A guide to account updates
Here at Lake Sunapee Bank, we recently completed a merger with
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, uniting two northern New England banks
with deep commitments to community banking and outstanding
customer service. We were fortunate to find a partner who shares
our principles, and values the local bonds we have established.

Bringing our two banking organizations together has created an opportunity
to carefully examine our products and services and make some significant
enhancements that will become effective on May 22, 2017.
For a smooth transition as we upgrade your banking experience,
please note several key items requiring your attention.
Branches
All Lake Sunapee Bank branches will remain open, operating as a division
of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. They will continue to be staffed by the same
friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable people you have come to know and
trust to handle your banking needs.
Transition Weekend (Friday, May 19 through Monday, May 22)
Branches typically open on Saturdays will be closed on May 20 while we
update our operating systems.
You may experience some access interruptions at ATMs and when using
your VISA® Debit card. Telephone Banking will not be available.
Access to Online and Mobile Banking will be limited to inquiry only,
reflecting balances as of May 18, 2017.
Founded in 1887, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust
is a full-service community bank offering
a wide range of financial services for
individuals, families, businesses, and
non-profit organizations. Featuring 14
convenient branch locations along the
coast of Maine, we recognize, appreciate,
and support the unique people and
culture in the places they call home.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. That’s
why you may want to have available a secondary form of payment,
such as cash or checks, during the transition weekend. Also, you may
want to plan ahead for any online transactions you wish to make.

Account Numbers
Only a handful of account numbers are changing. If your account
number is changing, you would have already been notified. Otherwise,
your account number is not changing.
Checks: You can continue to use your current checks as you always have.
ATM/Debit cards: You can continue to use your current ATM or
VISA® Debit card as you always have.
Direct Deposits and Automatic Payments: There will be no interruption
of these services.
New Routing Number: 011201759 To prevent any future disruption in
direct deposits and automatic payments, as of May 22, 2017 we
encourage you to provide this new Routing Number to your direct deposit sources (like an employer or Social Security) and to recipients
of automatic payments from your checking account (like utilities or
insurance companies).
Alert Center
As of May 19, 2017 this service is being suspended. A new notification and
verification system, which will provide additional protection against card
fraud, is under development.

FDIC Insurance Coverage
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust and Lake Sunapee Bank, a division of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, exist as one institution for
FDIC insurance purposes. $250,000 is the standard limit of federal deposit insurance coverage for a depositor at
a single bank in each “ownership category.” FDIC has a special rule that says when two banks merge, a customer’s
deposits will be considered to be separately insured — as if the two banks are still operating separately — for at
least six months and possibly longer for certificates of deposit (CDs) tied to the maturity date. The six-month grace
period will end on July 13, 2017. If your combined deposit balance exceeds $250,000, please contact us to review
available options. More information about FDIC deposit insurance can be found at: www.fdic.gov/deposit.
