Friday, May 29, 2020 Hours & Available Services Into June 2020
While New Hampshire slowly begins the process of moving into the "new normal", NHFCU is examining our way forward as well. We are committed to protecting our members and our employees from harm as we all work together to minimize the spread of COVID-19. We cannot begin to thank all of you enough for your willingness to work with us and remain patient as we do our best to keep everyone strong and healthy - both physically and financially.
At this time, we plan to continue our drive-up only service at our Airport Road, Concord, location with the following hours:
Airport Road Drive-Up
- Monday - 8 am - 5 pm
- Tuesday - Thursday - 9 am - 4 pm
- Friday - 8 am - 6 pm
- Saturday - 9 am - 12 Noon
Limiting these hours allows us to isolate and protect staff so we can continue to serve you.
Lee Office Hours and all other services from NHFCU:
As far as the rest of our services, you can call us for assistance for loans, opening accounts, and all other assistance as you always have - these regular hours have been maintained throughout this pandemic:
- Monday - Thursday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
- Friday - 8:30 am - 6:00 pm
- Saturday - 9 am - 12 Noon
For Lee, please follow the instructions we have provided at the office for serving you one member at a time. We have adapted how we deliver services to maintain social distancing guidelines while providing you what you need. We even developed our CU Curbside service for Airport Road - just call us for an appointment if you need face-to-face assistance! None of this is because we don't want to see you - it's because we want to make sure we will always be able to serve you.
As you know, we are a relatively small institution, working with a small number of locations and people - so, we are exercising as much caution as we can to make sure we do not have to disrupt our ability to serve.
Other Changes June 1
Beginning June 1, we will be reinstituting our non-sufficient funds fee for checking accounts if your account is overdrawn. However, the 6-transfer limit will remain LIFTED, meaning, transfers from your share savings account are only limited by your balance, and can protect you from those fees.
And if you are struggling with your loan payments or bills
If you have a loan in good standing with us and have been adversely affected by COVID-19, we are offering payment relief. Please contact us at (603)224-7731 to discuss your situation.
If you are struggling with bills or want to get a leg up on getting in better financial shape, talk to one of our financial wellness coaches - FREE - at our Centers for Finance & Education. We can assist you with reframing your budget, provide you guidance on working with creditors, and much, much, more. Call today at (603)224-7731, ext. 330. Or, just join us for one of our free webinars! Click here to see the schedule of upcoming classes.
April 29:
From the Federal Reserve: Share transfer limits for overdrafts are temporarily suspended as of April 29, 2020.
Another way to ease your mind - share transfer limits for overdrafts are temporarily suspended as of April 29, 2020.
According to the Federal Reserve, due to COVID-19, financial institutions may now suspend the federally-regulated automated transfer limits from savings accounts to checking accounts. Normally, only six transfers per month are allowed because of these regulations. For now, these electronic/automated transfers are unlimited. However, we urge you to pay close attention as we navigate through COVID-19. We anticipate that at some point, we will be required to reinstate these transfer limits. We will notify you as soon as we know.
4/22/2020 NHFCU is temporarily waiving share draft/checking fees - Expires May 31, 2020
NHFCU is giving back to you – Again!
NHFCU understands these are challenging financial times for many members and we want to help. As part of our COVID Relief Efforts, between April 22 and May 31, 2020, if you overdraw your share draft/checking account, NHFCU will waive the $25.00 fee.

- Fee is waived 4/22/20 – 5/31/20.
- Fee will still appear on your statement, but with a $0.00 amount.
- Your check will still be returned as non-sufficient funds. There is a possibility you will be charged a fee by the person the check/payment was meant for. HOWEVER, the NHFCU fee will be $0.00.

- Members will still receive a NSF notice and the $25.00 fee will be listed on the notice. HOWEVER, your member account history will reflect the $0.00 fee.
