I am still wrestling with the automatic update function with the banks. I took advantage of the update to set a password on my file, so that if it somehow got into the wrong hands it would take a little work to be able to get the data out of it. The reminders are now marked with a clock to show that they are coming soon.Īnother interesting feature (that is not new in this release) is the ability to attach images (like scanned receipts and such) to a transaction, thus you are able to track those things and can produce the receipt if requested (as well). I “look ahead” at the reminders I have at least a month ahead to remind me of the bills that I have set up as reminders in Quicken (a very useful function). I also like that they have added an ability to “look forward” in your spending, for an extended period, using the Show Reminders function (it’s a little alarm clock in the upper right corner). The fact that a TFSA is an account type is very useful as well, although I suspect this was in Quicken 2012 as well. These are all useful things for investing folks (like me) to help with tracking their investments.

Investment Transactions report now displays a shares subtotal.

A projected account balances graph that shows you how much money you have left after upcoming bills and income.

Lets you review and work with transactions from your spending, asset and liability accounts with the All Transactions register.

Helps you choose the TFSA account type when setting up an investment account.

The official website says the following features are useful:

The other missing feature from the American version is a free credit score check.Īfter my initial sadness about these missing features, I did go on to find Quicken 2015 Canadian Edition did have some useful new tools for me. I keep hearing rumors that the Canadian version of Quicken may be discontinued and this doesn’t help give me a warm fuzzy on the topic. I didn’t get a “boxed” version of the software, so I have had to do some sleuthing to find out what is new with Quicken 2015 Canadian Edition, but the first thing I noticed is that in the US Version there is a feature called, Portfolio X-ray, and it does not appear to be included in the Canadian version.

This always worries the hell out of me, so it would be very prudent to make sure that you do a full back up of your Quicken files before you do the upgrade. It was interesting that Intuit seems to have changed their file formats so the first thing that the install does (after removing the old version of Quicken) is convert your data files to a new format. I should use the business functions more, and if I do that I will have a separate review of that functionality. I am using the full blow Quicken Home & Business, so this is the full-blown version (of Quicken 2015 Canadian Edition).
