FDIC-Insured – Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government

At Chesapeake Bank, we do things different. Different. That’s what folks like to call us. Not sure why. The way we see it, we’re just regular. Because apparently, it’s “different” to treat customers like neighbors. Even though, they are. It’s “different” to have a duck mascot as an official employee. Even though she was a top performer in Q3. And from what we hear, it was “different” when we built a floating bank. Though the fisherman didn’t find it so odd. Come to think of it, maybe folks are onto something. But what they call “different,” we always just called The Chesapeake Way.

Your "Captains of the Community"

Your friendly neighborhood banking gurus. We’re all about resourcefulness, consistency, and good old-fashioned honesty.

Careers

We’ve been named American Banker’s “Best Bank to Work For” since 2013. Our employees, customers, and investors will tell you we’re resourceful, steady, creative, reassuring, knowledgeable, genuine, and a jovial group who cares deeply about the community we live in. Come work with us.

History

Going beyond banking for our customers has been our mindset since we opened our doors along the shores of the Northern Neck in 1900. Many of our customers have been with us for decades. Generations even. We’ve always been responsive to those in our community, as evidenced by our former floating “Boat ‘N Bank,” created to better serve workers at the Irvington oyster packing plant back in 1968. Now, as the bank expands into other territories across the Commonwealth, we continue to solve challenges and innovate while staying true to our hometown roots.

Our Board of Directors

The Board of Directors are trusted leaders who are expertly guiding Chesapeake Bank into the future. We assemble three boards – Chesapeake Financial Shares Directors, Chesapeake Bank Directors, and Chesapeake Wealth Management Directors
