First Hawaiian, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the parent company of First Hawaiian Bank, one of the oldest and largest financial institutions in Hawaii. The company operates in the banking and financial services industry, providing consumer banking, commercial banking, wealth management, and treasury management services.

Founded in 1858 as Bishop & Co., the institution evolved from a regional banking partnership into a diversified banking organization serving the Pacific region.

Public disclosures and financial reporting consistently emphasize conservative underwriting standards, strong liquidity, and relationship-based banking as strategic advantages.
