First Hawaiian rated outstanding
O‘AHU — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has rated First Hawaiian Bank “Outstanding” for its performance under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
First Hawaiian has received this top rating for meeting Hawaii’s credit Deeds in every FDIC evaluation since 1995. Only 17 percent of all financial institutions nationwide earn an “Outstanding” CRA Rating.
“The Community Reinvestment Act is a federal law that encourages banks to help meet the credit needs of their entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The FDTC and other financial regulators regularly assess compliance with CRA and rate each institution either: Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve or Substantial Noncompliance.”
The FDIC rated First Hawaiian “Outstanding” on all three CRA tests – lending, community development investments and delivering responsive services through its retail branch system.
The FDIC said First Hawaiian Bank’s record in small-business loans, consumer loans and residential mortgage loans “reflects excellent responsiveness to the credit needs” of Hawai‘i.
The bank made more than $2.3 billion in such loans in its markets during 2001-02, the period evaluated by the FDIC.
