Recognized for Excellence: Dutch Point Takes the Top Spot!
Dutch Point Credit Union, founded in 1960 and one of the state’s largest credit unions, is honored to have once again been named the state’s top credit union by the Hartford Courant’s “Best of Hartford” readers poll. Dutch Point also won the award in 2025, and this year received the second most votes of all winners across dozens of Connecticut industries.
Dutch Point has six branches in Connecticut—Wethersfield, Newington, Bloomfield, Berlin, Middletown and Niantic—and in 2025 experienced the largest asset growth of any major credit union in the state. It serves more than 24,000 members and has been in business since 1960.
Charlyn Tanner, President and CEO of Dutch Point Credit Union, attributed this latest victory to its unbending commitment to its members and the communities it serves.
“We make it a priority at Dutch Point to truly weave ourselves into the fabric of the communities where our members live, work and play; since our inception 66 years ago, we have always placed member needs and the needs of our surrounding communities first and foremost. We are honored to be recognized once more by Hartford Courant readers for living into that commitment every day,” Ms. Tanner said. “People want modern, accessible banking options, personalized service and a steady hand to guide them through every major point in their lives, and that is the reason we are here. I wish to thank everyone who voted for us this year, and we look forward to hopefully winning again in 2027.”
