Investments Improvements

  • Mutual fund price callout
    Mutual fund prices update after markets close. When Quicken identifies a mutual fund, an info icon appears next to the price when the latest price displayed is not from the most recent trading day.
  • See the latest market data
    When looking at your Portfolio while markets are closed, Quicken will automatically show the price change data from the last trading day. It will then automatically advance when markets reopen.
  • Asset Classes in Portfolio
    We changed the way securities with multiple asset classes are displayed. Securities with multiple asset classes will display within each relevant asset class alongside a new percentage label that indicates the proportion of the security that falls within that asset class.
  • Cash in Security
    When the funds include "Cash" as one of the asset classes in a mixture, Quicken now differentiates it by naming the asset class "Cash in Security." Renaming the asset class helps to distinguish between cash as an asset and the actual cash in your account.

Version 6.6,6.6.1, & 6.6.2 (2/2022 & 3/2022)

We've made several small improvements throughout the product in this release.

Investment Improvements

  • IMPROVED - The Investment Dashboard Top Movers card gets a couple of enhancements. First, we've changed the sort order so that the top gainers appear at the top of the list and the top losers appear at the bottom, sorted by the actual value. The new sort order makes it easier to see which way your portfolio is heading. Second, green and red pills appear behind the numbers to help emphasize whether you're up or down for the day.
  • IMPROVED - The Allocation by Security and Asset Class cards have also been improved. As the cards grow wider, additional columns appear, taking advantage of the extra space to provide you with more information. Additionally, the colors used for each asset class remain the same between accounts making it easier to spot the asset classes you care about when reviewing multiple accounts.
  • IMPROVED - For Buy and Sell transactions, Quicken has always calculated the share price based on the Total Cost and the Number of Shares. In version 6.6, you can now optionally choose to enter the Share Price and Number of Shares, then let Quicken calculate the Total Cost.

Touch ID, Improved Register Header, and Report Toolbar Improvements

  • NEW - If you have Touch ID on your Mac or an Apple Watch, you can now use them to open your password-protected Quicken file.
  • IMPROVED - Quicken allows customers to sort their transactions based on a column. For example, if you want to see your transactions sorted by Payee, you can click the column header for Payee. Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to see which column was being used to sort the transactions. In 6.6, we've made this a lot easier. Now, the column header for the sorted column has blue lettering, and there's even a line at the top to make it obvious which column is controlling the sort.
  • IMPROVED - We've updated the Report Toolbar with two new options: Duplicate and Export. Now you can duplicate or export a report without opening it first. Finally, we've moved the Create New Report button that used to be in the report sidebar into the report toolbar, making it easier to find.

6.6.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue that could cause payee names and transfers to change, unexpectedly, after sync.
  • FIXED - Fixed sync issues in investment accounts, including a bug that could cause the account type to change to “Other” after sync.

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue that could prevent transactions from importing from Web Connect (QFX) files.

Version 6.5, 6.5.1, 6.5.2, & 6.5.3 (12/2021-1/2022)

Our new 6.5 release is exciting, with many enhancements. This includes a new investment dashboard toolbar, account sidebar indicators, auto-reconcile, bill presentment, and bill pay.

Investments just got a whole lot better

  • NEW - We've added a new toolbar to the investment dashboard. Change the date on the dashboard to see what your Holdings, Top Movers, and Allocation by Security and Asset Class were yesterday or even a year ago. Define the accounts to include in the dashboard when looking at Investments, Brokerage, Retirement, or Education account groups. You can update quotes, go to Account Settings, and hide cents using the Dashboard Cards.
  • IMPROVED - Our Dashboard Cards now expand horizontally and vertically to match the window so you can see more information. If the window is narrow, your dashboard will switch to a single column and you will see one card per row.
  • IMPROVED - The Holdings card is now wider so that you now can see the security name instead of the stock symbol. Also, both the Change (%) and Change ($) columns will appear if the card is wide enough.
  • IMPROVED - The Allocation Cards have been updated. You can now hover over the security name or a pie wedge to get more detailed information. We also display more pie wedges now that selecting a wedge is easier.
  • NEW - In the Securities window, you can now control the asset mix for each security, mutual fund, and ETF. You can let Quicken maintain and update the mix or define your mix manually.
  • IMPROVED - We’ve updated the look and feel of the security window. One key improvement was to reformat the date column under price history to improve readability.
  • EARLY ACCESS - We'll be turning on the ability to download market value numbers for roughly 800 more investment accounts. This includes Robinhood, M1 Finance, Fundrise, and others. You won't be able to see transactions for these accounts and in many cases only the market value will download rather than the individual securities, but including these accounts will help you more accurately track your net worth in Quicken.

We’ve made more improvements to our account sidebar indicators and auto-reconcile

  • NEW - You can now choose to have the blue dot by your account indicate unreviewed transactions instead of new transactions. This helps guide those who want to review all their transactions. Click the three dots at the top of the account sidebar to choose.
  • NEW - For those who review transactions and use auto-reconcile, we've added an option to preferences that automatically marks manually reconciled transactions as reviewed but leaves auto-reconciled transactions as un-reviewed. This allows you to know which auto-reconciled transactions need to be reviewed and categorized.
  • NEW - In this release, we've added an auto-reconcile indicator in the account sidebar. This will tell you whether an account was successfully auto-reconciled after an Update or if the account still needs to be manually reconciled because the online balance did not match the Quicken balance.

Adding eBills has been completely rebuilt from scratch to improve reliability and performance

  • NEW - Some eBills can take a long time to complete. Other eBills would not complete and fail instead. Our new Add eBill step-by-step process doesn't wait for everything to finish. It can now put an eBill in a pending state to be completed offline. The result of this change is eBills that were difficult to add before should now work.
  • NEW - Added a new Pending Tray to the bottom of Bills & Payee screens that lists all pending eBills. Keep an eye on the status of the eBills because some may need additional information from you to complete the process of adding them to Quicken.
  • NEW - The Add eBill process has also been redesigned to allow you to add multiple eBills from the same bill provider. For example, if you have multiple Chase credit cards you can add them all at once instead of adding them one at a time as you had to do in the past.
  • NEW - We'll automatically set up and propose a scheduled transaction to represent your bill. You can easily choose to edit or decline the proposed scheduled transaction.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the Income scheduled transaction type would change to Bill when splitting the transaction.

6.5.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - If Highlight accounts with unreviewed transactions was set, fixed an issue where unmatched, manually entered transactions would incorrectly cause the blue dot to display after downloading transactions.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the holdings dashboard card displayed the wrong number of shares for options.
  • FIXED - Fixed other minor stability and quality issues.

6.5.2 and 6.5.3Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which data in Summary and Comparison reports could become clipped or misaligned.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which the cash balance in some investment accounts would incorrectly change when more than one transaction download occurred on the same day.
  • FIXED - Fixed other minor stability and quality issues.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where some transactions would not be downloaded for Charles Schwab accounts when using v6.5.2.

Version 6.4,6.4.1,6.4.2,6.4.3,6.4.4, & 6.4.5 (9/2021-12/2021)

Continued improvements to the underlying technology used to connect to banks and brokerages.

  • IMPROVED - We’re updating the infrastructure used to connect Quicken to financial institutions, making it more secure and reliable. This is part of a long-term rollout that started in the last release.
  • IMPROVED - We’re also improving connections for specific financial institutions. Charles Schwab will be the first. More details to come.

