We have standard overdraft services that come with our checking accounts. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or Yes-Check^®, which is a line of credit that you can apply for to help cover overdrafts.

At the Bank’s discretion, we may authorize and pay overdrafts on certain types of transactions including checks, automatic bill payments, recurring debit card transactions and other types of overdrafts using your checking account number. A fee generally applies whether the overdraft item is paid or returned.

Our standard overdraft practices include a discretionary service called DebitPlus. If you want us to authorize and pay overdrafts on your everyday debit card and ATM transactions, you need to opt in or sign up for DebitPlus.

You can contact the Bank if you want to opt out of overdraft services for checks and automatic bill payments. If you do opt out and if such items come in against non-sufficient funds, they will be returned unpaid (“bounced”) and you will generally be assessed a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee.

If the bank pays your overdraft, this may help you avoid embarrassment, fees, finance charges, late charges and other consequences by the payee (e.g., merchant, landlord, creditor, etc.).

You must repay the overdraft promptly.  If you do not clear your overdraft within seven calendar days a continuing overdraft fee will be assessed.

Your Current Balance is your balance at the start of the day, plus or minus the transactions for that day. Your Available Balance is your Current Balance minus holds on your funds. Holds include deposits with a hold on the amount and debit card holds for pending purchases or payments using your debit card. Please note that for certain types of debit card transactions, some merchants obtain authorizations for a partial amount (such as gas stations) while others may be for a greater amount (such as restaurants) of the purchase. Therefore, the hold amounts may not always equal the transaction amount.

You can spend up to the amount of your Available Balance after accounting for pending or outstanding transactions without incurring an overdraft or non-sufficient funds transaction.

An OD fee is assessed when the bank pays (or honors) an overdraft item. An NSF fee is assessed when the bank returns (or bounces) an item unpaid due to non-sufficient funds. Your statement will list these fees as “ODF FEE - PAY” (overdraft fee for an item paid) or “NSF FEE - RET” (non-sufficient funds fee for an item returned).

The order in which we process transactions can affect the total amount of fees charged when an account is overdrawn. Transactions are processed and posted together at the end of each business day. We post all credits (such as deposits) before debits (payments from the account). For debits, guaranteed items (e.g., wire transfers, cashed checks, ATM withdrawals or everyday debit card transactions) are posted before those that are not (e.g., checks or ACH transactions). Within each group of transactions, we generally process from the lowest to highest dollar amount. In the case of checks or other items with a serial number, we process by check or serial number from low to high.

Note: Holds may be placed on your account (e.g., for deposits or debit card transactions) that will reduce your Available Balance and may cause your account to become overdrawn.

Consumers that have a personal checking and a personal Regular Savings or Priority Savings, may link their checking to a savings account for the purpose of automatic overdraft protection. Like Yes-Check^®, if an overdraft occurs, it will trigger an automatic transfer from the linked savings to cover the overdraft.  An Overdraft Transfer Fee may apply for each automatic transfer from savings to cover an overdraft.

You may visit us at any branch or in writing by mail or secured email via FHB Online.

Personal Regular Savings accounts and Priority Savings are eligible. YesSavings, Christmas Club and IRA Savings accounts are not eligible. Custodial savings accounts (HUTMA, UGMA, etc.) are also not eligible.

You can change your Overdraft Service by calling 1-888-844-4444, mailing a written request or visiting a branch.

Yes, we buy and sell all the major foreign currencies and some exotics. When purchasing currency, please allow about two business days for currency to be delivered to the branch, if the currency is available.

In most cases, foreign currency transfers settle on the value date. The market convention is two business days from the date you send the wire.

You may be able to negotiate a better price for your goods if you are paid in the foreign currency.

• Save money.
  Sending wires in the foreign currency could save you money. This is because many vendors will build a spread in the price to protect them from foreign currency rate fluctuations. If you have the option of getting billed in USD or in foreign currency, you may be able to save money by paying in the foreign currency.
• Possible competitive advantage.
  You may be able to negotiate a better price with your foreign counterpart if you allow them to avoid the risks of currency rate fluctuations and the cost of foreign exchange.
• Save time.
  Wires sent in foreign currency are usually subject to less delay than US denominated wires sent through intermediary banks. When you send a wire in foreign currency directly to the beneficiary, the recipient will usually receive immediate credit.
• Reduce risk.
  On the day you purchase the wire, you lock in the exchange rate. This means you know the exact cost in USD.

• Incoming and Outgoing Wire Transfers in foreign currency
• Purchase and Sale of foreign banknotes

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.
