Quickbooks bill pay verify Vendor account info

I need to verify the bank account and routing number for a Vendor in Bill Pay.

Payment was sent to the vendor and funds were deducted from our bank account. 
The vendor has told us that the funds were not received.
How can I check the account and routing numbers entered for the vendors bank to confirm payment was sent to the correct bank account?

I have the steps where you can see the information, chris-morrison.

 

To view the vendor's bank account, here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to Expenses Pay Bills Online button.
  3. Under the Unpaid Bills tab or the Manage Vendors tabfind the vendor you want to view.
  4. Check the vendor's bank account info and then click Save.

I've got this article if you want to update the information: Add a vendor bank account.

 

Aside from the steps above, you can also view the bill payments you've sent that includes information like process date, payment method, and estimated arrival date.

 

Here are the steps:

 

  1. Go to + New on the left panel.
  2. Under Vendors, select Pay Bills Online
  3. Select the Sent Payments tab.

You can read these articles for more information:

I have this same issue/question. I followed your steps below but there is no way to view any of the vendor's information.

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to Expenses Pay Bills Online button.
  3. Under the Unpaid Bills tab or the Manage Vendors tabfind the vendor you want to view.
  4. Check the vendor's bank account info and then click Save.

When I complete step 4 the only thing I can do is take them off of bank transfers. I do not see where I can view any information.

Hi @wpoynter,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. Allow me to chime and provide some clarification about using the Online Bill Pay.

 

After entering the information from the initial setup, you can no longer verify the details. We usually initiate a small test deposit into your vendor's bank account to ensure it's accurate.

 

If you're unsure of the vendor information, the only option is to update the payment method again. You'll need to change the payment method from Online Bill Pay to paper checks and toggle it back within QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you revert, the system will ask you to re-enter their bank account information or sending them a new request. Please follow these steps:

 

  1. On the left panel, click Expenses.
  2. Go to the Vendors tab.
  3. Search and click the vendor.
  4. There will be a box at the top saying BILL PAY ONLINE, click the CHANGE PAYMENT METHOD TO CHECK link.
  5. Confirm action.
  6. It'll be asking you to invite the vendor to online bill pay, click the link and enter new bank info or send a new invite to the vendor.

To view payment details:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Select Transactions, then Expenses.
  3. Select Bill Payment under the Type column.
  4. You will see the details of the payment. (Note: If the payment was processed by Bill Pay with a paper check, the check image will appear once the check clears.)

For the successful payments, here's how:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Pay Bills Online button.
  3. Select the Sent Payments tab.

I've also attached an article you can use to learn more about paying vendors electronically in QuickBooks: Set up a bank transfer to a vendor.

 

Please keep in touch with me here should you need any further assistance regarding updating the bank account info. The Community always has your back.

That's really dumb. I just want to verify an old vendor I need to reactivate, not go through the process of re-adding them.

I appreciate you joining this conversation, egockel. 

 

Glad to have you here on the Community page. Allow me to share insights about activating your vendor in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Making your vendor active again is pretty easy. Let me show you the steps: 

 

  1. Go to the Expenses tab and select Vendors.
  2. On the Vendors page, click the Gear icon.
  3. Check the Include inactive box.
  4. Look for the vendor you want to activate. 
  5. Under the Action column, click on the Make active link.

 

That's it! your vendor is now active.

 

To give you more details about inactivating or restoring transactions in QuickBooks Online, you can always check out this link: How to edit, delete, and restore list elements.

 

Please let me know if you have any other concerns or follow-up inquiries about managing vendor accounts and transactions in QBO. I'll be here to keep helping. Have a nice day.

I appreciate the quick responses here, but I'm afraid folks aren't reading the questions/problems. There's no clear way to verify a vendor's bank account or routing number in Quickbooks.

Hello there, @egockel.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can pull up the Vendor Contact List report. This way, you'll be able to verify the vendor's bank account number.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Go to the Reports menu.

2. Select the Vendor Contact List report from the Expenses and vendors section.

3. Go to the Account # column to check your contractor's bank info.

 

I've attached a screenshot below that shows the third step.

After pulling up the report, you can print it by selecting the Print icon. This way, you can retain a copy of your vendor's information. You can also have the report memorized to save its current settings. For the detailed steps, kindly refer to this link: Memorize reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

QuickBooks will also let you manage your vendor's banking information for direct deposit by editing it through their profile. You can learn more about it by checking out this article under the QuickBooks Online Payroll section: Manage your direct deposit for contractors.

 

Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help. Take care always.
