We're beyond thrilled to share some incredible news - Central Pacific Bank customers (including us!) have won an amazing 13 out of 17 Top Small Business Awards from the U.S. Small Business Administration Hawaii Pacific-Islands District Office. As a proud CPB customer, it's no surprise to see so many of us being recognized. The bank has been there for us every step of the way, providing not just financial support but real partnership in helping local businesses thrive.

From Maui to Honolulu, Kauai to the Big Island, CPB customers are showing what makes Hawaii business special. The winners include everything from innovative healthcare providers and sustainable energy companies to beloved local eateries and family-owned operations. It's inspiring to be part of such an accomplished group of local entrepreneurs who are shaping Hawaii's future.

Having a strong relationship with your bank is crucial for any business, and we couldn't be more grateful for our partnership with CPB. Special thanks to our amazing banker, Stacey Suzui, who nominated us for this recognition.
