Bank of Hawaii's Waikiki Branch occupies the ground floor of the Waikiki Galleria Tower at Kalakaua and Seaside, the most prominent banking address in the visitor district. Founded in 1897, Bank of Hawaii is one of the state's two largest financial institutions and offers a full menu of services at this branch: personal and business checking, savings, foreign currency exchange, wire transfers, safe-deposit boxes, notary, and loan officers on site. A 24-hour ATM vestibule out front serves visitors after hours, and the branch is one of the few places in Waikiki where international travelers can convert yen, won, and Canadian dollars without resorting to airport rates. Lobby hours run weekdays plus Saturday morning. Tourists use it primarily for cash and currency; locals come for the in-person banker appointments.
"Convenient location right on Kalakaua with a 24-hour ATM lobby. Came in to exchange currency and was helped quickly. Easy when you're staying nearby."
