Where on QuickBooks Desktop can I download an ACH authorization form to have my vendors sign so we can pay them via direct deposit?

Hi @JK7338,

 

Welcome to the Community. I can lend a hand on how you can pay using direct deposit in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can use Intuit’s Direct Deposit service to pay bills or make payments to independent contractors only. There's no authorization form needed to pay them in QuickBooks.

 

Just select Direct Deposit as your payment under the vendor's profile. There's also an option if you want to send payment confirmations via email. Please refer to this link: Set up and manage direct deposit for your contractors.

 

Sometimes, bills you want to pay won't appear on your end. I've attached an article you can use to learn more about the possible reasons and how to troubleshoot it in QuickBooks: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Drop me a comment if you have additional questions about paying vendors using direct deposit in QuickBooks Desktop. I'm always here to help. Take care always.

Hello, A few follow up questions...

  • Why can't you pay vendors via direct deposit? If not by direct deposit how do you pay them? I have concerns about using the online bill pay feature with melio based on reviews of transactions not being processed and poor customer service support.
  • Wouldn't I need an authorization form since I will need to collect their bank routing and account number information?

You can pay your Vendors direct deposit. You can use the form in QB but it talks about employees. 

You can always create your own or find one online. But a form should be used. Protects everyone.
