Our sister banks, Meredith Village Savings Bank & Merrimack County Savings Bank

For nearly 150 years, Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) has been serving the people, businesses, non-profits and municipalities of Central NH. Since 1867, Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) has been serving the people, businesses, non-profits, and municipalities of the greater Concord and Nashua.

In January of 2013, they finalized a formal alliance as partners in the newly formed holding company, New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp.

Samuel L. Laverack, President and CEO of Meredith Village Savings Bank, and Paul C. Rizzi, Jr., President and CEO of Merrimack County Savings Bank, served as co-CEOs of New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp, the first multi-bank mutual holding company in the state, until Rizzi’s retirement in 2015. As part of the alliance, each affiliate bank has retained its name and state charter, and each bank’s board of directors and senior management continues to oversee the operations of their respective banks.

Both organizations share a common goal to build a vigorous alliance between the two well-capitalized, healthy, independent community banks. This alliance enhances each bank’s ability to better serve its customers and communities and to maintain each bank’s status as a sound, stable, independent institution as the banking industry faces new challenges and continues to consolidate in an era of rapidly expanding technology and regulatory pressures.

The management and board of directors of each institution are committed to maintaining each bank’s status as an independent community bank and its mutual form of ownership. Both banks share a firm belief that a mutual form of ownership clearly serves bank customers and communities best. A mutual holding company has no stockholders, which allows it to invest its profits more conservatively for long-term sustainability and sound growth. In addition, decision-making can be based on the longer-term benefits to the community, customers, and employees as opposed to the immediate needs of stockholders and the market.

Through the holding company, the two affiliate banks are in a position to optimize the strengths and competitive advantages of each organization and to grow market share in their distinctive markets. With combined resources, the overall company will better position each affiliate bank to serve its customers with significantly greater loan capacity and leading-edge products and services and to implement enhanced technology-based delivery systems.
