Hanscom Air Force Base-based Hanscom Federal Credit Union member-owners will receive a 1 percent bonus on dividends earned and most consumer loan finance charges paid in 2013.

"We are able to give this extra payment when reserves and capital are determined to be in excess of what is necessary to protect member accounts," chairman of the board Paul Marotta said in a statement. "We feel it’s important to give back to the members. Without member loyalty, we would not be able to offer such a high level of service and quality."

This is the 17th consecutive year Hanscom FCU has paid dividends on member earnings and consumer loan interest payments.
