2020 Annual Report
Strength and Resilience
Advancing Together Toward a Brighter Future
Bank of Hawaii has been using its strength and resilience to rise above challenges since our founding in 1897—and 2020 was no exception. Although it was a year filled with uncertainty, we continued to support our shareholders, employees, customers and community.
In 2015, the Bank of Hawaii canoe, Ulu o ka lā (referring to the “first rays of sun on the horizon”) was commissioned and built by master canoe builder Nakoa Prejean. It was unveiled and blessed a year later, and shared with the public at the grand reopening of the bank’s Main Branch in downtown Honolulu. Years later, working together—as Nakoa Prejean and Main Branch Manager Lono Kealoha do in the cover photo (at left) to securely wrap the ama to the canoe—remains true, as we help guide our community to a brighter future.
Chairman’s Message
“2020 was genuinely a year of generational proportion. It was a year of profound loss, challenge and opportunity.
Our collective loss rests in the nearly 500,000 Americans who have sadly succumbed to COVID-19. Further, nearly 10 million Americans, a year after the start of the pandemic, remain unemployed as a result of economic fallout. Here in the islands, the loss of tourism resulted in record unemployment, which remains at triple pre-pandemic levels.”
–Peter S. Ho
