HAMPTON -- With an experienced staff of twelve, a beautiful new facility on Winnacunnet Road, and a complete package of full-service bank products, Tina Levasseur, wants to be your personal banker. Ms. Levasseur, with 26 years of banking experience behind her, is Vice President/Manager of Community Bank & Trust Company which opened its doors for business on August 20, 1997. Since that time, deposits have reached nearly $5 million as customers have found a true community bank to satisfy their banking needs.

The bank prides itself on its ability to respond quickly to customers.

"When acting on a loan application, we don't need to go through many layers of decision makers and committees like a big bank often does," says Levasseur, who adds that often she can make a decision for a potential borrower the same day.

The bank offers residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, construction loans, as well as consumer loans. "We also offer a full range of services, like high-yield CD's, a MasterMoney Debit Card, a 24 hour PhoneBank, and safe deposit boxes," explains Levasseur.'

Levasseur, a member of the Hampton Chamber of Commerce and the Hampton Rotary Club; encourages her staff to give back to the Hampton area by volunteering through local service organizations.

"Everyone on my staff has volunteered at the Odyssey House at one time or another. We also volunteer at the James House," Levasseur says. She explains that this not only helps the organization get the job done, but also helps her and her staff get to know the community better.

Located at 117 Winnacunnet Road, Hampton, the bank lobby and the drive-up are open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; Fri-day from 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.; and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The bank's ATM, which is located in the drive-up, is open 24 hours, seven days a week.
