Armed Forces Bank has earned Distinguished Bank recognition 13 of the last 14 years, underscoring its ongoing commitment to providing the financial services, products, and education that most benefit service members and their families. All told, Armed Forces Bank received a total of 29 Distinguished Bank of the Year awards between 1997 and 2023 – 14 from the Navy, nine from the Army and six from the Air Force.
“The consistent recognition over the last 30 years validates our efforts to help our military customers achieve financial success,” said Paul Holewinski, CEO of Armed Forces Bank and Dickinson Financial Corporation. “We wake up every day trying to better discern exactly what they need from a bank and then work to meet those unique needs. It is extremely gratifying to be named Distinguished Bank of the Year because it reinforces that we are making a positive impact on the lives of service members who sacrifice so much for us.”
Award Recipients – Armed Forces Bank at Naval Station Great Lakes and Luke Air Force Base Both Armed Forces Bank branches to win this year’s Distinguished Bank of the Year recognition – the Naval Station Great Lakes and the Luke Air Force Base locations – are part of the organization’s footprint of 14 branches on 12 military installations in 10 states.
Armed Forces Bank at Naval Station Great Lakes has been recognized as Distinguished Bank of the Year six years in a row and has earned the honor four other times as well, for a total of 10 since it opened in March 1997. It serves approximately 150,000 active duty, retired military, government personnel and their families at Naval Station Great Lakes and in surrounding communities.
Armed Forces Bank at Luke Air Force Base has been an integral part of the installation, fulfilling the financial needs of about 14,000 individuals on base and more than 80,000 retired military in the area with the highest-quality products and services.
Programs that Distinguish Armed Forces Bank “Everything we do is about making life easier and better for service members, veterans and their families, no matter where they are stationed,” said Tom McLean, senior vice president and regional military executive for Armed Forces Bank. “We believe we are uniquely qualified to do that, because 75% of our staff are military-affiliated, meaning they or someone they love has served. So, they’ve walked in our clients’ shoes.”
With an unwavering commitment to helping military clients effectively manage their finances, Armed Forces Bank offers the following innovative programs to make banking solutions and financial education fast, easy and personal for military personnel and veterans:
Career Transitioning/VA Support Armed Forces Bank participates in several government programs that support military service members transitioning to civilian life, including:
Access Freedom Checking Armed Forces Bank created this completely free checking for military personnel who highly value such an option. The account offers:
No monthly fees
No minimum balance required
No-fee money orders
Military Early Pay (access to DFAS direct-deposited funds one business day before actual pay date)
Access to 38,000+ ATMs in the MoneyPass® Network
Free overdraft protection when linked to a savings account
VA Loans According to the [VA, only 6% of the more than 21 million veterans and service members in the country today have used this government benefit that often offers better terms than traditional loans. One of the reasons is because many veterans don’t know about or understand VA loans, available exclusively to retired or active military service members who are buying or refinancing a home. Armed Forces Bank makes sure clients know they may qualify for a VA loan and has helped more than 12,000 homeowners close over $4.7 billion in VA loans since 2013.
“Militarily Speaking” Educational Podcast Armed Forces Bank also produces a podcast called “Militarily Speaking” and invites guest speakers to cover a wide range of relevant topics such as meaningful career transitions for veterans, the healing power of nature, volunteer organizations providing crucial services to military families, while also offering sage financial advice to help service members get ahead.
Military Family Financial Readiness Report New research from Armed Forces Bank reveals insights about the unique financial challenges, attitudes and well-being of military families. In its Military Family Financial Readiness Report, Armed Forces Bank shares comprehensive survey data gleaned from people connected to military life. The report examines benefits and challenges of current financial products, the importance of homeownership, post-military service financial confidence levels, preferred resources for financial insight, the impact of military experience on financial habits, and factors that contribute to or hinder financial literacy and security.
“Military families face distinctive financial concerns due to the nature of their service, including frequent relocations, deployment and fluctuating income. Understanding how they feel about financial readiness is crucial for providing tailored support and services,” said McLean.
Cybersecurity Awareness To protect military personnel and veterans, Armed Forces Bank has implemented a cybersecurity effort to protect them from fraud. Armed Forces Bank provides education about online security including how to identify phishing and spoofing scams, spot red flags and safeguard information. For example, bank associates last fall made over 22,000 phone calls to Armed Forces Bank clients to inform and educate them about trending schemes aimed at tricking consumers into revealing sensitive information. The bankers provided verbal guidance on how to protect their personal data and online banking credentials from fraudsters attempting to gain access to their funds.
Protecting Older Americans & Veterans Armed Forces Bank has implemented a comprehensive behavior-based monitoring program to protect clients – especially those individuals aged 55 and older, who are sometimes more vulnerable – from financial exploitation. Through fraud-prevention initiatives like advanced detection tools, collaboration with law enforcement and client education, the company demonstrates a strong commitment to safeguarding the financial interests of its clients.

Cerulean Scientific Inc., a leader in medical device innovation, is excited to announce the appointment of Tim Hopper as Chief Executive Officer by its Board of Directors. Cerulean Scientific is developing and commercializing a new category of implantable and indwelling medical devices that resist clogging, obstructions, and biofouling. The company’s lead product is the Cerulean Ventricular Shunt, which will help the one million individuals living with hydrocephalus achieve an improved quality of life.
