An effort by the $1.8 billion HarborOne Credit Union to serve underserved and immigrant communities has won the 2010 Herb Wegner Award for Outstanding Organization from the National Credit Union Foundation.

The credit union's Multicultural Banking Center serves as a financial gateway where thousands of immigrants learn to achieve the American dream, the NCUF said when announcing the award.

"Immigrants who settle in Massachusetts are fortunate to have a caring organization like HarborOne Credit Union's MultiCultural Center," affirmed NCUF Awards and Recognition Committee Chairman Bob Schumacher, CEO of MountainCrest Credit Union in Arlington, Wash. "The center has become a national model to deliver critical human services needed for credit unions to reach new immigrants in order to build trusting financial relationships."
