Boh Emerson Matthew WebAt Bank of Hawaiʻi, we’ve been big believers in small business since 1897.

For over 125 years, we’ve been committed to helping generations of entrepreneurs realize their dreams of building a successful business in this place we call home. Today, we’re honored to continue our tradition as a sponsor of this year’s Hawaii Business Magazine’s “Best of Small Business Awards.” We know starting and running a small business takes courage, grit and determination—and we salute every owner for their commitment to following it through. They are the economic, employment and innovation engine that powers Hawai‘i and moves us all forward. We’re especially proud to congratulate all of our Bank of Hawai‘i winning clients—and all the winners—for their hard work. To every small business owner across our islands, mahalo for all you do.
