Helping Local Business Is Our Business
Since 1960, Hawaii National Bank has partnered with entrepreneurs and businesses across Hawaii to help move their dreams forward. We opened our doors on September 19, 1960, in Honolulu’s Chinatown neighborhood. Led by founder K.J. Luke, a well-respected businessman and real estate investor, Hawaii National Bank grew to become one of Hawaii’s keystone banking institutions. Today, the legacy continues under the Luke family’s third generation of leadership. Hawaii National Bank continues to help Hawaii’s businesses thrive in an ever-changing financial landscape.
