MVSB opens new full-service bank in Exeter with grand opening celebration

EXETER — Meredith Village Savings Bank is opening its newest banking office at 3 Meeting Place Drive in Exeter.

The community is invited to an all-day grand opening on Friday, July 19. The event will feature tours, giveaways, outdoor games, ice cream and treats from Clyde’s Cupcakes truck and the opportunity to vote for a local nonprofit to win a $1,000 donation.

The full-service location brings customer- and community-focused financial services to those who live, work and play in Exeter and surrounding communities. The branch is the bank’s 14th location across the Greater Lakes and Seacoast regions of New Hampshire, with nearby locations in Portsmouth and Rochester.

“It has been exciting to watch the branch take shape over the past few months, and we are so excited to open our doors and present this beautiful new office and MVSB to the community,” said Jim Carrigan, MVSB regional vice president. “Our team of knowledgeable and friendly bankers and lenders are ready to serve the needs of Exeter.”

Kelly Geary, branch & business development manager, will lead the office, supporting the bank’s local customers, employees and community involvement efforts alongside Danielle Bowles, branch services supervisor for the location.

“The community has been so welcoming and supportive of MVSB and our team, and we are thrilled to continue to grow relationships and be involved in all that makes Exeter so special,” said Kelly. “We hope everyone will stop into our grand opening celebration on the 19th or any time to meet the team, see the new office, and allow us to share our appreciation!”

In addition to the branch banking team, Deborah Miller, mortgage loan officer, will continue to support home lending clients. Julie Clement, vice president of business development & small business lender, and Angela Salb, vice president of commercial lending officer team leader, will continue assisting businesses with their specialized business banking and financing needs.

MVSB’s Exeter office was designed by Warrenstreet Architects, Inc. and construction was managed by Conneston Construction, Inc.

The building features stone and cedar cladding with plenty of parking, in-office and drive-up banking, an ATM and a self-service coin counter.
