We've had excellent service for years from Profile Bank on our mortgages and savings plus a business account but we also split our resources between them and North East Credit Union and NH Federal Credit Union. Though since NHFCU has downplayed services over here in the seacoast at the Lee office we have more effort going to Profile and NECU.

My brother swears by St. Mary's Bank in Manchester where he lives which is technically a credit union and I have heard good words on DCU, Holy Rosary Credit Union and Service Credit Union but no direct experiences except with their ATM's which link up with NECU (but not NHFCU - go figure).

My vote goes to any decent credit union first and then a good local bank second when you might need a second source of funds for a big purchase like a house. It's worked for us for a long time now.

Last note. My wife still has a charge card with Citizens whose phone support is okay but walk up services run shorter hours then anyone else out here and have occasional screwed up on her payments (like credit them to the wrong account). Took a while to sort that out. Not a resounding vote of confidence.
