How can I make a distribution to a partner directly to their bank account without a check?

Hi, @alex-gotthelf.

You can use the Bill Pay feature to make distributions directly to your partner's bank account electronically. To do this, make sure to set them up as a vendor first. Also, note that ACH transfers generally take 3-5 business days to be processed.

There is no limit to the number of electronic payments you can make each month in QuickBooks Online, as payments up to $25,000 each do not count toward your monthly ACH transaction limit in your Bill Pay subscription.

First, ensure your partner is set up as a vendor.

Here's how:
 

1. On the dashboard, navigate to Expense & Pay Bills.
2. Select Vendors.
3. Click New vendor.
4. Fill in the necessary details.
5. Click Save.

Afterward, create a bill manually for your partner in the Vendors section. When you're ready to make a distribution, you can schedule the payment through QuickBooks Bill Pay.
