Harleysville 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. The cash dividend will be payable on August 16, 2017 to stockholders of record on August 2, 2017.

Net income for the third quarter was $1,388,000 or $.36 per diluted share compared to $1,369,000 or $.36 per diluted share for the same quarter last year.
