Bank of Hawaii celebrated the reopening of its newly renovated KTA Pū‘āinakō Branch on Monday, advancing the bank’s investment in Hawaii Island communities with its third Branch of Tomorrow transformation in just three months.
Bank of Hawaii has been in the Hilo community since 1922 and inside the locally owned and operated KTA Super Stores at Pū‘āinakō for 30 years. The first Bank of Hawaii service offered at KTA Pū‘āinakō was an ATM. Now, as the bank’s newest Branch of Tomorrow, the location features an outdoor, 24/7 Easy Deposit ATM, as well as an indoor ATM accessible during store hours. The 538-square-foot space has been thoughtfully modernized to provide additional space to serve the community, including an expanded technology-focused Teller Bar and dedicated space for in-person consultations.
“Over the years, we’ve built a strong and enduring relationship with KTA Super Stores, rooted in a shared commitment to serving our local community. This renovation reflects that partnership and our mutual dedication to Hawaii Island. KTA continues to make a meaningful difference by supporting local businesses and giving back, and Bank of Hawaii is proud to partner with an organization that shares our values and dedication to Hawaii,” said Bank of Hawaii President and Chief Banking Officer Jim Polk.
The KTA Pū‘āinakō Branch is located inside the grocery store and open six days a week.
