Artlifting & HUECUCelebrating 75 Years

S U M M E R 2 0 1 4

Harvard University Employees Credit Union

is celebrating our 75th anniversary! HUECU

was founded on June 26, 1939, when

Harvard University employees banded

together to create equal access to quality

financial services within our community.

We are excited to celebrate this milestone

with members and friends throughout

the communities we serve. While our

founders wouldn’t recognize many of the

ways we interact with our members today,

the cooperative principles that they first

established are as strong as ever.

Things were a bit different in 1939. The

limit for unsecured loans was set at $50. At

the end of that year, we had a total of 547

members and our assets equaled a mere

$8,446.29. Fast forward 75 years later, we

now have assets in excess of $450 million

and offer over 50 financial products and

services to over 42,000 members.

To all our valued members, our sincerest

thanks for your support over the years, and

for making HUECU such a special place. We

look forward to working with you for many

years to come and are excited to find out

what the next 75 will bring! Learn more at

Harvard University Employees Credit

Union & Artlifting have formed a

partnership to display art produced by

the homeless and disabled community of

Greater Boston. HUECU’s flagship branch

in Harvard Square is currently displaying

artwork from Artlifting until the end of the

summer.

Artlifitng is a social enterprise that

empowers individuals who are in art

groups at hospitals and shelters by selling

their artwork. Read more at huecu.org
