Select Enroll as a Business User from the app login screen or cpb.bank/online-services-enrollment

    Central Pacific Bank

Once we have received your signed Enrollment Form, we will send you an email with instructions on how to login. 


The enrollment process for our foreign business customers is the same as it is for our domestic business customers. 


LogIn


Go to cpb.bank or open the app on your mobile device.

  • If you’re accessing digital banking through the browser, click login at the top right of the page and make sure the Account Type is set to Business Online Banking.

Input your login ID and password.

  • This login and password will be used whether you’re accessing your account from your browser or the mobile app.

If you forgot your password, you can reset it by clicking the Forgot Password link next to the login button. 

 

If you need help, contact our Customer Service Center at 808-544-0500 or toll-free at 1-800-342-8422.


To reset your password:

  • From either cpb.bank or the mobile app, click Forgot Password (located below or next to the Login button).
  • On this screen, input your username and an  email address or date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy), enter your info and click submit.
  • You will be prompted to verify your identity with our out-of-band authentication process. Typically, this is a text message or phone call.
  • After authenticating, you will need to input your new password and click Set Password to submit. Passwords must be 8 to 32 characters long and must contain the following: One Letter (upper or lower case), One Number (0-9), and a Special Character (~!@#$%^&*()_+-={}|:;?,./).

 

To reset your username:

  • Login at either cpb.bank or the mobile app. Go to the Profile tab, then select Username.
  • Create a unique username that is 8 to 26 characters long.

If you forgot your username, contact our Customer Service Center call 808-544-0500 or toll-free at 1-800-342-8422.


CPB has introduced a more secure means for resetting passwords. Rather than receiving an email to reset your password, you will be prompted with an out-of-band authentication request to verify your identity before resetting your password. After changing your password, you can expect an email notification that your password has been changed. 

If you do not receive this email, and your email on file is correct, contact our Customer Service Center at 808-544-0500 or toll-free at 1-800-342-8422.


After five (5) failed attempts, your account will be locked. To unlock your account, contact our Customer Service Center at 808-544-0500 or toll-free at 1-800-342-8422.


Yes, our applications share a single set of login information.


CPB customers asked us to simplify the digital banking login process and we listened to that feedback. The new digital banking products share a single username and password, which can be used to login from any device.


Out of Band Authentication (OOBA) is a multi-factor authentication process that provides your account with an additional layer of security.

If an unauthorized user gained access to your login credentials, the fraudster would be unable to complete a transaction without having access to your mobile phone or landline.


We do not offer email as an Out of Band Authentication (OOBA) option.

We require the OOBA verification code to be sent by text or call to the phone number that you designate. You have the option of storing up to 3 different phone numbers in your digital banking profile.

If you need to update the phone numbers connected to your profile, contact our Customer Service Center at 544-0500 or Toll Free at 1-800-342-8422.


Security Questions


A security question is a “shared secret” between you and the digital platform, and it’s used as an identity authenticator.

When setting up your CPB digital banking profile, you’ll be asked to answer security questions so that you can easily recover your account if you forget your password.


In order to maintain the security of your account information, we’ve increased the security of our login process. Our security system will request that you verify your identity by answering an out-of-band authentication request or by answering a security question.


You can update your security questions by navigating to the Security Questions page from the Profile menu. However, to maintain the security of your account information, only our Customer Service Center can reset your security questions if you’re having trouble remembering your answers.


We agree; some of the questions are strange but there is good reason. The questions, which were provided by our security vendor, are intentionally unusual to safeguard your account from fraud.

 

For other programs, you’ve probably seen questions such as, what was your high school mascot or the name of your first pet. While those types of questions may seem obscure to you, they might not be for a hacker. Quick internet-based research and some educated guests might be all a hacker needs to answer your security questions, reset your password and gain access to your account.

 

Here’s a tip for security questions that might be too easy for the bad guys to guess: try adding a twist to your answer like writing it backwards, adding a date or adding a symbol.


Direct Connect


If you’ve set up Quicken or QuickBooks with your CPB account(s) before [DC launch date], you’re already using Web Connect. Web Connect supports downloading transactions from CPB Online Banking. Direct Connect takes it one step further. In addition to transactions, Direct Connect allows you to take advantage of more online banking features directly through your Quicken or QuickBooks application.


Direct Connect supports transfers between your CPB accounts and allows you to set up and schedule Bill Payments. Please note that you will still need to add new Bill Pay payees through online banking.

To make transfers to other financial institutions or take advantage of features like Zelle, you can log into our online banking or download our mobile app.


You can deauthorize an app like Quicken or QuickBooks at any time. Log into our online banking and select Profile and then “Connected Apps” in the menu. You should see a list of any apps you have previously authorized in the “Connected Apps” section. You can disconnect the app by pressing the trash can (delete) icon.


Direct Connect only applies to users using Quickbooks or Quicken software.


No, Central Pacific Bank supports both Web Connect and Direct Connect. If you want to take advantage of Direct Connect features, you can choose to switch at any time.


If you haven't used Direct Connect for 90 days, you are required to reauthorize the connection. Go to Profile > Connected Apps in your CPB Online Banking to see if the app is awaiting authorization. If so, authorize the app again, and you should be good to go. If this is not your issue, check out our support section.


We have guides to help you switch over to Direct Connect. Please make sure you select the guide based on your current program and operating system.

QuickBooks (Win)
QuickBooks (Mac)

Alert delivery may be subject to delays, including service outages and connection issues.

  • Ensure the contact information associated with your account (telephone numbers, address and email) remains current.
  • Monitor your account transactions on a regular basis.
  • To improve your digital security, avoid using the same username and password for multiple applications. And, if you have been using the same username and password for a long time you should change it.
