As a credit union, Healthcare Financial Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative financial institution. Like all credit unions, we are formed to allow those in our field of membership to pool their savings, lend them to one another, and own this organization where they save, borrow, and receive related financial services. Our membership is united by a common bond and includes employees of any organization that maintains an affiliate relationship with Healthcare Financial Credit Union, along with their family members. Our members also democratically operate the credit union under a State of Connecticut charter.

How We Are Different

There are differences between a credit union and other financial institutions. Your credit union features: 

• Open and voluntary membership for the following fields of membership:
  1. Employees, independent contractors, or self-employed persons who work    regularly in the Health Care Industry in the state of Connecticut;
  2. Persons who live, work, attend school or worship in New Haven, Middlesex, and Fairfield Counties;
  3. Spouses of persons who died while within the credit union’s field of membership;
  4. Employees of the credit union;
  5. Persons retired as pensioners or annuitants from employment listed in item 1;
  6. Members of the immediate family or household listed in items 1 and 2; and
  7. Organizations of persons and members included in items 1 and 2.
• Democratic control because every member in good standing is an owner as well as a voting member. 
• Outstanding member service, we focus on helping people. Not-for-profit status, earnings go back to members in the form of higher dividends, lower loan rates, fewer and lower fees, and products and services that count.
• Building financial stability, because your future is our future. The international credit union philosophy of "People Helping People" extends to social responsibility and the ongoing education of members to help achieve their financial security now and for the future. Our ongoing commitment to cooperative principles translates into better service and better rates than what our for-profit counterparts offer.

Credit union deposits in federally insured credit unions are safe and secure.

Federally insured credit unions offer a safe place for credit union members to save money. These deposits are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and insured up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor – the same as any other federally insured financial institution.

Credit union members have never lost a penny of insured savings at a federally insured credit union.
