BillPay & Expedited Payments
Need to make a payment faster?
Late payments can affect your credit or result in penalties, fees, service cancellations, and more. With our expedited payments service, you can make last-minute payments to anyone, anywhere in the continental United States, faster than ever before. In some cases, the payee will receive your payment the same business day, but typically receipt occurs within one business day.
How to Make an Expedited Payment
To make an expedited payment, just log in to NEFCUOnline, click BillPay, expand the Options for your payee, and then choose Expedited Payment from the menu. After your payment is submitted, a convenience fee of $4.95 for electronic payments and $24.95 for overnight checks will be applied.

You can pay almost any individual or company in the United States. Payments to payees outside of the United States are prohibited and may not be issued under any circumstances. In addition, the following payments are discouraged, but may be scheduled at your own risk:
- tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service or any state or other government agency
- court-ordered payments, such as alimony or child support
- payments to insurance companies
We will not notify you if you attempt to make any of these payments and we will not be liable if we do not make a prohibited or discouraged payment that you've scheduled.
- When will the payment I authorized be debited from my account?
If the payee is being paid via paper check, the amount is deducted from your account when the payee cashes the check. If the payee is being paid via an electronic payment, the amount is deducted from your account within three business days after the “Send On” date (it may be debited as early as the “Send On” date). - How are payments issued?
Payments are issued electronically or via paper checks, depending on the payee's capabilities. Both electronic payments and paper checks always include remittance information, ensuring that your payee can accurately record that a payment has been received for your account.
