Our History
In 1976 Health Center Credit
Union (HCCU), was chartered by the Georgia Department
of Banking and Finance. HCCU opened it's first office
in the Murphy Building at the Medical
College of Georgia. Branch Two was opened in 1987
at St. Joseph Hospital (now known as Trinity Hospital) and Branch Three followed that
same year at Augusta State University. With the addition
of the MCG Annex, South Augusta, and Evans Offices, we
now have 6 locations in Richmond and Columbia Counties
to serve our members from.
During this
time our products and services have grown as well. HCCU
implemented checking accounts, a 24 hour voice response
line for member inquires, Online Banking, Billpay, Money
Market accounts, Visa check cards, and we now have 4 ATM
locations.
The MCG Annex
houses a full service Mortgage Department to help members
finance their dream homes. We continually look for ways
in which we can offer our members services that will help
improve their financial lives.
Our Mission
To
provide competitive, friendly, convenient financial services
to the membership in a fiscally responsible manner.
Our Vision
To
insure quality service to every member. Make loans to
our members in an expeditious manner. Safeguard the financial
future of our members by continually educating them on
our products and services. To provide a challenging and
rewarding work environment that fosters teamwork and friendship
among the staff. And to maintain adequate earnings to
support our growth while paying competitive dividends
to our members.
What is a Credit
Union?
A
Credit Union is a not-for-profit member-owned financial
institution operating for the benefit of its membership.
Credit Unions pay higher dividends on savings and offer
reduced rates on loans to their members. Additional earnings
are redistributed to the members in the form of new products
and services. Each member must meet eligibility requirements
spelled out by the Credit Union's Charter to become a
member. The Board of Directors of the Credit Union is
elected from the general field of membership and are unpaid
for their service. |
