The branch replaces the 2900 Main St. location of Housatonic Teachers Financial Credit Union, which merged with Nutmeg State FCU last year. The Stratford location is the ninth branch for Nutmeg, which was chartered in 1936 and is headquartered in Rocky Hill. The credit union has branches in Hartford, New Haven, Middlesex and Tolland counties.

“We are excited to continue growing within state,” said John Holt, president and CEO of Nutmeg. “Even with all our technology, we recognize the need for physical, brick-and-mortar locations.”
