Community bank reports strong deposit and loan growth, national and regional recognition, its upcoming 20th anniversary and a Money Market promo

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperion Bancshares, Inc., the holding company for Hyperion Bank, reported continued growth and stronger earnings through the third quarter of 2026, with total assets reaching $589.8 million as of Sept. 30, up 13.5% from a year earlier, according to its Q3 2026 Report to Shareholders.

"Our smart growth strategy is delivering measurable results," says longtime community banker Charlie Crawford, CEO & Chair. "Deposits grew more than 27% year over year, loans increased nearly 14%, and net income for the first nine months rose more than 44%. Those results reflect the work of our team and the strength of our customer relationships."

The bank – headquartered in Philadelphia, with a banking office in Atlanta – reported loans of $502.7 million, net of reserves, up 13.9% from Sept. 30, 2025, and deposits of $448.2 million, up 27.1%. Robust deposit growth helped reduce reliance on wholesale funding while supporting continued lending in Philadelphia, Atlanta and beyond.

Earnings and Shareholder Value: Net income for the first nine months of 2026 increased to $2.06 million from $1.43 million in the comparable 2025 period. Net interest income rose 10.2% to $13.1 million, while book value per common share increased 7.4% to $14.79.

"We are focused on building a strong, sustainable community bank," Crawford says. "Growing core customer relationships and maintaining financial discipline help us invest in the future while delivering long-term value to shareholders."

Recognition for Sustained Growth: Hyperion was named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 for the third consecutive year, rising to No. 2,693, with its ranking improving each year. It also earned a seventh consecutive place on the Philadelphia Business Journal's Fast 50 list of the region's fastest-growing companies and was the only bank on the list for the third year running.

Customer-Centered Growth: Hyperion introduced an Elite Money Market promotion offering a 4.50% annual percentage yield (APY), guaranteed through June 30, 2027, on eligible new deposits. Available to individuals and businesses, the promotion requires a minimum balance of $10,000 to earn the promotional APY. Full eligibility requirements and terms are available at HyperionBank.com.

What's Ahead: Hyperion Bank will celebrate its 20th anniversary in November 2026. Founded in 2006, Hyperion is a full-service community bank combining technology with highly accessible bankers and relationship-focused service.

"As we approach 20 years of serving customers, we are grateful for the confidence our customers, shareholders and communities have placed in Hyperion," says Lou DeCesare, a Philly native and longtime community banker who is Hyperion President & COO. "We're celebrating around the theme, '20 years of banking & backing our communities,' and look forward to building on that strong foundation."
