Central Pacific Bank $(CPB)$, a subsidiary of Central Pacific Financial Corporation, has entered into a strategic partnership with The Kyoto Shinkin Bank (KSB) of Japan. The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to strengthen economic ties between Hawaii and Japan by providing enhanced business opportunities and support for customers of both banks. The partnership will facilitate resources and services for businesses and individuals seeking to expand or establish operations across the Pacific. Both CPB and KSB share a community-focused philosophy, and the partnership is expected to foster long-term mutual growth. KSB customers visiting Hawaii will have access to CPB's Main Branch facilities in Honolulu, with further joint programs and services planned for the future.
