Chesapeake Bancorp, the holding company for Chesapeake Bank and Trust Company, has been ranked among the best community banks in the country for a second consecutive year. In an article titled “The New Benchmark” in the June 2010 issue, US Banker Magazine listed Chesapeake number 13 of the nation’s community banks. The article focused on banks with less than $2 billion in assets, and cited such indicators as assets, return on equity, market value, and efficiency ratio.
“In an economic environment where depositors, borrowers, and investors are looking for a safe harbor, Chesapeake is very happy to have achieved this distinction,” commented James Anthony, President of Chesapeake Bancorp and Chesapeake Bank and
Trust. He went on to say, “This is an honor for which our employees should be proud. It is a reflection of every employee’s dedication to flawlessly serving our clients, community, and shareholders.
The way each and every employee conducts themselves on a daily basis defines our organization,and apparently, we’re doing pretty well.”
