HUECU Is Now Harvard Federal Credit Union

Harvard University Employees Credit Union (HUECU) recently announced that it has changed its name to Harvard Federal Credit Union, effective June 3, 2024. This name change coincides with their conversion from a Massachusetts state charter to a federal charter.  The not-for-profit financial institution, with more than 55,000 members and assets exceeding $1.2 billion, approved the change through a membership vote held in March of this year. 

“More than 85 years ago, our founders had the vision of a credit union owned by our members that would serve the needs of Harvard University employees, particularly those who lacked access to financial services,” said Craig Leonard, President and CEO of Harvard Federal Credit Union. “Today, we bring these services to a growing group of members, including students, faculty, alumni, and staff of Harvard and Lesley Universities and employees of many of the teaching hospitals in greater Boston. Our new name, Harvard Federal Credit Union, conveys our proud history and our intention to bring the benefits of membership to more underserved groups across the region. With this name change, we recommit ourselves to helping all our members build a strong financial future, so that they can make a bigger impact in life.”

Harvard Federal Credit Union offers an array of financial products and services designed to help members navigate life’s milestones, whether it’s purchasing a first home, saving for education, or planning for retirement. The Credit Union’s ethos revolves around member empowerment and financial literacy, with a portion of profits reinvested into community initiatives, financial education programs, and charitable endeavors.
