Bank of Hawaii Corporation

Bank of Hawaii Corp. is the bank holding company for Bank of Hawai‘i, a franchise founded in 1897 and headquartered in Honolulu. Through its main banking subsidiary and related entities, it provides consumer banking, commercial banking, treasury services, and other financial services primarily in Hawaiʻi, Guam, and other Pacific Islands. The company’s business is built around local market knowledge, a branch network, and long-standing relationships with households, businesses, and public-sector customers in its core island markets. It also maintains a smaller presence in the U.S. mainland through shared national credits and other lending relationships tied to borrowers with operations beyond Hawaiʻi.
