Credit Union News

Summer has finally arrived! And after this past year I am sure many of you are excited for warm weather, relaxing days on the lake, long road trips, camping under the stars and other summer fun activities.

Warmer weather is in the air, vaccines are being distributed, and many businesses are opening back up. It’s beginning to look like a beautiful Spring for 2021!

2020 marked the 75th Anniversary of GSCU, and the credit union had plans to celebrate throughout the year. But with the onset of the worldwide pandemic, the credit union was faced with unprecedented challenges. A comprehensive business contingency plan, already in place, allowed GSCU to swiftly shift to a pandemic business-model. This ensured we could continue to keep branches open and serve our member’s financial needs.

I know many us of are thankful for 2020 to have come to an end and are looking forward to better days ahead in 2021.

Dear Members:

I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we experience extraordinarily high demand for teller and call center services. We are aware wait times are longer than are typical of GSCU and continue to do our best to respond to your needs as quickly as we possibly can. I personally ask for your patience as you interact with our employees who are doing the best they can to meet your needs for information and cash access.

We’re heading into the final few months of 2020 and as the cold, snow, and holidays arrive, I am thankful to be looking back on everything 2020 has brought us.

During 2019, the credit union grew more than $14 million in member deposits, with nearly $6 million going into checking accounts as more and more NH residents and families selected Granite State Credit Union for their basic banking needs.

With a natural disaster, or any national crisis, many feel an urgency for cash on hand in case of emergency. Banks and credit unions are realizing the pressure members are feeling with increased visits, cash withdrawals, and questions.
