It has been a busy start to 2013 for the lending team at Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB), with increases in nearly all areas of personal and business lending. In this low-rate environment, MVSB lenders and their support staff have been working extra hours to meet the demand for refinances, while traditional mortgages and construction loans have continued to pick up; signs that community members are becoming increasingly confident in the economy, are purchasing and building homes, and businesses are looking to expand. In one recent endeavor, the Bank collaborated with Belknap EDC to provide financing to Hermit Woods Winery […]

Area law enforcement recently notified us of numerous consumer complaints regarding suspicious phone calls from fraudulent elderly medical alert companies going by names such as “Senior Alert Care Company.” The representatives claim that a family member has purchased a medical alert system for the recipient of the call and then asks that they provide a credit card number to finalize the account setup. Should you receive a telephone call similar to the scenario described above, it is likely a scam. If you are not sure if a call is legitimate, take down as much information as possible and contact law […]
