By whatever name, it can be made to work as an automatic part of your Online
Update. As others have mentioned, you will have to disable online updates
on your Waco card, then re-enable and select the right Wells Fargo FI. For
me it will not do the same Direct Connect I had with Wachovia, but the
difference is practically indistinguishable. What is not indistinguishable
is the contortion I must now go through to make an online payment from my
Wachovia Checking account to my "Wells Fargo" Visa card. Instead of a
simple Quicken transfer, I must not open a browser window, log on to
Wachovia, link to Wells Fargo, log on there, then open the Visa account,
select "Transfer" from another FI, and finally get the option to select from
a pull down list the various sources still at Wachovia and then select the
new WF Visa in the transfer to drop down. Along the way it never feels like
a designed path, rather more like an accidental capability that could close
at any time. Neither do I receive any sort of confirmation number I might
refer to later in case of a disputed payment date.

Bank merger letters always start out assuring that you will lose no
capability you were used to, then leave it to the customer to find all the
exceptions to the original assurance.

Good luck, I assume they will move checking and savings accounts as well as
HLOC and mortgages individually too over the next 12-18 months .

Hmm. I use Online Billpay. I just created a new Online Payee specifying
the name and address on my WF Visa statement and told Quicken to tell
Wachovia to pay it -- just like it pays my phone bill, CCTV, electric bill,
taxes etc etc.
