Dear Chevy Chase Bank,
I imagine you are asked this a lot, but were you named after Chevy Chase, famous actor from Spies Like Us? He is my favorite actor so it would be an honour to open up an account with his bank. I am based in England but I do have some dollars left over from my trip to Florida when I went to see the crocodiles (they are much faster than they look, no?)
Best wishes,
Gerry Howell
Dear Gerry Howell:
Thank you for your e-mail dated 8/27/2008, inquiring whether Chevy Chase Bank is affiliated with Chevy Chase, the actor. We welcome the opportunity to assist you.
Chevy Chase Bank is not affiliated with Chevy Chase, the actor.
Chevy Chase Bank traces its roots back for over 100 years to the founding of the B.F. Saul Company in 1892 by Mr. B. Francis Saul. The B.F. Saul Company became established as one of the leading mortgage banking companies in the Washington area and survived the great Depression of the 1930’s by offering a diversity of financial services to the real estate industry
In 1969, Mr. Saul founded the Chevy Chase Bank, which began operation in a trailer located at the site of the Bank’s former headquarters on Connecticut Avenue. From its early beginnings, Chevy Chase Bank was an innovator in offering financial services to the public. Originally known as the "Home of the 6% Passbook," Chevy Chase established a reputation as the bank where the consumer could obtain a better value than was generally available.
