VSECU, a credit union for everybody in Vermont, was recently recognized and received the prestigious 2014 Community Credit Union of the Year Award from the Credit Union National Association. VSECU, based in Montpelier, was one of four credit unions, among the 2,200 community credit unions serving members in the nation, honored during an awards presentation held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Credit unions selected to receive the award demonstrate exemplary displays of credit union principles and service.

“Members are always first at VSECU with a focus on Vermont values of integrity, hard work, protecting the environment, independence and equality. This award reflects how our credit union brings real value to Vermonters and our Vermont communities above and beyond that of being a provider of financial services,” said Miller.
