Hanover-based Ledyard Bank announced it’s expanding into southern New Hampshire with a branch in Bedford.

The new location offers personal and business banking, wealth management and lending services, plus a 24-hour ATM and currency exchange services, Ledyard said.

At 99 South River Road, the branch is located in a retail outbuilding in the Bedford Mall retail center. The area is a retail destination for the Manchester suburbs and the new Ledyard branch has five other banks’ branches within a 500-foot radius, plus several others less than a half-mile away.

“We’re beyond excited to introduce a new kind of banking to the Bedford community,” said Ledyard President and CEO Josephine Moran said in a statement. “This new location is a true reflection of our One Ledyard approach—where every team member, every solution, and every interaction is aligned to deliver personalized solutions at every stage of a client’s financial journey. We’re here to build relationships, empower our clients and support the vibrant Bedford community.”
