Why don’t ducks like reading directions?

They prefer to wing it.

Channeling the Chesapeake spirit.

So what is the Chesapeake Way, you ask? In short, it’s how our bank’s personality comes through in how we do things. It’s taking the time to chat with customers about the tide that day, founding the first ever floating bank, or even greeting the occasional horse at the drive-thru. And by leaning into our name, plus our duck-infused, watery logo, we truly embraced our differences instead of just saying “different.”

Enough about us, what's on your mind?

Different

That’s what folks like to call us Not sure why. The way we see it, we’re just regular.

‘Cause 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 Q2.

And from what we hear, it was “different” when we built a floating bank. Though the fishermen didn’t find it so odd.

I mean, shoot…come to think of it, maybe folks are onto something.

But what they call “different”, we always just called

We appreciate how far you've come,
