Announcing the fastest growing bank on the
Philadelphia Business Journal "Soaring 76"
|
|
Last month we announced that Hyperion Bank was among the Philadelphia region's fastest growing public and private companies included on the Philadelphia Business Journal's annual Soaring 76 list. Now the Journal has released its rankings of the 2020 Soaring 76 companies, which are based off revenue growth over the three-year period from 2017 through 2019.
Hyperion Bank's outstanding 39% growth during this period placed us at #34 on the Soaring 76 list. Hyperion Bank outperformed the other two banks that qualified for the list, and we are the only Pennsylvania-based bank to make the Soaring 76.
Charlie Crawford, Hyperion Bank Chairman and CEO, said, “We are honored to receive this recognition which is a tribute to our employees, customers, and investors that have helped us achieve this growth.”

Pay Safely with your Hyperion Bank Debit Card
Free with Hyperion Bank Personal Checking Account*
|
|
Debit Cards are Easy to Use and Help Retailers Manage During U.S. Coin Shortage |

|
|
A free Mastercard® Debit Card is one of the many valuable benefits that come with Hyperion Bank's free Personal Checking Account. You need only $50 to open a checking account that has no minimum balance requirements, no monthly service charges or fees, unlimited check writing, free online banking and bill payment, free mobile deposits, and more!* Hyperion Bank debit cards are accepted anywhere that accepts Mastercard®.
Contact our customer service team at 215.789.4200 (PHL) or 404.381.2110 (ATL) or email [email protected] to open your personal checking account, get your debit card, and put convenience in your hands!
*Other financial institutions may charge ATM fees when you use your Hyperion Bank debit card at their ATMs. If other U.S. banks charge a fee for using your Debit Card at their ATMs, we'll rebate domestic ATM fees up to $25 per statement cycle. Hyperion Bank charges a 1% fee on all international debit card transactions.

FEATURED BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT:
INVESCROW, LLC
2870 Peachtree Rd. NW, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA 30305
|
|
Frank A. Thomas, Jr. founded INVESCROW, LLC in 1998 because he recognized that tax-deferred exchanges are a wealth-building tool for investors that also benefits the economy.
Frank says: "As a 1031 IRC Qualified Intermediary Company, we work with individuals, families, LLCs, and Corporations who are utilizing tax laws for investing in real estate, to take advantage of federal tax laws by selling one investment property and replacing it with another. Some of our clients are quite familiar with the process, but we often have clients who need guidance. It is rewarding to work with all levels of clients and see them through this process."
INVESCROW has grown through "grass roots" networking and referrals from attorneys, CPAs, real estate agents, and former clients. "We have an informational web presence with INVESCROW.com, but mostly the growth has come from consistency in the marketplace and established credibility," says Frank. "As we hold client funds as fiduciaries, it is essential the client has confidence that their funds are held safely in an institution that understands this relationship."
Why does Frank enjoy banking with Hyperion Bank?
"Relationship banking and customer service are two features essential to our business model and Hyperion Bank understands and delivers," Frank says. "With banks being bought, merged, and acquired, the 'back office' red tape requirements and policies seemed to be a moving target. Our business is deadline-driven, so we need a financial institution that respects urgency and timeliness. What we have found at Hyperion Bank is established policies, consistency, ease of opening accounts, and wiring funds. Amy (Ellis) and Joel (Higdon) provide excellent, timely, customer service and make us feel valued as a customer. We couldn’t be happier about this relationship."
Interested in learning more about tax-deferred exchanges? Call Frank at 404.231.9111.

Philadelphia Closes Streets for Fall Outdoor Dining, Various Locations, Oct. 1-31 |
|
Philadelphia City Council is expected to pass two bills that will extend outdoor dining regulations and options for city street closings through 2021, making it possible for restaurants to maximize their investments in al fresco seating and outdoor heating elements during the pandemic. Last month, a dozen neighborhoods each closed a designated street to cars for an entire weekend, allowing restaurants to expand their outdoor seating capacity--although they did so quietly to limit crowds and maintain social distancing. In October, watch for outdoor dining street closings to continue on varying weekends in Old City (2nd St.), Midtown Village, Rittenhouse Square, South Street & South Street Headhouse District, East Passyunk Avenue, the Italian Market (S. 9th St.), S. Camac St., E. Clementine St., University City, and Manayunk. Even with indoor dining capacity raised to 50%, many restaurants still need outdoor dining business to help them survive COVID-19.
Since the street closings are often not widely advertised, BillyPenn.com's Philly Food and Drink Scene column is a good source for restaurant news and outdoor dining information: consider subscribing to their free email newsletter for current restaurant news. BillyPenn's editorial staff reminds dining patrons: "If you go, take steps to stay safe and keep others around you safe. That means maintain social distancing, with your seat at least 6 feet from any other table. Wear a mask whenever you’re not eating or drinking — and ideally whenever your server comes to the table. Provide contact info when asked, for potential tracing efforts later on. And tip well! Restaurant workers are putting themselves at risk for customers’ enjoyment."
