About Central Pacific Bank

Central Pacific Bank (CPB) is built on a legacy of determination and a mission of unwavering support for all of Hawai‘i’s people. Our founders were World War II Nisei veterans who valiantly fought for our country, only to be denied financial services when they returned home. With that motivation, they created CPB in 1954 with community and equality at the forefront, ensuring no deserving member of our community would be overlooked. This spirit of equity and service continues to guide us today.

The Made in Hawai‘i Festival provides a powerful platform for our local small businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive. As a long-standing leader in small business advocacy, CPB is proud to be the “Official Bank of the Made in Hawai‘i Festival,” providing critical financial resources that help local vendors participate and succeed in this signature event.

We are more than a bank, we are a dedicated partner in your journey, carrying forward the courage of our founders to help customers achieve their dreams. Experience the difference of a bank built for the community, by the community.

Our commitment to excellence has earned national recognition for customer satisfaction, trust, and security.
