What payment methods do you accept?

HHC is committed to a highly efficient process for routine supplier payments. Our goal is to digitize our accounts payables process, reducing fraud with streamlined and faster payments. 

Virtual Card – This is our preferred payment method. We invite suppliers to enroll in this corporate initiative available through the Wex Payment Network—our partner and a leading payment solutions provider. We prefer to issue single-use virtual cards due to their efficiency, data reconciliation, and most importantly, built-in security features for enhanced protection. 

Electronic Payment Method – In the event you are unable to enroll in a virtual card, we advise you to select Electronic Payment as a payment method. Not only is this a low-cost option, but it protects you from fraudulent activity normally associated with checks. 

Wire Transfer – We currently only accept wires for vendors that do not have a bank located in the U.S. 

Check – Check payments are only accepted if no other payment method is accepted. Checks payments are normally associated but not limited to the risks below: 

  • Mail delay or lost checks – Example: The postal service may have delayed deliveries due to bad weather. 
  • Mail fraud – Example: A “bad-actor” can intercept your payment and delay your receipt of funds. 

If you have any questions regarding the various payment methods, please contact HHC Treasury team. 

What should I do if I encounter issues using the portals or need assistance?

Contact HHC Vendor Management for assistance. 

Please include as much detail as possible (screenshots, error messages, and specific invoice or PO numbers) to help us resolve your issue efficiently.
