The organization solidified its position as the largest credit union lender in Hawaii with record growth in commercial and consumer loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC), while also seeing a bump in membership that took the credit union past the 100,000 mark.

100,370 total members, a 6 percent increase from 94,695 at the end of 2016

“As a not-for-profit financial institution owned by our members, our focus on demonstrating the credit union value has helped bring our membership count to more than 100,000,” said Andrew Rosen, president and CEO of Hawaii State FCU. “We are also pleased to see demand for our loan products remain strong, and are especially proud of the fivefold increase our commercial loan division has achieved in one year, which speaks to the high value our flexible loans provide to local businesses.”
