Hampshire First Bank
Community Bank Grows in New Hampshire

Hampshire First Bank is a community bank with five locations throughout southern New Hampshire. Their corporate headquarters is located moments from the heart of downtown Manchester, providing quick access for employees to visit other banking center locations, check in with clients and prospects and commute from other locations in the area. As well, their proximity to Boston has aided them in recruiting qualified employees and enticing New Hampshire natives who have recently completed college to remain in the area.

“In just under five years, we have grown from one location to five banking centers, and were the top dollar volume SBA lender in the state for 2010,” said President and CEO Jim Dunphy. “Being in such an easy-access location has helped us in many ways, as has the ease of doing business in New Hampshire.”
