Certified BCorp

Choose us for our Commitment to the Community.
Stay for our great rates and dedicated personal service.

Since 1877, we’ve been dedicated to the Seacoast community. Now, as a Certified B Corp, we’ve taken our commitment one step further. When you choose us as your Bank, you’ll be joining us, and other global leaders, who are declaring to put people and planet before profit.

We are so proud to be one of just 90 certified corporations in the U.S. So, come join us and be part of something bigger – knowing that as a customer with Portsmouth’s Local Bank, you’re also helping dozens of non-profit and community organizations that we support, year after year.

How it Works:

Becoming certified as a B Corp goes beyond product or service level certification. It’s the only certification that measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance. The B Impact Assessment evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impacts its workers, community, environment, and customers. From our supply chain and input materials (such as what was used in our recent renovation project) to our charitable giving and employee benefits, B Corp Certification proves that we are meeting the highest standards of verified performance.
