  1. Direct Deposit Authorization*
    Give this coupon to your employer's payroll manager to have your regular payments electronically deposited into your First Hawaiian Bank checking account. If you have Social Security, visit any branch and we'll help you fill out the Federal form to move your direct deposit. It's free and safe, plus it will save you time so you don't have to go into a branch to deposit your check.
  2. Request to Close Account*
    It's a good idea to close out that old checking account once all the checks have cleared and move the money to a First Hawaiian Bank checking account. Simply fill out this coupon and mail or give it to your old bank to instruct them to close your account and send you your remaining balance. The process is fast and easy.
  3. Automatic Payment Changes*
    If you have any payments automatically deducted from an account at another financial institution, why not move them to First Hawaiian Bank for safe, secure automatic payments? Just give a completed coupon to the company or creditor you are paying and they will begin taking the payment out of your new First Hawaiian Bank checking account instead.

*Note: Some employers, businesses or institutions may have additional requirements to process your request.
