Advertiser Staff

Bank of Hawaii remained the largest bank in the state in the first half of this year, narrowly edging out First Hawaiian Bank.

The state's Division of Financial Institutions said Bank of Hawaii had $9.59 billion in assets, compared with $9.36 billion at rival First Hawaiian as of June 30. American Savings Bank, the third-largest financial institution with $6.2 billion in assets, was not on the list because it is a federal savings bank.

Among the four state-chartered banks, Central Pacific Bank is No. 3 with $2.07 billion in assets, followed by City Bank with $1.69 billion.