Other improvements and fixes

  • IMPROVED - In the category list window we’ve added a way to quickly see used, unused, income, and expense categories.
  • IMPROVED - Continued to make Dark Mode better.
  • FIXED - Scheduled transactions will now appear in the Reconcile window.
  • FIXED - Fixed minor stability, quality, and performance issues.

6.4.1 and 6.4.2 Fixes

  • EARLY ACCESS - We've added a new Early Access feature for you to try out: Color Tags. If you turn this feature on in Preferences, you’ll be able to add color to your tags to help you better organize transactions. Since this is an Early Access feature, the color tags will only appear in Quicken on the Mac and won’t appear on web or mobile, and there isn’t a way to create a color tag from the register, but we think it’s still useful in its current form. Let us know what you think.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue that slowed search in the Payees & Rules window on Macs with a Touch Bar.
  • FIXED - Added the ability for release notes to display properly in Dark Mode.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the v6.4 What's New window wasn't appearing after launching Quicken.

6.4.3 Fixes

Charles Schwab account holders: Update now to continue downloading transactions from Schwab. We've been working with Schwab on a new, upgraded connection which improves performance, security, and reliability. You will need version 6.4.3 to take advantage of this new connection. The old Schwab connection will be discontinued soon, so please upgrade now.

  • IMPROVED - Made it easier for existing Schwab customers to switch to the new connection.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue that could cause transaction downloads to fail, which caused the update button to spin indefinitely.

6.4.4 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where Quicken gets stuck when upgrading financial institution connectivity.
  • IMPROVED - Improved performance during the connectivity upgrade process.

6.4.5 Fixes

  • IMPROVED - Improved reconnecting to Schwab accounts. Fixed an issue where hidden accounts would cause the Schwab Reconnection alert to appear. Added the list of accounts that need to be reconnected or disconnected to the alert.
  • IMPROVED - Reconnected Schwab accounts will now maintain the existing Simple vs Detailed Tracking setting.
  • IMPROVED - Improved transaction updates to reduce occurrences of duplicate transactions.

Version 6.3.0,6.3.1,6.3.2 & 6.3.3 (7/2021,8/2021, & 9/2021)

6.3 is here! We’ve made improvements to investments, budgets, reconcile, and... we’ve added a bit of darkness. Read on to find out more!

New investment dashboard and simple investment tracking

  • NEW - The new investment dashboard gives you a quick glance at your holdings. It highlights the top movers for the day and provides an allocation view of securities and asset classes.
  • NEW - Many people find investment accounts complicated and overwhelming. For these customers, we've created our simple tracking option. Simple tracking lets you focus on the information that matters most. You don’t have to deal with the complications and hassle of tracking individual investment transactions.
  • IMPROVED - We’ve added one-week, one-month, three-month, and six-month options to the Portfolio Chart.

Budget detailed mortgage payments and auto-reconcile accounts

  • NEW - You could always budget your mortgage payment if you used a loan payment category. Now, you can also budget your mortgage payment using a detailed scheduled transaction. Look for Loans (Detailed Payments) in the budget category picker and choose the loan payment you want to track.
  • NEW - We've made big improvements to our reconcile feature in the past two releases and this release continues to make advancements. In this release, we're giving you the ability to auto-reconcile online accounts. When you use auto-reconcile, if the online account balance matches your Quicken balance, your transactions are automatically marked as reconciled. Alternatively, you can set Quicken to notify you if the two balances match, and you can still manually review the transactions and mark them as reconciled.

Better indicators and notifications to be able to take action faster

  • NEW - We've always had blue dots on the sidebar to indicate when an account had new transactions. Now, the Quicken sidebar will also notify you when there are issues with an account. Selecting a notification dot will bring up the account status window.
  • NEW - Because we believe many people will prefer our new sidebar indicators to the Activity Status window, we’ve given you the ability to turn off Account Status so it doesn't appear after updating accounts.
  • NEW - If there are issues with an account, a status banner will appear at the top. In most cases, there will be a button to start the process of fixing the account.
  • IMPROVED - We continue to get Care calls from customers who think they've lost transactions only to find out their register was filtered. We've changed the Clear Filters button from white to green to make it easier to see when your register is filtered.

New early access feature and the beginnings of Dark Mode

  • NEW - We've created a feature called Early Access in which you can get an early look at new features before they are "officially" shipped. By selecting this feature, you will also be the first to be notified when we release updates. Check it out in Preferences.
  • NEW - The inaugural Early Access feature is Dark Mode. We've had a large number of customers ask for this feature, but we knew it was going to take multiple releases to complete. We're introducing Dark Mode under the Early Access banner with the understanding there continues to be a number of cosmetic issues that remain to be fixed but for many of you, the current state might be good enough. Let us know what you think or report issues by using the Report a Problem feature under the Help menu.

6.3.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which the Portfolio View settings weren’t saved or restored.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which accounts with different currencies were incorrectly grouped together when selecting Investing, Brokerage, Retirement, or Education in the sidebar.
  • FIXED - Fixed minor stability and quality issues.

  • FIXED - Fixed minor stability and quality issues.

6.3.3 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in reconcile where the first screen incorrectly displayed the register.
  • FIXED - Fixed minor stability and quality issues.

Version 6.2.0, 6.2.1 & 6.2.2(5/2021 & 6/2021)

Refreshed reconcile, new online help, and more...

  • IMPROVED - We've redesigned Reconcile to streamline the design, remove unnecessary buttons, and feature the most relevant options. This unites Re-reconcile and Reconcile to give you more consistency across features.
  • NEW - Get faster and more accurate answers to your Quicken questions by using the new online, unified help. A single search location will deliver results from Quicken help documentation, Quicken Care FAQs and support documents, videos, and the Quicken Community. Because your help is online, it will always deliver the most up-to-date information we have.
  • IMPROVED - We're modernizing the technology we use to integrate with banks and other financial institutions to download and update your transactions. This is to improve the security, stability, and accuracy of your account data.

6.2.1 Fixes

  • IMPROVED - Improved account transaction download stability and reliability.
  • IMPROVED - Enabled dragging and dropping investment transactions from one account to another so it now works like other types of accounts.

6.2.2 Fixes

  • IMPROVED - Improved the reconcile screen by including the previous reconciliation ending balance and date. A number of people missed seeing the previous balance.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in the reconcile screen in which switching from a Statement Balance to an Online Balance reconcile would incorrectly set the ending date.
  • FIXED - Normalized exceptionally wide column widths in the comparison report and edit budget screen.
  • FIXED - Stopped displaying an unnecessary "an unexpected error occurred" warning when updating accounts.

Version 6.1.0 & 6.1.1 (1/2021 & 2/2021)

Quicken 6.1 introduces new reconcile functionality, a more consistent behavior for saving reports, and minor enhancements to bill pay.

Ensure account balances match using our new reconcile tools

  • NEW - Reconciling your account is a great way to ensure that your Quicken balances match your bank or financial institution’s balances, but even previously reconciled transactions can inadvertently get changed or deleted. This causes discrepancies. Starting in 6.0, all of your reconciled sessions were remembered, and you’ll be able to review them in the new Reconcile History window.
  • NEW - If you see a discrepancy in the Reconciliation History, you can now re-reconcile the session to review and fix issues. You can quickly get your account balance back to its previous, accurate status.

