Nicknaming your accounts

Posted on Jun 11, 2024

Adding Special Characters to an account nickname may cause errors with external transfers and sending money with Zelle®.

We suggest limiting your nicknames to letters, numbers, and spaces.

Please do not include special characters like: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = | ? / > < ; : \


You can add a nickname for your bank accounts through FHB Online Banking or the FHB Mobile app. When adding a nickname in FHB Online Banking, it will update the account nickname throughout FHB Online & FHB Mobile Banking. If you update an account nickname in the FHB Mobile app it will display the nickname throughout the FHB Mobile app, but it will not affect what is displayed when using External Transfers, Bill Pay, Zelle® or FHB Online Banking.

  1. Log in to FHB Online

  4. Click the 'Pencil' icon under the Online Display Name.
