A legacy of safety and service.
At Central Pacific Bank, we strive to always put the needs of our customers first. Having been nationally recognized for ensuring customer satisfaction, trust and confidence, we take pride in our commitment to providing customers with safe and secure financial services. We have been proud members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) since our founding, providing a long legacy of strong protection for our customers and their asset.
Our legacy can be traced back nearly 70 years ago when Central Pacific Bank was founded by Japanese American veterans who served in the legendary 442nd Regimental Combat Team, 100th Infantry Battalion, and Military Intelligence Service. They refused to accept the social inequities immigrant families in Hawaii faced after World War II.
With their “Go for Broke” spirit, these young nisei (second-generation Japanese Americans) began meeting regularly under the banyan trees of Ala Moana Beach Park to pursue their vision of creating a bank that would serve all of Hawaii's people.
On February 15, 1954, their hard work and passion paid off with the opening of Central Pacific Bank in downtown Honolulu. Our founders strived to help local families and small businesses that the banking establishment ignored. Ever since, we’ve stood for inclusivity, opportunity, and doing the right thing.
We proudly carry on the mission of our forefathers to serve all of Hawaii's people with aloha. We continue to believe a rising tide lifts all boats. And we are committed to the financial health of our customers so that, together, we can build a stronger Hawaii.
Our values are more than just lofty words. They’re a part of our legacy. Learn More about our Legacy ›

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report
To effectively meet the needs of our local community, we’ve committed to being an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leader. Accordingly, we’ve identified four pillars that are of greatest importance. Our ESG report illustrates how we support these goals and our progress towards meeting them.
The four pillars of CPB are:
- Corporate Governance - Protect and enhance the interests of shareholders, with strong Board and executive leadership, and sound corporate governance and risk management practices.
- Support the Community - Be a leader in support of small business and in philanthropic initiatives across Hawaii.
- Support of Employees - Recruit and retain an exceptional, diverse workforce and maintain commitment to the health, well-being and success of these employees.
- Environmental Initiatives - Preserve the natural resources of our islands by implementing energy efficiency and other “green” practices across the organization, and setting targets to increase our customer base and financing in projects in the renewable energy and climate change adaptation sectors.
As a leader in Hawaii’s financial services industry, we are in a position to address social change and support opportunities for growth within our communities. We do this by remaining rooted in the ideals of bringing the Aloha spirit of Hawaii to banking and all that we do.
