AI and technology compared

How does Bank of Hawaii Corporation compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index Bank of Hawaii scores 37.8 (#77 of 120 US banks), fourth in a nine-bank group of West regionals behind WaFd (52.3), First Interstate (51.3) and its Honolulu rival First Hawaiian (47.2), and far ahead of Cathay (2.6), Bank of Hope (2.1) and Glacier (2). Its lead is employee AI it has counted and named owners: Microsoft Copilot went to all employees in July 2025 after three training modules, 60 staff act as AI Ambassadors, and the 2025 annual report names an executive director of an AI Development Center and a governance framework with oversight committees and ethical review protocols. It ranks first in the group on named AI leaders. Its gap is AI in front of customers and in credit. First Hawaiian's AI underwriting model, built with Zest AI, lifted automated credit-card decisions from 4% to 55% of applications (vendor-reported, June 2025); WaFd says AI more than doubled its pace of software development (April 2026); First Interstate is piloting a Fiserv agentOS agent for commercial loan onboarding (May 2026). Bank of Hawaii's own AI use cases in wealth discovery and the call center were still being implemented on its April 2026 call, and its Q4 2025 and Q2 2026 calls did not mention AI. On digital reach it discloses more than most peers: 350,000-plus digital enrolments and 6.4 million average monthly logins in 2025. In its home market it holds 34.5% of Hawaii bank deposits against First Hawaiian's 32.1% (FDIC, June 30, 2025).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Where does Bank of Hawaii lead its peers on AI?

01

An all-employee Copilot rollout most of the group has not matched

Bank of Hawaii made Microsoft Copilot available to all employees in July 2025, gated by three mandatory training modules and backed by 60 AI Ambassadors. Bank of Hope's board policy limits AI use until each tool is vetted and approved, and CVB says it uses AI tools only on a selective and limited basis (2026 proxies).[1][2][10][11]

02

The most named AI owners in the group

Bank of Hawaii places first of nine on named AI leaders: its 2025 annual report lists an executive director of an AI Development Center on the Operating Committee, a chief data officer and a director of enterprise data and policy governance. First Interstate names no head of AI or chief data officer, and Cathay names no chief information, technology, data or AI officer among its seven executive officers.[1][12][13][14]

03

Digital usage figures First Hawaiian does not publish

Bank of Hawaii reports 350,000-plus digital enrolments, 6.4 million average monthly logins (up 21% from 2024), 10.3 million mobile-wallet transactions and 189,700 Zelle customers for 2025. First Hawaiian launched a new mobile app with an in-app chatbot in July 2025 but its release gives no user or usage count.[1][15]

04

A written responsible-AI framework with ethical review

Bank of Hawaii's 2025 annual report describes a governance framework 'which incorporates policies, oversight committees, and ethical review protocols', and its 2026 proxy says the board devotes significant time to AI oversight. CVB is the only other peer with a comparable named body, a six-seat AI Governance Council chaired by its COO; Cathay's filings contain no AI reference at all.[1][16][11][14]

Where does Bank of Hawaii trail its peers on AI?

01

No AI in credit decisions while First Hawaiian has one in production

First Hawaiian won Celent's 2025 Model Bank award for AI-augmented retail lending, and Zest AI reports its model lifted automated credit-card decisions from 4% to 55% and instant approvals from 4% to 40% in a year. Bank of Hawaii discloses no AI in underwriting; its named use cases are wealth discovery and the call center (April 2026).[17][3][6]

02

No customer-facing AI agent while WaFd and First Interstate build theirs

WaFd said in April 2026 it would introduce an AI-powered call-center agent for 24/7 support, and its earlier Amazon Lex voicebot cut calls to live representatives by 45% for enrolled customers (AWS). First Interstate co-built a commercial loan onboarding agent on Fiserv's agentOS. Bank of Hawaii's call-center AI was still a use case in progress on its April 2026 call.[4][18][5][6]

03

Fewer independent sources than First Hawaiian

Bank of Hawaii scores 4 on independent sources against First Hawaiian's 8, the group leader; most of its AI record comes from its own annual report, 10-K and proxy. First Hawaiian's record includes an analyst award (Celent) and a vendor case study (Zest AI) describing a production model.[1][2][17][3]

04

No AI-assisted engineering number

WaFd builds its own consumer online and mobile apps and says AI assistance has more than doubled the pace of development (April 2026). Bank of Hawaii discloses no developer AI tool or engineering metric; its 2025 10-K lists 1,877 full-time-equivalent employees and $443.1 million of noninterest expense, up 7.9%, without attributing any saving to AI.[4][2]

