Local bank recommendations

Laconia Savings Bank/Bank of New Hampshire is the best.
One free money order per day.

Meredith Village Savings Bank. Have account there too. Nice.
But pay for money order.
And when I needed 3 signatures for a will - they refused.

No problem with Bank of NH/Laconia Savings Bank.

I dumped Citizens Bank.
For checks I cash - they wrote my drivers license number AND Social Security Number on front of check. Apparently, they never heard of identity theft.
I was later advised by the NH president of Citizens that the SSN was not bank policy but the drivers license number must be on front of check cashed at Citizens Bank.

Fact note: From what I have read, MVSB is the richest savings bank in New Hampshire. Not important. Just interesting. Apparently a lot of retirees place their money in CD's there.