Save reports consistently

  • NEW - Previously, some small report changes, such as expanding and collapsing categories, were saved even if you didn't intend them to be saved. Now, Quicken will always prompt you to save your report, so that you can be sure the changes are what you want. If you want to avoid the prompt, select the Save button on the report toolbar.
  • NEW - When prompted to save, you will also be given the opportunity to create a new report instead of saving the existing report.

See better information when you pay your bills, plus send checks in a new way (US Premier and above customers)

  • NEW - When you pay a bill using Quick Pay or Check Pay, you can now see the amount of your previous payment to that payee. This helps you better decide the size of your payment for the current bill.
  • NEW - For Check Pay, instead of sending your check using a specific Mail-on date, you can now choose the date you want your check to Arrive by.

Improved stability and bug fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where some QuickFill rules were getting deleted after editing and syncing.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which editing the date of a scheduled transaction removed the instance from the Calendar view.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which transactions that were improperly identified by the bank were skipped by Quicken, which resulted in missing transactions.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which selecting a transfer account in QuickFill would be lost when tabbing through the category field.

6.1.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in which Asset and Liability information was missing from the Accounts Summary report.
  • FIXED - Fixed issues with Report a Problem. The feature would fail if it appeared during Quicken launch or if comments were too long.
  • FIXED - Fixed a few minor issues in Reconciliation History and Re-reconcile.

Version 6.0.0,6.0.1,6.0.2, & 6.0.3(11/2020 & 12/2020)

Quicken 6.0 introduces a refreshingly new, yet familiar, user experience inspired by macOS Big Sur.

An improved, modern design

  • NEW - Quicken is now a Universal app which means it will take full advantage of the power and speed of new Apple Silicon Macs.
  • NEW - We removed the title bar and replaced it with a new Q button. The Q button is located on the right side of the Quicken window. Using the Q button menu, you can view your file name and access your Quicken account.
  • NEW - We restyled the quick access items at the top of the Quicken window to make them a more seamless, refined element of the design. You’ll still see easy-to-find links to key Quicken areas such as Home, Reports, Budgets, Bills & Income, Calendars, and Alerts.
  • NEW - We adopted Apple's standard icons for many of the toolbar buttons in Quicken to provide a more consistent and familiar experience.
  • NEW - In the register, we changed the Today line from blue to green to make it visible even when you've selected a transaction next to the line.
  • NEW - We revamped the Account Settings window so you can more easily manage your accounts.

Continued improvements to reports

  • NEW - We recently added several new Net Worth reports. To improve on these, we’ve now provided the ability to drill-down on net worth report segments to see the individual transactions that determine the amounts.
  • IMPROVEMENT - On the Report toolbar, we changed the Customize button to an Edit button to better represent its purpose. Use Edit to change your date range, and to select accounts, categories, tags, or payees. You can also use Edit to define advanced report functionality for grouping, organization, and how to handle transfers and adjustments.

Quick Pay and Check Pay enhancements (For US Premier and above customers)

  • NEW - We added a new Usage window that provides more detail regarding the number of payments you’ve made and how many payments are left in your allotment.
  • IMPROVEMENT - We've added a new Pay Another Bill button in the Quick Pay and Check Pay window to make paying bills faster.

New system requirements

  • NEW - Quicken v6.0 requires macOS 10.13 or higher.

  • FIXED - Fixed a Direct Connect account sync problem.

6.0.3 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in Edit Budget (introduced in version 6.0.2).

Version 5.18, 5.18.1, & 5.18.2(9/2020)

We've made a number of feature enhancements in bill pay, bills & income, budgets, reports, and the sidebar. You should also check out our updated system requirements.

New Activity tab for Bills & Income plus a new way to pay with Quick Pay and Check Pay

  • NEW - Bills & Income has a new tab called Activity. Once you pay a bill it will move to the Activity tab. From there you can manage and monitor your paid bills. A blue dot appears on the tab when there's something new. The Activity tab replaces the Recently Paid and Recently Deposited sections under the Bills & Income tab.
  • NEW - The Online Payment tab in the register has been renamed Bill Pay and now includes support for Quick Pay and Check Pay, in addition to bank bill pay and intra-bank transfers, and displays your current eBill information when paying your Quick Pay bills. You can also use a calendar to choose the day you pay your bills.

Track transfers in budgets and expand or collapse all sections in a report

  • NEW - We’ve added the ability to track transfers in budgets. This was one of our most requested features. Transfer categories are important for tracking deposits to savings and retirement accounts when preparing for retirement, or tracking withdrawals coming from retirement accounts once you’ve retired. You’ll find new Transfer In and Transfer Out sections in your categories.
  • NEW - We recently added the ability to print reports with expanded or collapsed sections. Now we’ve added an easy way to expand or collapse ALL of your report sections. Use the new Table Options button to Expand All or Collapse All. If you're using a transaction report, you'll also find the Columns option lets you change your columns.
  • NEW - Added report descriptions to provide more information about each default report. You can also add your own descriptions to your custom reports.

Better control over the display of accounts in the sidebar

  • NEW - In the last release, we added the ability to specify display settings for an account and to mark them as hidden, closed, or separate. This changed the way they were grouped in the sidebar. Now, we've added the ability to completely hide these groups in the sidebar. Select the three dots at the top of the sidebar to change your account display options. This only affects Quicken for Mac. These accounts, even if synced, will continue to appear on Web and Mobile.

New system requirements

  • NEW - This release will be the last version of Quicken for Mac that will run on macOS El Capitan (10.11) and macOS Sierra (10.12). The newer versions of macOS offer better performance, stability, security, and offer features that are required for the continued development of Quicken for Mac.

    You may continue running Quicken for Mac v5.18 even if you don’t upgrade your macOS version, but connected services (such as downloading transactions) will eventually stop working as we upgrade technologies used to connect to financial institutions.

Version 5.17,5.17.1,5.17.2, 5.17.3, 5.17.4,5.17.5, & 5.17.6 (7/2020,8/2020, & 9/2020)

This is an exciting release with major enhancements to reports, bill payment, scheduled transactions, budgets, and accounts.

All-new reports center: a redesigned reporting experience featuring increased interactivity, better organization, and new reports

  • NEW - The 5.17 update introduces a new Reports tab. Using the new Reports tab, you can search, open, and interact with your reports.
  • NEW - To make navigation easier and highlight popular choices, we’ve redesigned the organization of our reports. This includes creating new groups for Net Worth reports, Tax reports, and Transaction reports. We’ve also created a new Popular group that includes ten of the most common and useful reports.
  • NEW - To make it easier to read your reports, they now appear in individual windows rather than as a part of the main Quicken window.
  • NEW - Quicken now prompts you to save a report if you have made changes to it. This makes it easier to revisit useful customizations to your reports.
  • NEW - We've added four new Net Worth reports and a new Cash Flow Comparison report.

Enhanced Quick Pay, Check Pay, and scheduled transactions: improved scheduling and payment options, scheduled transaction sync, and bill pay alerts

  • NEW - You can now schedule a future dated Quick Pay or Check Pay payment. You are no longer required to send a payment immediately.
  • NEW - You can now assign a payment method to a scheduled transaction. For example, you can now set a particular bill to always be paid using Quick Pay.

  • NEW - Scheduled transactions will now sync to the Quicken Cloud so that you can review your bills using the mobile and web apps.
  • NEW - The calculation we use to derive Today's Balance has changed. Going forward, this balance will now match the running balance in the register and include past-due scheduled transactions.

