First Hawaiian Bank Will Waive Fees For Non-Customers Cashing Stimulus Checks
FHB offers this service to FHB customers and non-customers alike
HONOLULU, December 30, 2020 – First Hawaiian Bank (FHB) today announced it will cash any stimulus check with no fees assessed, whether the bearer is an FHB customer or not. The federal government has stated that it will begin mailing paper checks on Wednesday December 30 to qualifying U.S. citizens.
Many within our local community do not have banking relationships that enable them to quickly and inexpensively cash these checks, and these people often are the most vulnerable and most likely to be affected by job losses. FHB’s goal is to help get this money into people’s hands quickly and easily.
“With so many people in our community impacted by the pandemic, we are waiving fees to cash a stimulus check for both non-customers and customers,” said Bob Harrison, First Hawaiian Bank Chairman, President and CEO. “We want to do our part to make sure that people can gain access to this much-needed cash as soon as possible.”
Individuals who receive a stimulus check can cash it any First Hawaiian Bank Branch during regular business hours. FHB Customers may also deposit their check using an FHB ATM and deposit remotely through FHB Mobile.
