In its Second Quarter 2024 Report to Shareholders, Hyperion Bancshares, Inc., Hyperion Bank’s holding company, noted more moderate balance sheet growth in loans and deposits, as well as growth in revenues and net income.

“Revenues have increased 26% and our net income is up 38% over the same period last year,” says Charlie Crawford, CEO & Chairman of the Philadelphia-based community bank, which also has a banking office and mortgage joint venture in Atlanta. “And the credit quality of our loan portfolio continues to be very good.”

Golden previously served in CFO & Controller roles with Iron Workers Bank, Susquehanna Bancshares and Abington Bank, as well as being a Senior Auditor with Deloitte.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Paul during such a pivotal time for the bank.”
