New Hampshire Banking Department - New Hampshire Banking Department

The New Hampshire Banking Department is committed to protecting the public's interest through professional supervision of the financial services we regulate. Our vision is to be an innovative and exemplary leader in financial services regulation.
The NH Banking Department is responsible for the general supervision of all New Hampshire chartered financial institutions. These institutions include commercial banks, fiduciary trust companies, mutual savings banks, guaranty savings banks, co-operative banks, merchant banks, and credit unions. The Department is also charged with the licensing and supervision of non-bank mortgage lenders and brokers, money transmitters, mortgage loan servicers, retail sellers, sales finance companies, small loan, title loan, payday lenders and debt adjusters.

State laws mandate that the Department conduct examinations of each financial institution and licensed lender and broker to ensure sound financial management and compliance with state and federal laws and regulations.

State Laws also provide the Banking Commissioner with power to investigate consumer complaints, hold public hearings and assess administrative fines and order restitution if New Hampshire State Laws are violated by institutions under his jurisdiction.
