Wright-Patt Credit Union added 50 jobs in 2012 and plans to add another 68 this year, President and Chief Executive Officer Doug Fecher said.

Most of the people the credit union hired last year were related to mortgage banking. It was a record year for the Greene County credit union, Ohio’s largest credit union, in terms of overall profits and in terms of the volume of mortgage refinances and home purchases.

Credit unions are nonprofit financial cooperatives, which means profits are invested back in the business.

Some of the jump in business for the credit union comes for the mortgage company it owns. myCUmortgage is a back office mortgage processing business the credit union owns that serves other credit unions.

Much of this year’s hiring is sparked by the credit union’s new video teller technology. Wright-Patt is introducing new personal teller machines, ATMs with video capabilities that allow customers to interact directly with remote tellers, at newly built branches opening soon in Springfield and Springboro.

The tellers will physically be housed at a centralized office at the credit union’s Fairborn headquarters, which allows the credit union to have tellers working in multiple branches virtually at once, Fecher said.

In addition to these centralized teller positions, the jobs Wright-Patt plans to add this year include jobs in information technology and mortgage, Fecher said. As it is, Wright-Patt Credit Union has a total 540 full-time equivalent employees.

The nonprofit credit union has 24 branch offices and has grown to $2.5 billion in assets with more than 240,000 members.
