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.