05

AI silence on most calls

AI came up on only one of Bank of Hawaii's 2026 calls: the first quarter, when management cited governance work and use cases in wealth and the call center but said it was early to read results. The Q4 2025 call on January 26 and the Q2 2026 call on July 27 contained no AI discussion. First Hawaiian's last four calls also omitted AI.[6][7][8][19][20][21][22]

Where does Bank of Hawaii rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from the US AI disclosure index of 120 banks (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

How does Bank of Hawaii compare with First Hawaiian on AI and digital?

Bank of Hawaii Corporation is compared here with Cathay General Bancorp, First Hawaiian, Inc., First Interstate BancSystem, Mechanics Bancorp, CVB Financial Corp., WaFd, Inc., Hope Bancorp (Bank of Hope) and Glacier Bancorp: the US banks on this site nearest to it in business model (regional or retail-commercial bank) and assets on the Federal Reserve's large-bank list, with a preference for its home region (West). Bank of Hawaii Corporation is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the West.

Is Bank of Hawaii better than First Hawaiian at AI?

The record cannot settle capability, but First Hawaiian has put more on it: 47.2 on this site's disclosure index against Bank of Hawaii's 37.8. First Hawaiian has an AI underwriting model in production (Zest AI reports automated card decisions up from 4% to 55%). Bank of Hawaii discloses an all-employee Copilot rollout, 60 AI Ambassadors and a named AI Development Center.[3][1]

Does Bank of Hawaii have an AI chatbot or virtual assistant for customers?

Not one it has launched. Management said on the April 2026 call that it was working on AI use cases in the call center and in wealth-management discovery, and a 2024 pilot targeted interactive voice response. First Hawaiian's July 2025 app includes an in-app chatbot, and WaFd announced an AI-powered call-center agent in April 2026.[6][76][15][4]

Which AI tools do Bank of Hawaii employees use?

Microsoft Copilot, available to all employees since July 2025 after three training modules, with learning labs and a weekly Copilot challenge. Sixty employees serve as AI Ambassadors. The 2026 proxy also credits the chief administrative officer with an AI initiative in the legal function. Microsoft is the only AI vendor the bank names.[1][2][16]

Who leads AI at Bank of Hawaii compared with its peers?

Bank of Hawaii names an executive director of its AI Development Center, Kimarie P. Matthews, a chief data officer and a vice chair over IT, data and digital banking. First Hawaiian gave EVP Jason Dang its AI programme in January 2026. CVB runs AI through a COO-chaired council; First Interstate and Cathay name no AI head.[1][2][71][11][12][14]

How does Bank of Hawaii's technology spending compare with peers?

None of the group discloses a technology or AI budget. Bank of Hawaii's 2025 noninterest expense was $443.1 million, up 7.9%, and Q2 2026 noninterest expense $111.2 million, up 0.4% on a year earlier. CVB reports computer software expense of $17.1 million for 2025, up 12.07%; Cathay reports $23.2 million of computer and equipment expense.[2][67][73][14]

How does Bank of Hawaii's digital banking compare with First Hawaiian's?

Bank of Hawaii publishes usage: 350,000-plus enrolments, 6.4 million average monthly logins, more than 80% of enrolled customers on the mobile app, 10.3 million mobile-wallet transactions and 189,700 Zelle customers in 2025. First Hawaiian launched a new app in July 2025 with an in-app chatbot, budgeting tool and in-app account opening but publishes no usage figures.[1][15]

How does Bank of Hawaii's AI governance compare with CVB's and Bank of Hope's?

All three put AI rules in writing. Bank of Hawaii's framework has policies, oversight committees and ethical review protocols, and its board devotes significant time to AI oversight. CVB's AI Policy is run by a six-seat AI Governance Council chaired by its COO. Bank of Hope's board policy bars AI use until each tool is vetted and approved.[1][16][11][73][10]

What changed at Bank of Hawaii in 2026 that matters for AI?

A new CEO. James Polk succeeded Peter Ho on April 1, 2026; Ho had called AI a dramatic operational shift whose outcomes he could not fully predict. The FY2025 10-K, filed February 24, 2026, added the bank's first stand-alone AI risk factor. Polk's first call cited AI governance and use cases aimed at operating leverage.[27][81][2][6]
