The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) is a federal law that allows other banks that process your checks to convert them to substitute checks to make the exchange of funds easier. This improves the efficiency and safety of the nation's check payment system.

A substitute check, also known as an Image Replacement Document (IRD), is a reproduction of an original check made from a digitalized image. It has the same legal standing as the original paper check and is a valid document for proof of payment purposes. A substitute check contains the legend "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check."

As more banks take advantage of the Check 21 law, First Hawaiian Bank will receive only images of more and more items. Please note that if another bank or merchant converts your checks to digital images, they will send only the images to First Hawaiian Bank and either retain or destroy the original check. If your check is deposited at First Hawaiian Bank, a digital image will be captured, and the original check will be destroyed for security reasons.

Yes. The IRS, Federal Reserve, local and state governments, courts of law and merchants generally accept check images as valid proof of payment.

Unfortunately, check images are not available for Braille or large print statements at this time.

We generally charge a monthly fee for including one or more check images with your statement. Please see your Personal Schedule of Fees for more information.

First Hawaiian Bank customers who receive check images benefit from simplified record-keeping and reduced storage requirements for cancelled checks. And since images are in numerical order, it's very easy to locate a check on your statement.

Check images are pictures of your cancelled checks. Each cancelled check is scanned, and the digital image is stored in our computer system. Check images are then printed clearly in numerical order and included with your monthly account statement.

Each page will show up to 8 (image of check front side) per 8 1/2 x 11 page for individuals and up to 6 (image of check front & back sides) per page for businesses - all listed by check # in your monthly statement. Check Image Statements can be easily filed or placed in a binder for reference. Click here for an individual example and here for a business example.
