This is extremely confusing for customers and our advice is make sure that your bank supports Direct Connect Bill Pay before upgrading because Quicken Bill Pay simply won’t work with it. Quite why Intuit decided to not include this essential feature in Quicken 2016 is a mystery but a good example of why Mac users are continually frustrated with the way Intuit does business on OS X. Quicken 2007 for Mac does not officially support anything higher than OS X Lion and Intuit don’t even sell it anymore although you can buy it from resellers on Amazon still. If you’re thinking that you’ll just buy Quicken 2007 instead then, you’re out of luck. Direct Connect Bill Pay is a completely different service to Quicken Bill Pay which only works in Quicken 2007 for Mac and the Windows version of Quicken. Note that confusingly, Quicken 2016 for Mac does not support Quicken Bill Pay for direct bill payments from your account. Intuit don’t seem to have provided any official list of banks that work with Direct Connect on Mac so you have to contact your bank in order to check whether it’s supported or not. Of course, this is still limited to banks that support Direct Connect Bill Pay and as many Quicken users will tell you on Mac, it doesn’t sometimes work as well as it should. 8 years after it first appeared in Quicken 2007 for Mac only for Intuit to bizarrely Kill Bill (Pay) in Quicken 2015 last year, Quicken 2016 now supports Direct Connect Bill Pay from over 450 banks and it also allows you to transfer funds between accounts at the same financial institution. You might have guessed it from the headline but the big addition to Quicken For Mac 2016 is finally – yes finally – Bill Pay online payments.
The big question is, does this final throw of the dice by Intuit disappoint as much Quicken 2015 or has Intuit finally made peace with Mac users? We took a closer look and reviewed Quicken 2016 on Mac although the results were quite disappointing and we’re recommending switching to one of these alternatives to Quicken on Mac. And this is probably the last ever version we’ll see from Intuit because In March 2016, the company announced that it has sold Quicken to private investment firm HIG Capital.

If you go to the developers web site you can usually download a trial version and they will also import your quicken essentials backups. You may try some of the apps in the app store. If you purchae quicken from it was cheaper. I believe if you download from they give a money back guarantee. I see now that quicken has come out with quicken 2017.
There is not going to be a newer version of quicken essentials, quicken 2016 was it at the time. It gave me a prompt to open a backup of quicken on my computer, I chose my quicken essentials backup and all my information was imported into quicken 2016.

Revert back to my old operating system ( i didn't want to), Download a financial app from the app store to replace quicken essentials (i downloaded and tried a couple, didn't like them) or upgrade to quicken 2016. After the upgrade to Sierra, my quicken essentials was a brick. I was using quicken essentials before upgrading to Sierra. Andres, I am sorry you did not find my post helpful.