Improved account management: new Hidden and Separate accounts, improved budgeting, and improved sidebar

  • NEW - You can now choose to exclude accounts from a budget. This helps you to create budgets that are more specifically tailored for your needs. The ability to select the accounts used for a budget was one of our most requested features.
  • NEW - Hidden accounts will now appear in their own group on the sidebar so they are easily accessible. This makes it easier to use All Transactions to search across every account, even ones that are hidden or have been closed.
  • NEW - We have added a Separate Accounts feature to improve support for tracking accounts that are outside of your personal, or primary finances. For example, you can use this feature to track accounts on behalf of a parent, child, or organization. These accounts will not be included by default in reports or net worth calculations.
  • NEW - You can now mark an account as Closed. Closing an account will zero out the balance, automatically move it to hidden accounts, and disconnect it from online services. Closed accounts will still be included in reports by default.
  • NEW - We have added a new control in the register so you can more easily adjust the scheduled transaction reminders you see in each account.

5.17.1 and 5.17.2 Fixes

  • NEW - Added the ability to close an account from the Hide and Show Accounts window and from the shortcut menu that appears when Control-clicking an account on the account sidebar.

  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that could occur on macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) and macOS 10.12 (Sierra) when adding attachments to transactions. If you’re on macOS 10.11 or 10.12, we encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of macOS for better performance, stability, and security. While we’ve continued to fix these 10.11 and 10.12 issues, this work will stop after the next release.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the First Check Number would be wrong in the Print Check window.
  • FIXED- Fixed a crash that could occur for Quicken Bill Pay customers when launching or quitting Quicken, or when trying to cancel a Quicken Bill Pay payment after August 31st.

Version 5.16 & 5.16.1 (5/2020)

The 5.16 release continues to improve the product in three key areas: QuickFill rules, reports, and bill pay.

Lock QuickFill rules and set default preferences

  • NEW - QuickFill rules can now be locked to prevent overwriting or modifying rules that you don’t want changed.

If you’re on macOS 10.11 or 10.12, we encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of macOS for better performance, stability, and security. While we’ve continued to fix these 10.11 and 10.12 issues, this work will stop in the next couple of months.

Version 5.15,5.15.1,5.15.2, & 5.15.3 (2/2020 & 3/2020)

The 5.15 release adds the ability to automatically create QuickFill rules with payees, tags, memos, and amounts and also a new way to pay bills.

Our new QuickFill enhancement includes the option to auto-save categories, tags, memos and amounts.

  • NEW- In the previous release, changing a transaction's category created a QuickFill rule with a payee and category pair. In 5.15, we've added the ability to save all the key transaction fields including the payee, category, tag, memo, and amount. You can define what will be automatically saved using the QuickFill rule. To do this, select the down arrow next to the word category and change it to all fields in the blue tab that appears above the category field. By changing this setting, Quicken will work the same way it did in the past when the last transaction's data was auto-filled into new transactions.
  • IMPROVED- The checkbox to create QuickFill rules in the transaction register will now always be checked by default and won't remember the last change. This is to ensure that rules are automatically created without having to constantly monitor or manage this setting.
  • FIXED- Fixed a number of QuickFill issues such as accidentally creating duplicate QuickFill rules when merging payees and duplicate split lines.

New way to pay bills (Premier customers only)

  • NEW- Quicken is introducing the Quicken Bill Manager service to U.S. users of Quicken Premier and above. Quicken Bill Manager is a brand-new way to pay your bills, and features two payment methods: Quick Pay and Check Pay.
  • NEW-Quick Pay is a way to make payments from your checking account to your web-based billers for anything from subscription services, to insurance payments, to your credit card bill. True to its name, Quick Pay is fast, usually having your payment recorded with your biller within minutes. We have lined up over 11,000 billers, so finding your biller is quick and easy.
  • NEW-Check Pay is a service that works with your checking account, and can be used to send payments by check to anyone with a valid U.S. address. You can pay smaller companies, services, and even individuals, straight from Quicken. You designate the payee and the amount; Quicken creates and sends the check. You don't even have to pay for postage.

5.15.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed a number of small Quick Pay and Check Pay issues.
  • FIXED - Fixed a number of stability issues that appeared in the release.

  • IMPROVED - Added a warning that changing the account or routing number will require new Check Pay micro-deposits to be sent and verified.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where some birthdays entered in the Quick Pay and Check Pay payment account window weren't being allowed.
  • FIXED - Removed Cash accounts from the list of accepted accounts for Quick Pay and Check Pay. Any Cash account that was set up for Quick Pay or Check Pay will be changed to a checking account.

Version 5.14.0,5.14.1,5.14.2, & 5.14.3 (1/2020)

The 5.14 release improves auto-categorization by introducing QuickFill. QuickFill associates categories and other transaction information with specific payees. This release also extends 5.13 report capabilities to transaction reports and expands Renaming Rule functionality.

QuickFill allows rules to be created to auto-complete transactions

  • NEW - QuickFill will improve auto-categorization of downloaded and manually entered transactions. Changing a category will automatically create a QuickFill rule that will be applied the next time that payee is entered. Click the checkbox above the category to control whether a rule is automatically created.
  • NEW - 5.14 will no longer automatically save the transaction's tags, memo, or amounts because these tend to be specific to a particular transaction. However, if you want a tag, memo, or amount to always be associated with a payee you can add this to the QuickFill rule using Payees & Rules under the Window menu.
  • NEW - Refined the payee menu that appears as you type a payee name. Now you will see both the best payee matches as well as QuickFill items for the payees.
  • NEW - Quickly create new manual transactions by selecting a QuickFill item to automatically enter all the relevant transaction fields with one click. For example, you can define different QuickFill rules for the different types of items you always purchase at stores such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Costco. You can define whether that's groceries, electronics, clothing, or any other items typically purchased at each store.

Improved reports

  • NEW - Added transaction report time intervals. Previously, a time transaction report would be grouped in one giant bucket for the entire report period. Now, you can define reports grouped by week, month, quarter, or other time interval.
  • NEW - Added Cash Flow and advanced transfer and adjustment capabilities to transaction reports.
  • FIXED - Changed the way the first interval of 2-week time interval reports are defined. The first day within the date range is now considered to be the beginning of the first week of the interval. The first week will be a partial week if that day doesn't fall on a Sunday.

New Renaming Rule features and other improvements

  • NEW - Sometimes a Renaming Rule isn’t effective and you would rather get the payee statement name that comes straight from the bank or credit card company instead of a truncated name that may not mean much to you. You can now create a Do Not Rename payee rule.
  • NEW - In 5.13, auto-created renaming rules for payee names such as "check","atm", or "withdrawal" were blocked because they could potentially rename more transactions than expected. Now, you'll be given the option to create a rule but the renaming rule checkbox above the payee name in the register will always be off by default.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where some eBills stuck in error couldn't be fixed because multi-factor authentication (MFA) was broken and wouldn't appear. If you have an eBill with a red exclamation mark, click on the red exclamation mark to fix the issue.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the day change for security quotes were incorrect on Mondays. This was only an issue with a couple of brokerages.
  • FIXED - Fixed a number of stability issues.

5.14.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed a stability issue that could cause Quicken to stop working when viewing or changing the Row setting of a transaction report.
  • FIXED - Fixed a stability issue when downloading transactions.
  • FIXED - Fixed a stability issue when importing a Quicken Windows file.

5.14.2 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue that would create a 0 amount split line in some transactions with payees associated with 0 amount, single split line, QuickFill rules. This resulted in 0 amount transactions in transaction reports.
  • FIXED - Decreased the minimum window size for more flexibility.

