Expedited payments are sent 2-day delivery. Typically, there is a fee associated with expediting payments, but for a short time, this fee will be waived. To send an expedited payment, use the following steps:

  • Click on "Manage Billers".
  • Expedited payments are only accessible through this option.
  • Click "Pay" on a biller that is not set up as electronic.
  • You can determine if the biller is electronic or not by looking to the left of the "Pay" button. If there is an "E" in a circle, then it is electronic. If there is a check icon, then it is not.
  • Select the Hughes account that funds will be sent from and click "Pay Date & Amount"
  • Enter in the amount to pay in the "Amount to Pay" field.
  • Select "Expedited Payment" from "When to Pay".
  • Here you will see the $0.00 fee for the expedited payment and have access to the expedited payment details screen.
  • Click on "Notifications" and select desired options.
  • Click on "Payment Confirmation" and then "Submit Payment".

NOTE: Expedited payments cannot be used when the payee/biller's address is a PO Box.

Check Account Numbers and Addresses: Please compare the account numbers and addresses for each of your billers in the new Bill Pay center with those listed on your most current statements. Accurate information is essential for electronic payments.
