You may visit one of our branches or call the credit union at 520-794-8341 to place an order for the check copy(ies). Depending on the amount of research needed to complete your request, you may be charged fees – typically $3.00 per check and research fees are $15.00 per hour.

How do Overdrawn / Overdraft services work?

If you write a check, use your debit card, or have an electronic withdrawal (ACH) overdraw your account, Overdrawn Protection will automatically transfer money from your Main Share Savings to your Checking PLUS or Checking account. This service is free to use.

If you don't have enough money to cover your transaction with any of your Overdrawn Protection accounts, that’s when Overdraft Privilege kicks in – available for Checking PLUS and Checking Accounts. That means Hughes will pay the item for you, saving you the embarrassment and inconvenience of bouncing a check, missing your loan payment, or not being able to pay for your meal. There is a $30 fee for each transaction paid with Overdraft Privilege.

Overdraft Privilege covers checks and electronic withdrawal (ACH) transactions. You can also opt in to extend your Overdraft Privilege to cover ATM and one-time debit card transactions as well by visiting a branch near you or calling us at 520-794-8341.

NOTE: Checking PLUS accounts come with up to $750 Overdraft Privilege and Checking accounts come with up to $600 (including fees). Payment by Hughes is a discretionary courtesy and not a right of the account holder or an obligation of Hughes. Some restrictions apply.

Bill Pay FAQs

What is Bill Center?

Bill Center is a new way to view, manage, pay, and track your monthly financial obligations. This innovative platform offers a comprehensive view of your bills and payment activity, similar to what you would experience when paying directly at your billers’ websites.

What types of billers can I add?

Bill Center offers connections to thousands of billers, including utility companies, credit card companies, insurers, telecoms, cable companies, service providers and more. The intuitive search delivers a similar experience to top search engines, helping you quickly find your particular billers.

How do I link to my account?

That’s easy! Because Bill Center is already linked to thousands of billers, all you need is to add your account number for that particular biller. In some instances, additional information such as your zip code may be needed.

What if one of my billers is not in the directory?

Bill Center allows you to manually enter billers and those you pay, including gig workers like babysitters, contractors and landscapers. You simply input their details within the Bill Center prompts and you’re set!

What payment methods can I use?

Bill Center allows you to pay through your Hughes Checking Account.

Can I set up automatic and recurring payments?

Absolutely! Autopay can be enabled for all eBills offered by your linked billers. When you receive an eBill, it is automatically paid through your checking or savings account. For billers not offering eBills, you can set recurring payments to ensure bills are paid on time, every time.

How will I know my bills are paid?

Bill Center offers instant confirmations so you will know immediately that your payment has been processed and posted. These notifications can be sent to your email or mobile device, whichever you prefer.

How long does it take for mailed payments to be received?

If a biller is not set up for electronic payments, the estimated delivery date for mailed checks is 7 business days. Please Note: While we provide estimated delivery dates for checks, there is always a possibility that a check could be delivered sooner than the date provided.