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Cerulean Scientific Inc., a leader in medical device innovation, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Tim Hopper as Chief Executive Officer. Hopper will succeed Lora Allemeier, who is stepping down for personal reasons. Since her appointment in 2022, Lora has been pivotal in establishing Cerulean as an emerging leader in medical devices.
Mr. Hopper had worked with Cerulean over the past few months in a consultancy position. As Cerulean nears its first FDA submission utilizing the Cerulean Surface Technology, Mr. Hopper’s extensive medical device commercialization expertise will ideally suit the role as the company focuses on the steps needed to commercialize products.
“Tim is an exceptional leader with a proven track record in medical devices. I look forward to working closely with him as we position Cerulean for this next growth phase,” said Andy Jones, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Cerulean Scientific. “On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our gratitude to Lora for her prior leadership of Cerulean and for preparing it for future success.” Lora Allemeier, the outgoing CEO, also expressed her confidence in Tim’s leadership and her excitement for the future of Cerulean.
“I am honored to take on the CEO role at Cerulean, a company at the forefront of medical device innovation,” said Tim Hopper, CEO of Cerulean Scientific. “Our mission is to improve patients’ lives impacted by failed medical devices caused by biofouling. When biofouling causes implantable and indwelling medical devices to fail, patients suffer, and healthcare costs balloon. It’s time to change the standard of care.”
Cerulean Scientific’s lead product, the Cerulean Ventricular Shunt, will help the one million individuals living with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in cavities, called ventricles deep within the brain, in the United States achieve an improved quality of life and reduce their cost burden on the US healthcare system. Today’s commercially available ventricular shunts are prone to clog and fail, causing emergency “revision” surgery. Estimates state that 50% of implanted shunts fail within two years and 98% within ten years. Over 2 billion dollars a year of cost is related to shunts.
Mr. Hopper has over 30 years of operating experience within the medical device industry. He has held increasing responsibility in sales, marketing, and executive leadership positions for large multinational medical device manufacturing companies. Before joining Cerulean, Mr. Hopper was a vocal advocate and driver of medical device company creation in NC. He mentors NC university spinouts through his involvement as an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) at UNC at Chapel Hill, the NC State Chancellor’s Innovation Fund (CIF), and the Duke Founders Advantage Network (FAN).
About Cerulean Scientific
Cerulean Scientific is a medical device company developing and commercializing a new category of implantable and indwelling medical devices that resist clogging, obstructions, and biofouling. Founded in 2016 and working from Duke University’s life sciences entrepreneurship hub, our team boasts 100 years of combined experience developing and commercializing medical devices. The slippery surface of a pitcher plant inspired our durable, omniphobic Cerulean Surface Technology™. This unique and patented technology prevents biofouling and extends the usable lifespan of medical devices. It originated at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. Our first commercialized product, a ventricular shunt, will help the one million people living in the United States with Hydrocephalus achieve an improved quality of life and reduce their overall cost burden on the US healthcare system. Cerulean is headquartered in Durham, NC. For more information, visit www.ceruleanscientific.com

“True Up represents RevSpring’s innovation in response to a changing healthcare culture, which historically has not asked for patient responsibility payments upfront,” said Casey Williams, senior vice president, payment applications, RevSpring. “Improvements in patient cost estimation technology, combined with the assurance of an automatic refund in the event that a patient overpays upfront or has a remaining balance after receiving care, means providers are now empowered to confidently request payments in advance.
“The promise of automatic adjustments increases cash receipts, and reduces print and collection costs,” Williams added. “True Up is one more important feature for providers using PersonaPay that want to operate in a more modern, transparent and cost-effective way.”
Patient payment adjustments using True Up work with the payment method on file in RevSpring’s PersonaPay portal and leverage either RevSpring’s True Estimate™ and Merchant Services, or the provider’s own estimation tool and payment processor.
PersonaPay precisely tailors a payment experience for each patient, ensuring consistency at every touchpoint and through every communication channel. With PersonaPay, patients enjoy secure, fast and convenient payment experiences. True Up is available now with PersonaPay and is an integral component of the RevSpring Engage IQ™ platform, which delivers one coordinated patient experience from pre-care through payment, enabling providers to know their patients, prescribe their journeys and predict their outcomes.
About RevSpring RevSpring leads the market in healthcare engagement and payment solutions that inspire patients to participate in and pay for their healthcare. We’ve built Engage IQ™, the industry’s only connected patient engagement suite designed to coordinate patient interactions from pre-care to post-care to payment. RevSpring’s intelligent, holistic platform puts patient understanding at the center of one connected personal experience, allowing providers to fully optimize patient satisfaction, data accuracy, staff efficiency and financial outcomes. The company’s OmniChannel communications and payment solutions are backed by intelligence, analytics, contextual messaging and user experience best practices. RevSpring was rated #1 for Most New Capabilities in Patient Engagement by KLAS in 2023 and Best in KLAS in Patient Communications in 2024. To learn more, visit revspringinc.com/healthcare.
