Q: What are Clear Sky Accounts?
A: Clear Sky Accounts are totally paperless and completely online. That means more competitive rates on FDIC-insured savings, checking and certificates of deposit than you would find at a bank that only has traditional branches. Clear Sky Accounts are a product of Chesapeake Bank, which has been serving customers since 1900.
Q: How do I know my money is secure?
A: Clear Sky Accounts are backed by the strength and stability of Chesapeake Bank, a “well-capitalized” bank according to federal regulations. In 2008, it was named one of the nation's top 200 community banks by US Banker. In addition, all Clear Sky Accounts are FDIC-insured to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.
