GEICO Biller
Comments
-
Quicken recently replaced their bill connect service provider with another company. My understanding is:
- The old company (prior to a few months ago) listed lots and lots of supported billers, but almost none of them actually worked, it was very frustrating.
- The new company, while listing far fewer supported billers, seems to have much more of them working. Supported billers should get better with time, and I think you can request new billers support and they'll pass along the request to the third party (they may have a long list to add, priorities vary).
In the interim, you can still set up recurring bills for unsupported billers, but for now you'll have to manually edit the recurring series amounts for those biller. For example, my next geico 6-month policy is about $800-900, so what i did in advance is pre-reserve $150/month for those months in the recurring series - when the actual monthly billing schedule gets e-mailed to me, I can go (on the web app, anyhow) to the cash flow forecast, and either edit the series or edit individual reminders (for example, the first or last bill tends to be different) if i forecast out at least 6-12 months and edit the reminders/series.
In my opinion, the new system is an improvement, because it was frustrating before expecting something to work only to not understand why it's not working. I was "trained" by the old bill connect provider not to expect bill connect to ever work. I still have trust issues with bill connect.

Hello @lynchbro,
Thank you for reaching out! As @RobWilk said, we have a new service provider. They do not support as many billers as the old provider did, but the service is overall more reliable. For more information, please see this article:
Since GEICO is not currently supported, you can track it manually by creating a recurring bill as @RobWilk recommended. For information on how to do that, please see this article:
I hope this helps!

I don't use Geico anymore but when I did, I wasn't able to get Bill Connect to work for it.
