About Us

Established June 2, 1955, Hartford Hospital Employees Credit Union, renamed Hartford Healthcare Credit Union in 1993, and Hartford Healthcare Federal Credit Union in 2006, began during a time of optimism and growth. As part of the growth, the credit union gave hard-working people employed at the hospital an opportunity to control their financial lives and plan for their future. Since then, our guiding principle has been to provide products that allow members to manage their finances, while delivering exceptional service.

We are a not-for-profit, financial institution, with a volunteer board of directors, and our members are owners not just customers, and each member has a vote. Our profits are re-invested in our members in the form of lower rates on loans and lower fees on products and services.

In 2018, we changed our name from Hartford Healthcare Federal Credit Union to Wellness Federal Credit Union. Our new name was representative of our 2016 Charter change expanding our field of membership to all employees, independent contractors, or self-employed persons who work regularly in the health care industry throughout the State of Connecticut.    

Today, we offer a comprehensive list of products and services including, checking with debit card, online banking, mobile app, mobile check deposit, bill pay, secure message communication, secure file upload, and so much more.

We are dedicated to encouraging overall financial well-being and strive to bring value to every member.  Our focus is built on safety and soundness. We are financially stable and we continuously invest in products and services that ensure member funds and data are secure. Additionally, member deposits are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration.
