“With voice-driven technology playing a bigger role in people’s lives, the time was right to introduce voice banking into that mix.”

Fiserv Digital Banking president Kevin Schultz said: “As a customer-focused bank, First Hawaiian has earned a reputation for exceptional service.

“Voice banking is another way the bank is expanding that spirit of service and connecting with customers through intelligent interactions that reflect how people live today.”

Established in 1858 as Bishop & Co., First Hawaiian Bank is one of the largest banking companies in the island state with assets of $20.2bn.
