University of Hawai`i Federal Credit Union opening new branch at Mānoa Marketplace
HONOLULU, HI (June 21, 2023) — The University of Hawai`i Federal Credit Union (UHFCU) is opening a new branch in Kapolei Commons – with its Grand Opening celebration scheduled for Wednesday, June 21. The new location is a full-service branch that offers access to UHFCU’s full suite of financial products and services, including checking, savings, and loans.
“We’re thrilled about opening our fourth branch! Our other branches generally surround the UH Manoa campus, so we’re excited to be able to serve the Kapolei area as well as UH West Oahu students, faculty, staff, and their families,” said UHFCU President and CEO Travis Bow. “Although we have a small footprint, we offer full-service banking and significant value in terms of lower fees, better rates, and “Hawaii’s Best” local service. In addition to the branch, we recently launched cutting-edge Online and Mobile Banking services, which have garnered outstanding reviews on the app stores. We also boast the strongest Yelp scores of any of the local, large credit unions and banks – by far. And we’re proud to support a budding artist and UH Manoa student-athlete, Rachel Radona, who painted our one-of-a-kind mural. There’s a lot of value and expertise packed in that branch.”
The new branch features a modern, open design complete with the latest in technology, including an interactive mural for visitors to explore as they enter. The progressive design intends to create a collaborative and comfortable environment instead of a more traditional, formal setting. Beginning June 21, UHFCU will offer special-rate Certificates as well as exclusive loan discounts, contests, and giveaways – including a Hilton Hawaiian Staycation prize.
“We are committed to serving the UH System and local community, and we have developed a reputation as a trusted financial partner over the past 68 years,” Bow continued. “We offer products and services tailored to Hawai`i residents and encourage all community members to visit and explore the money-saving benefits that credit unions offer as not-for-profit cooperatives and full-service alternatives to banks. The chances are that most people are eligible to bank with us; however, even if you are not, come take a look and see how progressive and valuable a credit union can be – for all walks of life.”
