St. Mary's Bank, the nation's first credit union, is launching a 13-week television campaign this week designed to raise awareness of its mortgage lending options. The credit union has recently opened a new Mortgage Center, where consumers can apply for a mortgage in minutes using the method that works best for them, whether it's online, by phone or in person at any of St. Mary's branches. In most cases, applicants receive approval in less than two minutes, the credit union said. TV ads, with radio spots providing support beginning in May, will appear in Manchester, Nashua and Concord.
