Go to
Accounts&Bills-> Categories&Payees-> Payees-> PreferredPayeeNames
[M05/6]Banking-> AccountTools-> Categories&Payees-> Payees-> PreferredPayeeNames
which shows how downloaded names are translated into Payees.
Record the Payee Name Variation(s) shown for that payee. Delete
the entries that are not necessarily that payee.

Then click on GoToPayeeRulesManager. Excluded Payee Names
identifies words and phrases that should be ignored from the payee
field (e.g., check, deposit). Add each word or phrase that were
listed as a Payee Name Variation that you recorded.

While you are at it, it is usually a good idea to select
Tools-> Options-> OnlineServices-> ReplacePayeeNames....
[M05/6]Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServices-> ReplacePayeeNames....

You may want to set
Tools-> Options-> OnlineServices-> AddADescriptionToTheMemoField
[M05/6]Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServices-> AddADescriptionToTheMemoField

To further this question when I download my bank statement Money does not
pick up who the merchant is, it just says withdrawal, so I have to go back
and cross check the merchant and type in myself. I checked with my bank and
they said check with Money of course.

Money is not remembering most my payee and also thinks all checks I written
to the same payee. Is this money or my bank creating this problem?
