Description: FHB First Hawaiian

First Hawaiian, Inc. (FHB) is the bank holding company for First Hawaiian Bank, providing consumer and commercial banking products and services in the United States. The company operates through two segments: Retail Banking and Commercial Banking. Its offerings include deposit products (checking, savings, and time deposits), residential and commercial mortgage loans, home equity and auto loans, small business loans, commercial lease and auto dealer financing, as well as wealth management, trust and estate, private banking, and credit card and merchant processing services. Commercial lending includes auto dealer flooring, commercial real estate, and construction lending.

The company distributes its products through branch, online, and mobile channels. Founded in 1858 and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the company was formerly known as BancWest Corporation before adopting its current name in April 2016. As a regional bank focused heavily on the Hawaii market, First Hawaiian benefits from a geographically concentrated footprint that tends to limit direct competition from large national banks on the islands, though it also exposes the business to local economic conditions, particularly tourism and real estate cycles.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Hawaii tourism recovery boosts loan demand and deposits
  • Net interest margin compresses as Fed cuts rates
  • Commercial real estate exposure raises credit risk concerns
