Core Conversion

Hawaii Federal Credit Union Core Conversion

Hawaii Federal Credit Union is excited to announce that we are upgrading to a new core banking system on Thursday, April 1, 2021.

Our core banking system is the computer software responsible for primary credit union functions such as handling deposits and withdrawals, processing loan payments, and online and mobile banking, to name a few.

Improving Our Service to You

Upgrading our core system will position Hawaii FCU for the future by introducing new technology that will enable us to expand our services and improve processing efficiency to better serve our members. While the changes will primarily affect our internal departments, members may notice some differences in our online and mobile banking, and a new look to monthly statements.

Core Conversion Schedule and Services

The conversion will affect credit union operations from 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 31 until 1 p.m. Friday, April 2.  Hawaii FCU will be closed and Shared Branch services will be unavailable during this period. In addition, limits will be placed on Debit Card and ATM transactions during this time frame.  Members are encouraged to complete their banking and withdraw needed cash by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31.

Online banking will not be available until Friday, April 2nd at approximately 1 pm and mobile banking will not be available until Saturday, April 3rd at approximately 9 am.
