On May 29, 2018, HUECU was awarded the America Saves Designation of Saving Excellence. The award is presented annually to financial institutions that make extraordinary efforts to encourage saving during America Saves Week/Military Saves Week and succeeded in encouraging customers and to open and add to wealth-building accounts.
“At a time when just two in five American households report making good or excellent savings progress, Harvard University Employees Credit Union went above and beyond to encourage and support its community to save,” said George Barany, America Saves Director. “This year’s designees are the leaders in their field at responding to the savings crisis by working directly with American families to open and add to savings accounts. Harvard University Employees Credit Union doesn’t just tell people why it’s important to save, it helps them do it.”
