Tri Counties, a 50-year California staple with 75 branches, brings deep community ties and a local-first ethos. Existing First Hawaiian customers can expect continuity: same bankers, same service. The merger, valued at $34 billion, awaits regulatory and shareholder approval but is on track to close by year’s end, positioning the bank for stronger lending, broader services, and enhanced tech—all while staying true to its roots.
