A MESSAGE FROM Richard J. Green,
Executive Chairman and Owner

As we step into the fall season, I want to thank you for continuing to trust Firstrust as your financial partner. This year has been filled with opportunity and change, and through it all, our mission remains the same: to cultivate prosperity for you, your family, your business, and the communities we serve.

As Philadelphia’s Hometown Bank and the Official Bank of the Philadelphia Eagles, we also launched an exciting new partnership this quarter with Eagles legend Brandon Graham through our “Edge” campaign. Brandon’s career was built on strength, perseverance, and teamwork — values we share at Firstrust — and together, we are focused on giving our business customers the competitive edge they need to succeed.

Looking ahead, now is a great time for planning, reflection, and preparation. Whether you are planning for year-end, setting financial goals for 2026, or simply working to strengthen your financial foundation, we are here to help. My promise to you is that Firstrust will continue to provide personal service, innovative solutions, and relationships that last for generations.

Thank you for being part of the Firstrust family. It is an honor to serve you.

With gratitude,
‍Richard J. Green
‍‍Executive Chairman and Owner, Firstrust Bank

Eagles legend Brandon Graham knows a thing or two about the edge, considering how he terrorized opposing quarterbacks as an edge rusher throughout his 15-year career with the Eagles.

Now, instead of retreating into retirement, the two-time Super Bowl champion is joining forces with Firstrust Bank to help local businesses sharpen their competitive edge.

Firstrust Bank —Philadelphia’s Hometown Bank and the Official Bank of the Philadelphia Eagles — recently unveiled its “Edge” advertising campaign, with Graham as its star. The campaign cleverly draws on Graham’s reputation during his playing days as one of the NFL’s most feared edge rushers, framing him as the bridge between sports grit and business savvy.

“Brandon embodies the resilience, determination, and competitive spirit that drive Philadelphia forward,” said Richard Green, Executive Chairman and Owner of Firstrust Bank. "On the field, he dominated the edge. In business, Firstrust is just as relentless when it comes to helping local businesses find and maintain their edge. Firstrust is committed to helping businesses stay ahead of the competition by providing the resources and local expertise they need to succeed.”

Graham, whose 76.5 sacks rank third in franchise history, echoed that sentiment.

“My love for this city and my team will never fade, which is why I’m excited to partner with Firstrust,” said Graham, whose strip-sack of Tom Brady in the waning moments of Super Bowl LII is one of the most iconic plays in Philadelphia sports history. “Firstrust is a true teammate to businesses and community members across the region, encouraging growth and creating opportunities. I’m honored to work alongside them to help businesses find their edge.”

Firstrust’s “Edge” campaign launched last Friday during the Eagles’ preseason game against the New York Jets across a diverse mix of media: television commercials, radio spots, digital ads, billboards throughout Greater Philadelphia, in-branch displays, and social-media shorts designed to sustain visibility throughout the season.

Firstrust Bank, together with The Green Family Foundation, is proud to sponsor the 2025 Eagles Autism Radiothon in support of the Eagles Autism Foundation. This annual fundraising event unites fans, players, partners, and the community to raise critical funds for innovative research, resources, and programs that advance the understanding of autism.

Richard J. Green, Executive Chairman and Owner of Firstrust Bank and Trustee of the Green Family Foundation, joined WIP Sports Radio live on Wednesday, August 27th, to highlight the importance of the event and share Firstrust’s commitment to supporting families and individuals affected by autism.

Firstrust is honored to stand alongside the Green Family Foundation in championing this meaningful cause. The Eagles Autism Radiothon is more than just a day of giving—it is an opportunity to bring awareness, foster inclusivity, and create lasting change for those impacted by autism.