5.14.3 Fixes

  • IMPROVEMENT - Added a step to optimize the size and performance of a file on upgrades.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where PRINT was removed from the check number field after syncing.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where transaction auto-matching didn't work on transfer transactions created from a QuickFill.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the transaction report wouldn't update after changing the Row.
  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that could occur when searching QuickFill rules.
  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that impacted a handful of customers on file upgrade.

Version 5.13.0, 5.13.1,5.13.2, & 5.13.3 (10/2019 & 11/2019)

The 5.13 release is focused on report and list window improvements.

New Report Tools

  • NEW - You can now organize summary and comparison reports by Inflows and Outflows instead of just Income and Expense using the new Cash Flow report customization option under the Advanced tab.
  • NEW - You can now define what types of transfers to include in Summary and Comparison reports.
  • NEW - You can now include calculated Realized and Unrealized Gain in Summary and Comparison reports. The Realized Gain category will appear in all reports by default. Customize the report to remove it.
  • NEW - You can now see all of your report options when you create a Transaction, Summary, and Comparison report. Also, the report title will automatically update as each option is changed.

Category, Payee, Tag, Action, and Security Window Improvements

  • NEW - You can now search for a category in the Category List window.
  • NEW - You now have more control over how categories, payees, and tags merge with the new Merge window. The new Merge window allows you to see your number of uses. It also provides you with the ability to define what the final merged name will be.
  • NEW - You can speed up menu selection in the list windows by right-clicking or Control+clicking to get a contextual menu, making it faster and easier to add or merge list items.
  • NEW - You can now see the total count of your list items and the number you have selected.
  • NEW - You can now use Command+N while in the list window to create new payees, categories, tags, actions, or securities.

File Import, Scheduled Transaction, and Other Improvements

  • NEW - The new macOS Catalina does not allow 32-bit apps to run. This causes the local Quicken 2007 and Quicken Windows file converters to fail. To address the issue, Quicken Mac will now temporarily upload a file to a new cloud-based converter that will convert the file, transfer it back to Quicken Mac for import, and then delete it.
  • IMPROVED - We changed the way the Twice a Month scheduled transaction frequency worked. Previously, the first day had to be earlier than the second day which could cause past-due instances.
  • IMPROVED - We changed the way the Twice a Year scheduled transaction frequency worked. Previously, both dates had to be in the same year, but this did not make sense when the starting date was at the end of the year.
  • IMPROVED - Renaming rules are now grouped under a payee name in the Payees & Rules window.
  • IMPROVED - We removed the 32-character limit for Payees when a payee name is not associated with Bill Pay.
  • IMPROVED - Typing the letter P in the check field will automatically set it to PRINT.
  • IMPROVED The Attachments panel in the register now tells you that a file can be dragged to the panel to add the attachment.
  • IMPROVED Some payee names contain words such as Check or Withdrawal that could appear in many unrelated transactions. Previously, the option to create a renaming rule was turned off for these words because a rule could accidentally be created that was too broad and renamed too many transactions. Many found this to be too restrictive so now people are given the option to create a rule, but the option is turned off by default.

5.13.1 Fixes

  • FIXED- Customers running macOS 10.11 El Capitan would sometimes crash when trying to merge payees with renaming rules. This would only occur for customers running macOS 10.11.
    If you're running macOS 10.11, which is over fouryears old, please consider upgrading to a newer version of macOS. We have officially stopped supporting 10.11 but have NOT yet enforced this. At some point, in the not-too-distant future, customers running macOS 10.11 won't be able to upgrade to the latest version of Quicken Mac. Apple makes a number of changes and bug fixes in each macOS release and it's difficult to keep Quicken Mac working reliably on fourdifferent versions of the operating system. In addition, we primarily test on the latest twoversions of the OS so issues like the one above will be missed from time to time.

5.13.2 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed crashes that could occur on macOS 10.11 El Capitan or 10.12 Sierra.
    If you're on macOS 10.11 or 10.12, we encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of macOS for better performance, stability, and security.

5.13.3 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that would occur for a small group of people when clicking on loans.
  • FIXED - Fixed more crashes that could occur on macOS 10.11 El Capitan or 10.12 Sierra. One of these crashes occurred when viewing the investment security history list.
    If you're on macOS 10.11 or 10.12, we encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of macOS for better performance, stability, and security.

Version 5.12.0,5.12.1,5.12.2,5.12.3,5.12.4, & 5.12.5 (8/2019 & 9/2019)

  • FIXED- Fixed an issue where Quicken wasn't recognizing the tax-free flag on a security.
  • FIXED- Fixed an issue where dividend transactions were being duplicated. This would occur when the dividend was reinvested on the next day and turned into a Reinvested Dividend and the original dividend wasn't getting properly deleted.

Other new features and fixes

  • NEW- Added a new Adjust Account Balance feature. Tell Quicken what the account balance should be on a certain date and Quicken will add an adjustment balance for you.

  • NEW- Added the ⌘+0 key command to reset the register text size to the default.

  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that could prevent a file from being opened. This could occur in rare cases where an unsupported, complex scheduled transaction that contained one or more transfers failed to convert to our new scheduled transactions model.

  • FIXED - Fixed an issue where the Quicken Support screen sharing tool (Help > Share Screen…) failed to launch on macOS 10.14.

Version 5.11,5.11.1, & 5.11.2 (3/2019 & 7/2019)

New Features -Change register text size and transfer shares

  • NEW -In 5.11, we've added a way to customize the register text size and row height. Under the View menu, click on Register Text & Row Settings to change the text size. Making the text larger will make it easier to read. Making the text smaller will allow you to squeeze more information on the screen at a time. Previously, row height was in the View menu, but now we've added it to this same window, so you can make all the changes at once. While viewing the register, use command + or - to immediately grow or shrink the register text size. This change only affects the text used in the register rows and does not affect the text labels in the register forms or other parts of the application such as the Account sidebar.
  • NEW - Also in 5.11, we've added a new feature that allows you to transfer one security or all your securities from one account to another. By using this feature, Quicken will automatically create Remove and Add Share transactions in the respective accounts and maintain the cost basis information from one account to the other. Add a transaction as you normally would in your investment account and select Transfer Shares in the transaction type to start the process or click on the Transfer Shares button in the Remove Shares form.
  • NEW - 5.11 also improves reports. Under Summary Reports, there's a new None time interval. Selecting None uses the time interval defined in the customize report window as the basis of your summary report.
  • NEW - Added the ability to open an account in a standalone window from the thin sidebar. Click the Account menu, hold down the command key, and then select an account.
  • NEW -Added a My Quicken Account menu item under Help to be able to quickly view and edit one's Quicken account information.

  • FIXED - Fixed a number of issues that could cause the application to crash.

The 5.8 release has a number of improvements in reports, budgets, investments and performance.

Security and Performance Improvements

  • NEW - In 5.8, all password protected files will be encrypted by default, making your files more secure. However, this will increase the time it takes to open and close files.

In 5.7, we continue to focus on performance, refining the bills & income feature, and fixing bugs in reports and throughout the product.

Performance

  • NEW- We continue to work on improving the Quicken launch performance and experience. First, when you click on Quicken in the dock, a message will immediately appear telling you that Quicken is opening your file. Previously, there wasn't any indication that the application was launching. Second, we removed a database validity check that would occur every time you opened a file. In most cases, this wasn't needed but it took a long time to do and would slow opening files. Now, this check will only occur if Quicken thinks your database may have been damaged.
  • IMPROVED- We also improved the time it takes to display the portfolio view chart. This could take a long time if you had years and years of investment data in an account.

