The Hawaii Bankers Association (HBA), established in 1961, is a collective organization representing all FDIC insured depository institutions with branches in Hawaii. As the voice of Hawaii's banks, HBA advocates for a sustainable banking industry through collaboration with legislators, regulators, and the local community. With a membership open to FDIC insured depository institutions operating in Hawaii, HBA consists of banks, thrifts, and a depository financial services company. Since the establishment of Hawaii's first bank in 1858, financial institutions in the state have played a crucial role in transforming the economy by meeting the needs of consumers and businesses. HBA members continue to drive economic growth by offering innovative products, services, and loans.Generated from the website
