New Check Partner--Harland Clarke
Hughes members may notice something different when ordering checks. Our partner for check orders is now Harland Clarke. Harland Clarke has combined experience with Clarke American Corp. of more than 200 years providing checks and check-related products to credit unions for their members. Members can still
order checks online and will receive about 30 more checks per order. You'll still have a large variety of check designs to choose from. Packaging is getting smaller to save costs, so if you receive your checks in a flat package, be careful not to mistake them for something else. And, as always please proof read your checks for proper name spelling and address information.

Hughes Federal Credit Union has been notified of fraudulent text messages that are being sent to members requesting they text back their debit or credit card number, expiration date or PIN for verification. Please note: Hughes Federal Credit Union does not text our members, and we will not contact you to get this information on your account. If you feel you have been a victim of fraud, please contact the Credit Union (520) 794-8341 or (800) 253-8245. Thank you.
