One hundred years after opening its doors for business, St. Mary's continues to support the communities it serves and offer affordable financial products and services for all members. We are committed to the credit union philosophy of "people helping people." We dedicate resources to the communities we serve and provide opportunities for individuals and families, especially those of modest means, so that all may improve the quality of their lives.

In the past several months St. Mary's introduced several new products and services to assist current and new members:

Home Loan Payment Relief (HLPR): HLPR is a new mortgage program that assists low- to moderate-income members with homeownership. The HLPR mortgage program makes it easier for first-time homebuyers to buy and stay in their homes by reducing the monthly payments and the down payment requirement.

MyPay: MyPay is a short-term loan that provides borrowers with immediate access to cash with a reasonable interest rate. The low rate and flexible terms of MyPay are intended to help you cover unexpected expenses between paychecks.

Check Cashing for Non-Members: We provide check-cashing services to individuals who may not have a relationship with our financial institution. Checks accepted include government-issued checks, as well as payroll checks of well-established companies. There is a small fee for this service and proper identification and other information may be required.

St. Mary's Bank Medallion Fund: St. Mary's Bank established a Medallion Fund Scholarship Program to provide assistance to members pursuing a vocational or technical career. Funded by St. Mary's Bank, the program is administered by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation (NHCF). Awards may be applied toward tuition costs and related educational expenses. Applications can be found at any St. Mary's Bank location or visit us online at www.stmarysbank.com. For more information about the Medallion Fund Scholarship Program, call NHCF at 1.800.464.6641.
