Dutch Point Credit Union

💰 The best time to teach money skills? Before they're needed.

This week on Hello Connecticut, we talked about why financial literacy starts long before adulthood — and how small lessons around saving, spending, budgeting, and responsible financial decisions can help build confidence for life.

With Connecticut introducing a new financial literacy graduation requirement, it's an exciting time to see more focus being placed on preparing the next generation for financial success.

Because financial confidence isn't built overnight. It's built one conversation, one lesson, and one smart decision at a time.

A Point in Time to Reflect.

In observance of Juneteenth, our branches will be closed on Friday, June 19. You can still take care of your everyday banking through Digital Banking or by visiting one of our 24/7 Express Banking Hubs for quick, convenient service.

As we recognize this important day in our nation's history, we reflect on the enduring values of freedom, opportunity, and progress.

We reflect. We remember. We move forward together.

⛳ A perfect day on the course. An even better cause.

We were proud to represent Dutch Point at this year's Connecticut's Credit Unions CUBFI Golf Tournament, joining credit unions from across Connecticut in support of a mission that helps people build stronger financial futures.

The day was filled with great conversations, meaningful connections, and a shared commitment to making a difference in the communities we serve.

Because when credit unions come together, the impact reaches far beyond the fairway.

And that's a point worth celebrating. 💙

💰 Financial confidence doesn’t start when young adults leave for college — it starts much earlier.

This week on FOX61, Charlyn and Shannon talked about why building strong money habits from a young age matters — from budgeting and saving to responsible spending and understanding how money works in everyday life.

With Connecticut introducing a new financial literacy requirement for high school students this coming school year, there’s growing momentum around preparing young people for smarter financial decisions. But some of the most important lessons still begin at home — through everyday conversations, real-life experiences, and helping kids build confidence over time.

Because when it comes to money, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s preparation.

🎉 We made the point. AGAIN.

Dutch Point Credit Union has been voted Best Credit Union in the 2026 Best of Hartford Readers’ Poll — for the second year in a row! 💙🧡

And this year, the love went even further: out of every nominee, in every category, across the entire Best of Hartford program, Dutch Point received the second highest number of votes overall.

That’s more than an award. That’s community. That’s trust. That’s what happens when people believe in the point we’re making together.

To our members, our team, and everyone who voted: thank you. We’re proud, grateful, and more energized than ever to keep showing up for the people and communities we serve.

Best Credit Union. Two years running. Thanks to you. 🎉

Money habits start earlier than we think — and the conversations we have today can shape financial confidence for years to come.

We recently joined WTIC News/Talk 1080’s Brian & Company to talk about financial literacy, the importance of teaching smart money habits early, and why guidance matters at every stage of life.

Because financial literacy isn’t just about dollars and cents. It’s about building confidence, creating opportunity, and helping people feel ready for whatever comes next.

At Dutch Point, we believe better conversations lead to better decisions — one more way we’re helping people make every point count. 💙

Community is more than where we work — it’s where we show up. 💙

May kept our team moving, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

From connecting with employees at the annual Eversource Rodeo, to supporting local participants at the Granby-Simsbury Chamber Golf Tournament, to cheering on runners at the Newington Lucy Robbins Welles 5K Road Race — we spent the month out in the communities we’re proud to serve.

Every conversation, every event, every connection matters. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and spent a little time with us along the way.

Here’s a look back at a busy (and fun!) month in the community. 📸
