Partnership pairs Bank of New Hampshire’s deep community roots with COCC’s real-time, open foundation built for long-term innovation.
COCC is pleased to announce that Bank of New Hampshire has selected COCC as its strategic technology partner, advancing the bank’s long-term commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and relationship-focused banking. With more than $2.7 billion in assets and a 195-year history of serving individuals, families, and businesses across New Hampshire, the bank is investing in a modern, future-ready technology foundation designed to support its next generation of growth.
Bank of New Hampshire was seeking a strategic partner that could help elevate customer experience, improve operational efficiency, unlock greater value from its data, and create flexibility to adopt new capabilities as the industry continues to evolve. COCC distinguished itself through the strength of its technology, its open and collaborative approach, and its understanding of the unique role community banks play in the markets they serve.
At the center of the partnership is COCC’s real-time, open-architecture core platform, providing Bank of New Hampshire with a unified, flexible foundation designed to streamline internal processes, accelerate the delivery of new products and services, and improve the accessibility of data. With a platform purpose-built for integration, extensibility, and continued innovation, the bank will be better positioned to respond to changing customer expectations while preserving the personalized service and deep community relationships that have defined it for generations.
As a mutual organization, Bank of New Hampshire found natural alignment in COCC’s 100% client-owned cooperative model, a structure that ensures product and innovation priorities are shaped by the institutions being served. Bank of New Hampshire also highlighted COCC’s engagement throughout the process, approaching every conversation as a true partner, engaging stakeholders across the organization, and remaining transparent about both the opportunities ahead and the work required to execute a successful conversion.
“Selecting a core provider is one of the most important strategic decisions a bank can make, and for us, it came down to finding a partner whose technology, people and long-term vision align with our commitment to serving our customers and communities for generations to come,” said Chris Logan, President & CEO of Bank of New Hampshire.

Leone, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of COCC. “For nearly two centuries, Bank of New Hampshire has demonstrated what it means to be a true community bank, earning trust, staying committed, and putting customers first. We take that legacy seriously and look forward to being the technology partner that helps carry it forward.”
