The Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA) conducted its 2019 Annual Meeting last week during which the board’s gavel of leadership was passed to a new chairman, Ronald Covey, Jr., president/CEO of St. Mary’s Bank in Manchester, New Hampshire.

For the third year in a row, St. Mary’s Bank has been named “A Best Credit Union to Work For” by Credit Union Journal, a distinction staff say underscores its century-old mission.

You may have heard on the news about the recent settlement over the Equifax breach of September 2017 that exposed 147 million people’s private information. If you were affected by this breach (e.g. bought credit monitoring, paid for credit freezes, took time to resolve ID theft, etc.) you may be eligible for 4 years of free monitoring or if you already had monitoring in place for the next 6 months, you may be eligible for up to $125 payment.

“It was no surprise to see St. Mary’s Bank as one of our first contributors,” said Diane Fitzpatrick, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester. “They have been a long-time friend and valuable partner of the Club. In addition to financial support, they have helped guide us through our renovation and have taught our kids financial literacy.”

“We are grateful to all who voted for us,” said Ron Covey, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Bank. “Your public support speaks volumes, and we take your confidence in us seriously. It means we are doing what we set out to do - put members first. We will continue to work hard to honor your vote and your business.”
