FHB Warning Public of Phishing Scams

First Hawaiian Bank is alerting the public of fraudulent email, text, and robocalls currently being circulated that states that their account is limited and directs them to call or click on a link to provide their account information. These messages did not originate from the bank. To protect your account, delete, hang up and do not respond to fraudulent text, emails and phone calls. Customers should always make sure that they are using a secure and authentic phone number or Internet address to access account information. Continue to monitor your account and contact the bank immediately if you suspect any fraudulent activity.
