Updates and News

We started Island Snow in 1979, with just a single location in International Marketplace. Shave ice is pretty labor intensive so we incorporated clothing sales as well, and it worked.

We started our engineering consultancy in 2011, and when we were doing our business plan we reached out to a friend we knew at Central Pacific Bank who really helped. They got us started with an account, a line of credit, but probably most importantly, good business advice for our new company.

We had been at both of the big banks — for decades — but no one ever seemed to care that we were there. Every year or so our loan officer would change, so there was never any continuity.

Central Pacific Bank (CPB), in collaboration with Chef Hui, announces the results of the Meals 4 Maui fundraising campaign, that provided locally sourced nutritious meals to residents impacted by the Maui wildfires, while supporting local small businesses and farmers.

Central Pacific Bank (CPB) is proud to be named to the 2024 list of America’s Best Regional Banks and Credit Unions by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, which recognizes CPB as one of the best regional banks in the nation for its exceptional customer service, digital banking tools, and financial resources available to the community.

At Central Pacific Bank, we strongly believe in promoting a safe and supportive environment for all.
