October is , a good time to remember that cybercriminals are getting better at looking – and sounding – legitimate. Emails, texts, websites and even voices can be convincingly faked. A little skepticism can go a long way toward protecting your money and identity.
One good rule for 2026: If a message creates urgency, fear or excitement and then asks you to click, pay or share information, slow down and verify first.
A few smart habits:
• Think twice before making purchases or accessing financial accounts on public Wi-Fi.
• Never send money or provide account information in response to an unexpected email, text or call.
• Be suspicious of urgent requests – even when they appear to come from someone you know. When in doubt, verify using a phone number or website you already trust.
• Look closely at links and website addresses. Fake sites can be nearly identical to the real thing.
• Never provide sensitive information – Social Security number, date of birth, passwords or verification codes – unless you know exactly who is asking and why.
• Be thoughtful about what you share on social media. Scammers use personal details to make an impersonation attempt more convincing.
• Use strong, unique passwords – or passkeys where available – and don't reuse passwords across accounts.
• Turn on multi-factor authentication, especially for email, banking and financial accounts. (Yes, it can be annoying. It’s also effective. And for your protection.)

We’re big believers in local decision-making. But Braves vs. Phillies?
For once, we’re taking this decision out of our Atlanta & Philadelphia offices. Play ball. And may the best team win!
One bank. Two hometowns. On the same team. (Cause we’ve got home field advantage either way!)

Hyperion Bank is included among the Philadelphia Business Journal's 2026 “Fast 50” list, ranking the Greater Philadelphia region’s fastest-growing businesses. This is Hyperion’s SEVENTH consecutive year on the list, and the third year it is the ONLY BANK on the list.
“We’re proud to be recognized among the region’s fastest-growing companies for a seventh consecutive year,” says Louis J. (Lou) DeCesare, Jr., Hyperion’s President & COO. “Sustained growth doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from experienced, highly accessible bankers who know their customers, know their markets and genuinely enjoy helping people and businesses succeed. Our job is to give those bankers what they need to do what they do best – in the Philadelphia Region, Metro Atlanta and beyond.”
Specific rankings, growth numbers and other Fast 50 (formerly known as “Soaring 76”) metrics will be revealed at an Oct. 20 gala event and in the Oct. 23 issue of the PBJ.
The Fast 50 recognition comes on the heels of Hyperion’s inclusion in the 2026 Inc. 5000, recognizing fastest-growing private companies nationally; it is the THIRD consecutive year the bank has made the Inc. 5000.

Historic foundations in the community: After being constructed from 1869-1871, Hyperion’s headquarters began life as Eighth National Bank of Philadelphia. It saw expansions, modifications and other uses over the years.
When Hyperion opened in 2006, we restored the historic building, preserving a neighborhood landmark while giving it a new chapter, again as a community bank.

A new season, a fresh perspective: Tues., Sept. 22, marks the autumnal equinox and the official beginning of Fall.
As the days grow shorter and the season changes, it’s a welcome reminder to appreciate the people, places and connections that make our communities feel like home.
At Hyperion Bank, we’re grateful for the neighbors, businesses and families we have the privilege of serving through every season. Here’s to a beautiful autumn and all the possibilities ahead. Happy Fall!

Hyperion’s Amy Ellis and Charlie Crawford recently attended the ribbon cutting for the new home of Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA), which will soon open to the public at the Goat Farm Arts Center in West Midtown Atlanta. Luminaries cutting the ribbon and making remarks of course included Annette Cone-Skelton, artist, curator & MOCA-GA founder, and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. (Hyperion is providing one of the sources of lending toward MOCA-GA’s new 26,000-square-foot facility.)
As Cone-Skelton noted earlier, “it’s taken a diverse and generous village to bring us to the building of our first permanent home on land we own…and we’re glad that team includes Hyperion, which has been responsive and enthusiastic, with a great understanding of our goals, processes and role in the community.”
We look forward to seeing you at the opening of the new facility soon. In the meantime, learn more about MOCA-GA, its rich history and current and coming exhibits. (https://mocaga.org/)