Continued Bills & Income improvements

  • NEW- We added an Update button in the upper right corner of the Bills & Income screen, so you can update just your eBills without needing to download or sync all your accounts.
  • NEW- Your eBills will now display "Awaiting next bill" after you've paid the bill but Quicken hasn't received an updated balance. It used to show 0 so there wasn't any indication if your balance was 0 or if the balance wasn't updated yet.
  • NEW- Passing over the generic bill icon next to your bills will now turn into a Link eBill button when you mouse over it. Clicking it starts the process of searching for your eBill.
  • NEW- In this release, we're also introducing the concept of a "manual" payee for people like your gardener or hairdresser who are paid with cash or a check. This tells Quicken to never search for an eBill for this payee which should simplify and speed up the process of paying or tracking these payees.
  • NEW- Added the Type column to Bills and Income views.
  • FIXED- Now the PDF icon will only appear if there are statements to look at.

ImportantInvestments Update in Version 5.6and 5.6.1

The 5.6 and 5.6.1 patches bring with them some changes to investment categorization. Here are some key points:

  • The 5.5 patch inadvertently allowed usersto select Quicken-reserved investment categories as regular categories.
  • The 5.6 patch fixed this by not allowing users to pick these categories anymore, but unfortunately for those that did pick an investment category, these categories became "Uncategorized."
    • For usersthat have already run into this issue,you will need to search for "Uncategorized" investment transactions and then manually fix them.
  • For users on5.6.1, it is solved in twoways:
    • For investment transactions that have a corresponding Action, Quicken will convert their transaction to use the Action. For example, if the user selected a Buy category, in 5.6.1 this transaction will be turned into a Buy action.
    • For transactions that use a Quicken-reserved investment category but don’t have a corresponding action, these will be converted to a new category called "Investments (Custom)" and they will retain their category. For example, if someoneused "Investments : Interest Expense" in a checking account transaction, the category will be changed to "Investments (Custom) : Interest Expense."

Version 5.6.0,5.6.1,5.6.2, & 5.6.3 (5/2018)

The new changes in version 5.6 are focused around 4 key areas: performance, reports, investments and bills & income. We also continue to improve the overall stability throughout the product.

Improved application performance

In 5.6, we focused on improving app performance. Customers with years and years of investment transactions were the most impacted so we zeroed our efforts around investments, but everyone should benefit.

  • NEW - Drastically improved launch times for customers with lots of investment history. A lot of the slowness was downloading and storing quotes which has been significantly optimized.
  • NEW - As part of this performance improvement, Quicken will now only download quotes for held securities, ignoring securities that are no longer owned. In the Securities list, we added a column, so you can see which securities are held. If you want to manage this yourself, you can turn this feature off and then a new column appears, so you can select which securities to update.
  • NEW - Switching to the investment view is significantly faster but drawing the chart can still take some time. By the way, you can hide the chart by dragging up on the bar between the chart and the portfolio table which also improves the overall performance of these views.
  • NEW - Switching from the Portfolio Value view to Performance view is a lot faster now.
  • NEW - Switching between different Groups in the Portfolio View now immediately update.

Improved report usability and functionality

  • NEW - The Comparison, Summary and Transaction reports created from New Report now display date range and customization settings in the upper right corner. This information also appears in printed and exported reports.
  • NEW - The report customization dialog has been simplified to have 2 basic settings: 1) Include any account, category, tag, or payee or 2) Include only selected accounts, categories, tags or payees. Previously it was not obvious what would happen if all accounts, categories, tags, or payees were selected.
  • NEW - As part of refining this experience, column selection for transaction reports has been moved to the report toolbar.
  • NEW - The drill-down report will now remember the columns chosen so that all future drill down reports will include the same columns.
  • FIXED - The Comparison, Summary and Transaction reports created from New Report will now export foreign and other special characters to the CSV file.

Continued refinement of investment portfolio view

  • NEW - The portfolio view can now be printed, exported to a CSV file, or copied and pasted into a spreadsheet.
  • NEW - The portfolio view now remembers which securities have been expanded and collapsed.
  • NEW - Added a way to expand all or collapse all securities. CTRL-click, or right-click, the portfolio view header to get to see these options.
  • NEW - Securities without a cost basis will now display an Add Cost Basis button that will bring up the dialog to cost basis information.
  • NEW - The number of shares column will now display more than 3 decimal places.
  • NEW - The Y-Axis now always starts at zero.

Better eBill support in Bills & Income

  • NEW - Changed the way track flow works. First, Quicken asks whether you want to add an eBill or manual bill. Second, if creating an eBill, Quicken will allow you to enter any name to search for an eBiller vs forcing you to pick an existing payee. You'll link the eBill to the payee later in the process.
  • NEW - Added an Add Payee option to the Payee screen.
  • NEW - Added a column to the Payees list window to more easily select which payees should appear in the Bills & Income screen.

General improvements across the product

  • NEW - Improved transaction downloads. Previously, downloading from Direct Connect accounts would block you from doing anything else. Now Direct Connect works like Quicken Connect accounts in that you can continue to use Quicken while downloading is happening in the background.
  • NEW - In the register, the name of the column being sorted will display more boldly in order to make it more obvious which column is being used to sort the register.
  • NEW - Also in the register, we now always display the balance regardless of the column being sorted. When not sorted by Date or CLR, the balance column will have an italicized, dark gray color to let you know the balance won't match your statement.
  • NEW - Updated the Column menu in the register to allow you to more easily hide and show columns. We also added a Reset to Default menu item to get back to the default for the current account.
  • FIXED - Fixed a number of bugs and stability issues.

5.6.1 Fixes

  • FIXED - Fixed a report customization issue where all payees including hidden payees would appear in a report if no payees were selected. In 5.6, this setting was converted to use the new Any Payee feature, but it inadvertently excluded hidden payees. We're fixing this in 5.6.1 so that hidden payees will be included by default. Please review the Include hidden payees checkbox to see if it is set properly for your reports. A big thanks to Najmi for their help in figuring out this issue.
  • FIXED - Fixed a similar report customization issue for Accounts. Previously, if all accounts were selected then all accounts including hidden accounts were included. In 5.6, this setting was converted to use the new Any Account feature, but it did not include hidden accounts which meant the same report would have different results. In 5.6.1 when these reports are converted, they will include hidden accounts by default. Please review the Include accounts hidden in reports checkbox to see if it is set properly for your reports.
  • FIXED - In 5.5, we inadvertently allowed one to assign a Quicken-reserved investment category to a transaction which shouldn't have been possible. In 5.6.x, these categories were hidden so they could no longer be selected but this also meant that any transaction that used one of these special categories became Uncategorized. In 5.6.1, we're improving this behavior so that if one of these categories was used, we'll automatically create a new, user-defined category with the same name, but these will now be under a new parent category called Investments (Custom). If the transaction was used in an investment account, we'll first try to convert it to use the corresponding "Action" such as Buy or Sell, etc.
  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking through menus while other windows were open such as the Account Status window.
  • FIXED - Fixed a crash that could happen when customizing report settings.
  • CHANGED - In 5.6, we changed the Y-Axis in the portfolio view chart to start at 0 to be more accurate to the actual account market fluctuations. However, a number of customers stated they liked the old design better because it was easy to see the changes in the account. We decided to go back to the previous design for now until we can make this a user-defined option in a future release.

