Eligibility

Minimum age18+
Existing customersEligible

New and existing Bank of Hawaii customers can earn it, unless they have received another savings offer in 2024 or later.

Other restrictions
  • Bank of Hawaii has offices in Hawaii, Guam, Saipan (Northern Mariana Islands) and Palau. Its application asks for your location first, and we have not confirmed it accepts anyone outside those areas.
  • One bonus per account and per customer. If an account is jointly owned, the bonus counts for both owners.
  • Bankohana Bonus Rate Savings also qualifies but needs a Bankohana checking account with a $500 deposit. Bankohana Bonus Rate Savings Plus does not qualify.

Tips & Gotchas

  • One day under your tier from day 31 through day 90 voids the bonus, so leave a cushion above the line.
  • Choose Regular Savings or Bonus Rate Savings. Bankohana Bonus Rate Savings also qualifies but needs a Bankohana checking account with a $500 deposit.
  • The account earns 0.01% APY, so the bonus is nearly all you earn on the money. Closing within 180 days costs $40.
  • If you received another Bank of Hawaii savings offer in 2024 or later, you are not eligible.
