Absolutely wonderful people, always smiling, always thoughtful, always helpful. I left a big bank after it changed to another and never looked back and very grateful I did!

The folks at Chesapeake Bank are always helpful. I've been banking with them for over 20 years. They're the best."

I like having a personal relationship with the people in the bank. There are no robot phones, and you are always greeted with a person. This bank is community oriented, and they care about the local area. It's more of a personable banking experience that any of the big bank branches."
