FAQs

 

    Can I keep the PIN that I currently use?

    Yes, you may set your 4-digit PIN to the number you are familiar with, including your existing PIN. Your PIN must meet the bank security requirements. Please avoid the following patterns:

    • Repetitive numbers such as 1111 or 1122
    • Consecutive numbers in ascending or descending order such as 1234 or 4321
    • Special patterns such as 2580 (straight line of a telephone keypad)

    Please note, although you may keep the same PIN you currently have, you MUST still complete the PIN reset process.

      I have a joint checking account, how should I reset my PIN?

      Each debit card on the account has its own PIN number. Each PIN number should be reset by the customer listed on the debit card. All account holders may reset their PIN by calling the automated line. The primary account holder also has the option to reset their PIN in the FHB Mobile App. For personal accounts, a primary account holder is the first name listed on your checking account statement. For business accounts, each debit cardholder is considered primary and may change their PIN in the FHB Mobile App.

        What happens if I don’t reset my PIN?

        If you do not reset your PIN, your debit card purchases may be declined at point-of-sale transactions due to a PIN error that will occur when the bank switches to the new system in September 2023. If you missed the September 25, 2023, deadline, you should reset your PIN as soon as possible to recover functionality.

          Will ATM transactions be impacted?

          If you only use your debit card for ATM transactions, you can continue using your existing PIN without service interruptions. After the system update, point-of-sale purchases will not go through with your existing PIN.

          If you choose to reset your PIN, you will need to use your new PIN for both ATM and point-of-sale transactions.

            Was my PIN compromised? Will my debit card be reissued?

            No, your PIN was not compromised. Your card will not be reissued to support this system upgrade.
