FAQs

    How do I setup External Transfers?

    External Transfers is available to customers 18 years and older who are registered for the FHB Online & Mobile Banking service. External Transfers enables you to transfer money to and from an FHB checking or money market account, or to an FHB credit card or loan account from another financial institution.

    External Transfers can be found under the “Transfers” section in FHB Online. Click on the “External Transfers” link on the right and follow the instructions to set up your external accounts.

      What are trial deposits? How do I verify them?

      Trial deposits are small, random amounts that are deposited to your external account to verify the account and routing number you provided are accurate.

      STEP 1: Receive Trial Deposits
      Within three business days, we will make up to two small deposits into your external account.

      STEP 2: Check Deposit Amounts
      Log into your external account to review the deposit amounts made. Deposits should appear as TRANSFER and/or ACCTVRFY. Write down the amounts for reference.

      STEP 3: Confirm Deposit Amounts
      You will receive an email notification prompting you to confirm the deposit amounts. To do this, log in to FHB Online, go to the Transfers page and click on the External Account Transfers link on the right side. Click on the “verify” link next to your external account and enter the deposit amounts. If the amounts entered by you match the amounts of the deposits we made, the account will be enabled for External Transfers.

        Can I transfer funds internationally?

        No, you can only transfer funds to your own accounts within the U.S.

          If I use External Transfers to make a payment to my First Hawaiian Bank mortgage, credit card or loan account, when does the payment get applied?

          When you use External Transfers transfer funds from your account at another financial institution to pay your First Hawaiian Bank mortgage loan, credit card, installment loan, or line of credit, the payment date will reflect the date that the External Transfer request was submitted as long as it is complete before 7pm HST (business days). Any requests made after this time will reflect the next business day’s date.
