About First Hawaiian Bank | Kilauea Avenue in Hilo

First Hawaiian Bank has deep roots in the islands — founded in 1858, it's the oldest and largest bank in Hawaii, and this Hilo branch on Kilauea Avenue reflects the character of a city that runs on community rather than tourism. The surrounding stretch tells you exactly where you are: a Japanese restaurant alongside a natural foods market, local cafes, and a seafood spot drawing on the Pacific's bounty — this is everyday Hilo, a working town shaped by sugar-cane history, Japanese and Filipino immigrant culture, and a stubborn pride in doing things its own way. Banking here isn't a transaction so much as a relationship, and First Hawaiian has built its reputation statewide on exactly that. An ATM is available on-site for after-hours needs.
