Summer in Hawaii is all about community. It's a season of gathering with family and friends, supporting local businesses, and making memories that last long after the season ends.

At Central Pacific Bank, we're proud to be part of those moments. Whether it's helping local entrepreneurs showcase their products at the Made in Hawaii Festival, providing tools to help you stay on track with your financial goals, or earning recognition as one of Hawaii's best banks, our commitment remains the same — we're here to help our customers and communities move forward with confidence.

Here's what's current this month.

Supporting Local at the Made in Hawaii Festival

Central Pacific Bank is proud to once again serve as the Official Bank Sponsor of the Made in Hawaii Festival, one of the state's premier celebrations of locally made products and small businesses.

This year, we're excited to bring back CPB Lane, a dedicated section of the festival featuring many of our incredible small business customers. From local food makers and artisans to wellness brands and unique island-inspired products, CPB Lane showcases the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that make Hawaii special.

This year’s featured CPB Lane businesses include:

You'll also receive 10% off your ticket purchase when you use promo code CPB10 during checkout.

Whether you're shopping for locally made gifts, discovering a new favorite business, or supporting Hawaii's entrepreneurs, we hope you'll stop by CPB Lane and say hello.

DON'T LET URGENCY DECIDE: Scammers want you to act fast. Take a moment to verify.

Scammers often create a sense of urgency to pressure people into acting quickly. Be cautious of messages such as:

  • "Your account has been compromised"
  • "Payment is overdue"
  • "Your account information has changed"
  • "Immediate action required"

Before taking action, verify the request through a trusted source. Be especially cautious if a message asks you to provide personal information, send money, or change payment instructions.

If you're unsure whether a call, email, or text is genuinely from CPB, contact us directly at (808) 544-0500. We can help verify whether the communication is legitimate.
