Emi Au, 34 First vice president, director of financial planning & analysis, American Savings Bank

ASB June 09, 2017 | 5 min read N/A
           

 

If you asked Emi Au what she thought her career path would look like while still a high school student in Southern California, she probably would have said veterinary school was part of the plan.

But after witnessing her first euthanasia as a vet’s assistant in high school, she realized the profession wasn’t for her.

“Accounting classes really clicked for me,” she told Pacific Business News, when asked what her backup plan was.

The numbers game was a fit for Au, who started her career with Accuity LLP in 2005, eventually landing leadership roles at three of Hawaii’s major financial institutions, First Hawaiian Bank, Central Pacific Bank, and her current role as first vice president, director of financial planning and analysis at American Savings Bank.

At American Savings Bank, Au oversees a team of six and is responsible for the annual operating budget for the bank, conducting quarterly forecasting and managing risk reports.

Au’s leadership skills have been recognized outside of the ASB offices, as she was part of the inaugural cohort of the Patsy T. Mink Leadership Alliance, a six-month program that looks to grow and develop the leadership skills of emerging professional female leaders.

Au also lends her financial expertise to several nonprofits, where she serves as a board member and treasurer of Junior Achievement Hawaii, as well as a board member and finance committee member of the YWCA of Oahu.

While a career as a veterinarian was ultimately not in the cards for Au, she still finds the time to engage in what she calls a passion of hers.

“I’m big on animal rights,” she said, adding she volunteers at the Hawaiian Humane Society, where she educates youth about foster care, as well as takes on the role of foster mom to rescue kittens.

Tips To Help You Avoid Overdrafts

  • Watch your balance. Accurately track the money you deposit into and withdraw from your account. You can do this using a paper register or electronically through Online Banking. Remember to track your ATM withdrawals and transfers, debit card purchases, bills that get deducted electronically from your account, and the checks that you write. You may want to consider keeping a “cushion” of funds in your account to help prevent unintended overdrafts.
  • Apply for an overdraft protection option that could automatically help protect your account from being overdrawn.
  • Enroll in Online Banking and use it to quickly access and monitor your balance and account activity.
  • Keep in mind that any balance we provide may not be the amount that is actually available in your account to spend – there may be transactions that have not yet reached the bank such as checks, automatic payments, merchant holds (for point-of-sale transactions) and deposits in process. (Please note that some payment authorization systems allow merchants to ask for an authorization for an amount that is more or less than the actual transaction (for example, a gas station submits an authorization for $75 even though the actual gas purchase is $42), so with point-of-sale transactions, we may hold funds in your account per the merchant’s direction.)
  • Sign Up for eAlerts through Online Banking to warn you when your account balance falls below a dollar amount you choose.
  • Verify automatic deposits you’re expecting have been credited to your account.
  • Review and reconcile your checking account statement every month.

American Savings Bank reveals interior renderings of new Honolulu headquarters: Slideshow

ASB February 16, 2017 | 5 min read N/A

American Savings Bank released interior renderings of its future headquarters to PBN on Thursday, giving a sneak peek at the 373,00-square-foot, 11-story building planned for the block at 300 N. Beretania St., the site of the company’s new campus.

The bank said approximately 600 of its employees will work out of the new headquarters, which will include 166,000 square feet of office space. The bank broke ground on the project on Saturday.

This rendering shows the exterior of American Savings Bank's new Honolulu headquarters

Rich Wacker, ASB president and CEO, said the new headquarters will help improve communication between ASB’s employees.

“The campus is a facility, but it’s not about the facility,” he told Pacific Business News. “It’s about that culture of what we’re trying to create and the ability to get the whole team together and working without a gap, for that mission that we have.”

The building, which will be located across from Aala Park, close to Chinatown, will bring employees from five different locations under one roof.

“We’ve gotten it down to five, but we’re going to get it to one,” Wacker said on centralizing the bank’s headquarters. “That’s the essence of what we need to do — that seamless teamwork and everyone being part of the engagement that we want to have. We’re excited about it. It’s really a game changer for is.”

The bank, which paid $12 million for the 62,595-square-foot vacant lot, expects the campus to be completed in 18 to 24 months.

Nordic PCL is the general contractor, with the facility’s exterior and interior design by Leo A Daly and ZGF Architects.
