Yes, Bank of America operates in Hawaii with branches and ATMs across the islands

Bank of America has a physical presence in Hawaii, with branches located on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. The largest concentration is in Honolulu, where you'll find multiple branches in neighborhoods like Downtown, Waikiki, and Kailua. If you're moving to Hawaii, transferring money there, or visiting and need to access your account in person, you can find BofA locations without leaving the state.

The number and location of branches changes over time as the bank adjusts its footprint. Your best move is to check the Bank of America branch locator on their website or call 1-800-432-1000 to confirm current hours and services at the specific location you plan to visit. Some branches offer full services (deposits, loans, investment advice), while others are limited-service locations.

  • You can find current branch addresses, hours, and available services using the Bank of America branch locator tool on their website.

How to find the nearest Bank of America location

The Bank of America website has a branch and ATM locator tool. Go to bankofamerica.com, click "Locations," enter your Hawaii address or the area you'll be in, and the tool will show you every branch and ATM within your search radius. The results include hours, phone numbers, and which services each location offers.

You can also call 1-800-432-1000 and speak to someone who can tell you about branches near you and answer questions about services. If you're planning a move to Hawaii or a long stay, calling ahead is worth the time—you can ask whether your specific banking needs (like business accounts, investment services, or notary services) are available at the location closest to you.

What services are available at Hawaii branches

Most Bank of America branches in Hawaii offer standard retail banking: checking and savings accounts, debit cards, wire transfers, cashier's checks, and notary services. Larger branches in Honolulu typically have loan officers, investment advisors, and mortgage specialists on staff. Smaller branches may handle deposits and withdrawals but refer you to a phone line or online portal for more complex services.

If you need a specific service—like opening a business account, applying for a mortgage, or setting up investment accounts—confirm that the branch you're visiting offers it before you go. Many services can also be started online or over the phone, which may be faster than visiting in person.

Using Bank of America ATMs across Hawaii

Bank of America ATMs are more widely distributed than branches. You'll find them at Honolulu International Airport, in shopping centers, grocery stores, and retail locations across all the major islands. ATMs let you withdraw cash, deposit checks, transfer money between accounts, and check your balance without visiting a branch.

If you use an ATM that is not owned by Bank of America, you may be charged a fee by both your bank and the ATM operator. Bank of America's own ATMs are free for account holders. If you travel frequently between islands or to remote areas, download the Bank of America mobile app so you can find ATMs before you need them.

Banking online and by phone if no branch is nearby

You don't need a physical branch to handle most banking in Hawaii. Bank of America's website and mobile app let you check balances, transfer money, pay bills, deposit checks by photo, and manage accounts from anywhere. Customer service is available by phone at 1-800-432-1000, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If you're moving to Hawaii and want to open a new account, you can do that online without visiting a branch. If you need to deposit cash or get a cashier's check, you'll need an ATM or branch, but for everything else—payments, transfers, account changes—the phone and app are usually faster than waiting in line.

What to do if you're moving to Hawaii with a Bank of America account

If you already have a Bank of America account on the mainland, you don't need to close it or open a new one when you move to Hawaii. Your account works the same way. You can use any Bank of America ATM in Hawaii to withdraw cash, and you can handle all account management online or by phone.

If you want to visit a branch to update your address, set up direct deposit for a new job, or discuss other services, you can do that at any Hawaii location. Bring a government-issued ID and your account number or the card linked to the account. Updating your address online through the app or website is also an option and takes just a few minutes.
