I can recommend staying away from TD Bank and Citizens. Have had bad customer service experiences with both of them. Citizens was really terrible. Offensive on two occasions.

I'm still with TD but only because, well, I don't even know why. Inertia, I guess. TD has been more apathetic than rude when I've had to deal with them personally.

Tellers are certainly friendly. Business policies not so much.

Edit: I can recommend Northeast Credit Union. They do have one branch in Concord but have less of a presence in the area overall. People there are super friendly and helpful. Went out of their way to help me set up a car loan.

Probably both those cities will check all the boxes. Concord is close enough to Manchester for more options, and Dover is close to Portsmouth.

You should take a hard look at property prices and rental availability around these parts. You might find there's some bad news there.

Good luck to you!

Shelburne, actually. But yep, that's Reflection Pond on Route 2.