5.6.2 Fixes

  • IMPROVED - Quicken and Capital One are in the process of upgrading the connection type used to download transactions. Quicken for Mac v5.6.2 is required for this change. Over the course of the next month or so, Quicken will start migrating customers to the new connection type. This change will happen over time. When this change takes place, your Capital One accounts will stop working and you will get a 351 error. Click on the Sign In button in the Account Status window to fix the issue which will prompt you to enter your Capital One username and password. Check the box next to each of your accounts to reauthorize them even if they've already been added to Quicken.
  • FIXED - Fixed an issue in budget export where numbers over a thousand caused extra columns to be created.

5.6.3 Fixes

  • FIXED- Fixed an issue where Quicken would hang as it tried to open a file. Unfortunately, the auto Mark As Paid feature didn't expect that scheduled transactions could end and therefore got stuck when it encountered one. A big thank you to Arthur, Jasmyn, Alex and others who reported the issue and worked with us to figure out a fix.
  • FIXED- Fixed a number of small issues that could crop up when trying to add Capital One accounts.

Version 5.5, 5.5.1,5.5.2,5.5.3,5.5.4,5.5.5, 5.5.6, & 5.5.7 (2/2018, 3/2018, & 4/2018)

Version 5.5 improves support for Canadian customers, refines the Bills & Income view, fixes report and investment features and improves overall stability and performance across the product.

New Canadian Features

  • NEW New support for Canadian categories and tax line items.
  • NEW Added a new Canadian Tax Schedule report.
  • NEW Added a new feature to be able to add back either US or Canadian default categories. Click on the gear icon in the category list to add default categories.
  • NEW Added a new preference to turn on US or Canadian features regardless of membership. This means that if you're a US member but are actually Canadian, you can turn on Canadian features. This also means if you're a Canadian member but have US bank accounts, you can turn on US features like Bill Pay.
  • NEW When creating a new file, Quicken asks if you want US or Canadian default categories for those who have turned on both US and Canadian features.
  • IMPROVEMENT The Edit Category dialog can now be resized to help with tax line item assignment.
  • IMPROVEMENT A category can now be defined as being tax related without requiring an assigned schedule and tax line item. This is useful if tracking city, state or provincial tax items that are not currently supported in Quicken.
  • IMPROVEMENT Canadian members who have investment accounts classified as an IRA, 401K or other US account type are notified that they can be changed to a Canadian account such as TFSA, RRSP or RESP.

Scheduled Transaction, Bill Pay and Bills & Income Improvements & Fixes

  • NEW Added new Payee view in Bills & Income. Go to the Payee view to quickly pay a bill for a particular payee. Quicken automatically displays eBill payees in this view but you can decide which payees appear by clicking on a checkbox in the Edit Payee dialog.
  • NEW Added the logos for payees that have eBills.
  • NEW Added a status column to Bills and Payees to notify people if there is an eBill error. Click on the exclamation mark in a red dot to find out more about the issue.
  • IMPROVED Refined the overall look of Bills & Income.
  • IMPROVED The amount for a cancelled bill payment will automatically be added to the memo field for tracking purposes.
  • FIXED Fixed a number of issues in Bill Pay. Bill Pay will now let you know if a bill payment has to be moved because of a holiday. In addition, Bill Pay will now take the financial institution's last submission time into account when setting a date. Previously this wasn't used and people could set a date that was earlier than the financial institution could handle.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where creating a new scheduled transaction by clicking on the Scheduled checkbox in the date picker would set the starting date 1 month in the future instead of the current date.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the Pay Now menu item didn't work.

Report Improvements & Fixes

  • NEW Added the ability to save a comparison, summary and transaction report as a custom report. This means you can start with an existing report instead of being forced to create a new report from scratch.
  • NEW Added the ability to add the Action column to transaction reports.
  • IMPROVED Quicken will now remember column widths in the transaction report so long memos won't make it difficult to read the report.
  • IMPROVED Transaction drill down works again. The row will highlight and clicking a transaction will pop-up a register window with the transaction selected.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue in the transaction report where split memo items weren't appearing. Now both parent and split memos will appear.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the check# didn't appear in the printed or exported transaction report.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue in the Tax Schedule D report where the gain was sometimes reported incorrectly when the buy and sell occurred on the same day.

Investment Improvements & Fixes

  • NEW Added Opening Price to the Price History dialog.
  • NEW Opening Price is now updated when quotes are downloaded and also imported from a CSV file.
  • IMPROVED Improved the accuracy of the portfolio view graph.
  • IMPROVED Improved IRR calculations. Previously Quicken wouldn't calculate an IRR if you didn't hold the security at the beginning of the period. Now IRR appears as long as you held the security during the period.
  • IMPROVED Previously the Market Value in the top banner of investment accounts was independent of the filter for the portfolio view. Now this number matches the selected accounts and currency for the portfolio view.

General Improvements & Fixes

  • IMPROVED Drastically improved the performance of auto-saving a backup file when quitting Quicken.
  • IMPROVED Improved auto-categorization.
  • IMPROVED Improved the Clear button. On views where there are multiple accounts, the clear button would always appear. Now the Clear button only appears if the default filters are changed.
  • IMPROVED Changed the way the running balance column works in the transaction register. Previously the balance number would be hidden if sorting by any column other than date and CLR. It was also hidden when the transaction list was filtered. We received a number of calls from customers who were confused by it being hidden. The running balance column is calculated and reflects the balance based on the sort order of the transactions when viewing them and is not a static number tied to a particular transaction.
  • IMPROVED Improved the Add Account experience. Quicken will first try to sign-in to your bank account using Direct Connect which is a higher quality method of connecting to your bank. If this fails, then Quicken will automatically fall back to Quicken Connect.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the message "The transaction recorded but is not visible in filtered view" would appear after adding a transaction even though it shouldn't appear.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where an exported QXF file from Mac was failing to import into Quicken Windows with a "Memory Allocation Error".
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the Clean Up Payee preference wasn't working for Quicken Connect accounts.
  • FIXED Fixed a number of the top crashing issues.

5.5.1 Fixes

  • FIXED Fixed a crash that would occur when importing Quicken Essentials files with investments.

5.5.2 Fixes

  • IMPROVED Dramatically improved investment transaction download performance. Thanks to Joe for his patience and pushing us to investigate direct connect and launch performance issues. More to come.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where creating an intra-bank electronic transfer on the weekend popped up a warning message saying the transfer couldn't occur because it was a holiday. This prevented transfers from working properly. Thanks to pauldv172 who was the first to report this.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue in the transaction report where tags on splits didn't appear, print or export. Thanks to RickO and michael1212 for bringing this issue up in the forums.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the tax schedule report wouldn't show the capital gains from security sales in different currencies if there weren't any other tax-related transactions in different currencies. Thanks to Gilles for bringing this to our attention.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where bill pay check numbers were being lost. We fixed a few things around this issue before, but we think we have finally found the root cause and fixed it.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash that could occur when launching Quicken if the saved default view was a grouped investment (such as Investing, Brokerage, Retirement or Education) with one of the accounts in that group deleted.

5.5.3 Fixes

  • FIXED Fixed an issue that prevented Quicken Windows investment files from importing properly.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where investment placeholders weren't appearing in the transaction list.

