Founded in 1858, First Hawaiian Bank is Hawaii’s oldest and largest bank in the islands.  Charles Reed Bishop, the husband of Hawaiian Princess Pauahi Bishop, established the bank to provide a safe and secure place for the people of Hawaii to deposit their hard-earned money.  In fact, many of descendents of those who began banking with Mr. Bishop in 1858, continue to bank with us today.
