Learn About HRCU

Holy Rosary Credit Union is a state chartered and federally insured community credit union. We have been serving the people of New Hampshire since 1962.

Holy Rosary Credit Union was founded by a small group of parishioners of Holy Rosary Church in Rochester, New Hampshire. This group was formed to provide assistance and advice to people who otherwise would not have easy access by traditional means. Over the years we have grown into a full-service community credit union. We take pride in having added the most convenient and up-to-date services without losing the compassion and personalized service that is responsible for our growth and the loyalty of our membership. We know that we have made a difference in people's lives.

Our Vision
HRCU will be a leader in facilitating financial success & financial wellness as a convenient and trusted partner.

Our Mission
HRCU is a responsible, community-focused organization members can trust to help them achieve their financial goals by demonstrating compassion, embracing innovation, remaining flexible and delivering exceptional service.

A message from HRCU's President & CEO, Brian Hughes

I am proud to say 2017 was another very strong and successful year for HRCU. Once again, furthering our mission by focusing on our community. We are excited about the improvements we made available to our members in 2017 and hope you are too. HRCU Live, our interactive video teller platform; Mobile Wallet; and an updated Mobile App all made their debut this past year to strong reviews, further acknowledging our commitment to deliver the latest technology to our members.

Along with technology, we remain committed to bringing you the very best in member services. In February, we opened our renovated Dover branch after an extensive redesign to bring the look and feel of our Brock street office to that location. We are now proud to have dialogue banking in both Rochester and Dover, offering enhanced service to our members. Additionally, Dover became the site for our first HRCU Live video teller. This allowed HRCU to extend the hours that a live teller is available and to improve efficiencies, now that the Rochester call center handles our HRCU Live network. Through video chat with a live teller, this machine allows almost all transactions to be done remotely. Early in 2018, we will be able to offer this same convenience at our newly renovated kiosk at Weeks Crossing in Dover.

HRCU remains financially strong to meet our members’ needs and help them achieve their goals. 2017 was a very successful year. Asset and loan growth remain very strong, as well as our member growth rate being one of the strongest in the state. We are pleased to report to our members that financially HRCU has never been in a better position. We have been able to maintain our robust financial performance by not raising our fees. In fact, our fees continue to be the lowest of nearly any financial institution in NH, while offering some of the most competitive deposit and loan rates available. At HRCU, we truly strive on a daily basis, to maintain the credit union philosophy as a not-for-profit cooperative, passing real savings onto our members.

2017 was a great year of serving our community, an important part of our mission. Our 4th annual Christmas Caring Campaign was another big success. Since it began, we have donated over $100,000 to local charitable organizations. We also were very instrumental in bringing the Rochester Performance and Arts Center (RPAC) to downtown Rochester. Partnering with the Rochester Opera House, along with the vision of their board and our HRCU board, we worked together to jumpstart and fuel the revitalization of downtown Rochester. RPAC is off to a great start.

2018 will be another exciting year for HRCU as we look to roll out an updated HRCU.org website and other conveniences to our members. Additionally we are thrilled to be expanding our youth financial education and offering new programs, including Junior Achievement, to more local schools. Technology will also be at the core of new products and services we will offer to our members in 2018. We will never stop working to ensure that HRCU provides the latest conveniences in banking available to our membership through reliable and secure delivery channels. No matter how much growth we see, we will always remain focused on our mission of providing unmatched service to our community.
