BancWest earnings up

Advertiser Staff

BancWest Corp., the parent of First Hawaiian Bank, revised its net income for 2002 up about 1 percent, or $3.7 million, to $361.3 million.

The increase was due to "a technical accounting change related to the internal financing of last year's acquisition of United California Bank," the bank said.

BancWest is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paris-based BNP Paribas.
