Harleysville Savings Financial Corporation (OTCQX:HARL) reported today that the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.22 per share on the Company’s common stock. This represents an increase of 4.76% from the previous dividend. The cash dividend will be payable on February 22, 2017 to stockholders of record on February 8, 2017.

Commenting on the quarter-end operating results, Chief Executive Officer Ron Geib stated, “Based on the solid financial results of the quarter and our belief that we are well positioned for the future, we are pleased that we are able to create additional value for our stockholders by increasing the cash dividend to $.22 per share.