5.5.4 Fixes

  • FIXEDFixed a Quicken 2007 import issue. Linked transfers with a class to investment accounts created orphaned transfers in Quicken 2018. Thanks to JustinS for his great detective work in narrowing down the problem.
  • FIXED Fixed a problem when importing investment transactions via web connect.
  • FIXED Increased the timeout for adding eBills. Some financial institutions like USAA take a bit longer to download bill information so this change allows these bills to complete. Thanks to MikeW who worked tirelessly with us to figure out the right amount of time to wait.
  • FIXEDAdded Canadian Tax line items to investment categories.
  • FIXED Fixed QIF file import for those moving from other software products.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where transaction downloads would stop working after a customer received a multi-factor authentication screen. Thanks to KristinD, one of our beloved product managers, for finding and reporting this issue.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where sweep accounts were storing Dividend and Reinvested Dividend transactions as Interest. Thanks to RichardK who reported this in the forums.

5.5.5 Fixes

  • FIXED Fixed a performance issue in the investment transaction register. Thanks to EdmundC who first reported this issue. Unfortunately, we thought this was fixed in 5.5.4 but found out the fix never made it in.
  • FIXED Fixed a couple of investment issues around lots. Fixed an issue where some new lot purchases weren't appearing in the Portfolio View. Also fixed an issue where future sales would affect what lots displayed in the Specify Lots dialog of an earlier sale.
  • FIXED Printing scheduled transactions on the Projected Balances view is now enabled.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash when sorting on the Sync ID column.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash that appeared to occur when switching to Quicken from another application, opening another file, or even backing up.

5.5.6 Fixes

  • FIXEDFixed an issue where some customers were being asked to enter their Quicken ID every time they tried to update their accounts.

5.5.7 Fixes

  • FIXED Fixed an issue that affected a small number of customers where Quicken would freeze on launch.

Version 5.4.4 (12/2017)

General bug fixes and improvements

  • FIXED Fixed a sync bug where Canadian investment account types were overwritten by Other.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the printed transaction report didn't display the transaction amounts.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the accrued interest category wasn't being set for accrued interest transactions created from a Buy Bond transaction. Thanks to everyone that brought this up in the forums.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the column names in the customize transaction report dialog didn't match what is defined in the register. Thanks to RickO for reporting this in the forums.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the editable areas in an investment or loan register become misaligned from the blue highlight after resizing the columns.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the payments chart legend in a loan couldn't display the Euro and other currency symbols. Thanks to JohnM who reported this in the forums.
  • FIXED Fixed a major Quicken Windows import issue where linked transfer transactions between accounts of different currencies would be imported and the amounts changed because Quicken for Mac doesn't support linked transfers with different values. Now the transactions will be unlinked and the category will be changed to Transfer so that balances remain correct.
  • FIXED Fixed a handful of the top crashing issues.

Version 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, & 5.4.3 (12/2017)

  • NEW Added the ability to choose columns for the transaction report.
  • NEW Added a total row to the transaction report.
  • NEW Added the ability to Pay Bills and Edit Details using the updated Bills menu in the Bills view.
  • IMPROVED Clicking on an amount in the Summary or Comparison report brings up the new transaction report. This fixes a number of issues with the old report and properly classifies items into Income and Expense vs Money In and Money Out. For now, you can't click on a transaction to go to the register but we'll be adding it back soon.
  • IMPROVED Added the ability to switch from a bond to another account type. Before Bonds couldn't be switched. Thanks to Bob in the forums for making this suggestion.
  • IMPROVED Added the symbol field to the security edit bond screen. In previous versions, the symbol field was hidden. Thanks to TomB for making this request.
  • IMPROVED Clicking on Edit Accounts in Preferences now logs the customer into their account automatically without having to re-enter their credentials.

Feature Improvements for New Canadian Members

  • NEW Canadian members will now see Canadian investment accounts such as TFSA, RRSP and RESP instead of US account types. This will not be available to Canadian customers with a US membership now but the plan is to make this available soon.
  • NEW Features that aren't available for Canadian customers such as Bill Pay and Bill Presentment are now hidden so Canadian customers with a Canadian membership won't have to deal with features they can't use.
  • COMING SOON We are still working on getting Canadian categories and tax line items added to the product but they will be coming soon. The Tax Report has been removed for now.
  • IMPROVED Budgets now default to the home currency.

Version 5.4.1

  • FIXED Fixed a crash that a number of people hit while trying to download transactions.
  • FIXED Fixed an asset sync error.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where securities in the Group by Security view would always display their lots. They should appear collapsed.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where clicking on a lot would display the Security pop-up. It should only work on the Security name.

Version 5.4.3

  • FIXED Fixed an issue where customers receiving a required password change request from their financial institution couldn't change their password because the password field was disabled.

Version 5.3.0,5.3.1, & 5.3.2 (11/2017)

Version 5.3.2

  • FIXEDFound an issue when turning off the Single Mutual Fund feature in an account where there are linked transfers. We'll be temporarily blocking the ability to turn off the feature as we work on a permanent fix.

Version 5.3.1

  • FIXED Fixed an issue where opening the reconcile dialog would cause the Balance column to disappear in the account register.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash that occurred when opening the reconcile dialog under narrow conditions. Thanks to RexK who reported the issue and helped us test the fix.
  • FIXED Fixed a Quicken Windows import crash that would occur if there was a loan transaction that only had a single transaction split. Quicken Mac was expecting 2 splits.

Version 5.3.0

  • NEW Added a new Edit Details menu item to the Bills & Income menu where you can quickly edit the details of a bill.
  • NEW Clicking on a security name in the Portfolio View now pops up a menu. The menu displays the security symbol and 2 buttons. One goes to Edit Security and the second goes to a web page that provides detailed information about the security.
  • IMPROVED The chart in investment portfolio view now has a smoother line.
  • IMPROVED Improved Bills & Income so that Credit Card bills that are set up as linked transfers appear only in the Bills list once and doesn't appear under Income.
  • IMPROVED The portfolio view chart now recognizes when the user picks an As-of-Date that is before any money was invested in the account. In this case, Quicken will tell the user that there isn't any data to graph for the as-of-date selected.
  • FIXED Fixed a bug where the Print menu item was grayed out when looking at the investment transaction view.
  • FIXED The chart in portfolio view can be resized or hidden but unfortunately the height of the charts wasn't remembered. This is now fixed.
  • FIXED Fixed some rounding error issues in investment transactions that would cause bogus placeholders to appear.

  • FIXED Fixed an issue where the Day Open column in Portfolio View only returned 0.
  • FIXED Fixed an issue where account selection in Projected Balances view would affect other views such as All Accounts.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash that would occur when selecting investment accounts that only had a placeholder without any real transactions.
  • FIXED Fixed a crash that would occur when hovering over the cash flow chart under Projected Balances view in an account with a zero balance.

Version 5.2.2(11/2017)

  • FIXEDFixed an issue where 2017 files stored in a location such as Documents wouldn't be automatically found after upgrading and instead Quicken would offer to open an old 2016 or 2015 file. If one didn't notice this, it could result in opening an old file giving the impression that data was lost. This doesn't happen if the file was stored in the default Quicken location under Library/Application Support.
  • FIXEDFixed one of the top crashing issues that could occur when switching from an investment account to another account and running on macOS El Capitan 10.11.

Version 5.2.1

  • FIXED Fixed a crash that could occur after upgrading if there were Add Share investment transactions without a security.
