New Flagship ASB Branch Opens on Maui

American Savings Bank on Friday opened a new flagship branch on Maui at the Maui Business Park, 150 Hookele St.

In addition to the Kahului facility, the bank recently opened a branch in Kapolei. ASB has additional development projects underway, including the construction of a new branch to serve the Kalihi community and a new campus in downtown Honolulu that will house 600 employees from five locations on Oahu. The Oahu campus also will include a bank branch.

ASB expects to complete construction on the Oahu campus near the end of this year with the opening set for early 2019.

Kahu Laki Ka’ahumanu and Rich Wacker, president and CEO of American Savings Bank, shake hands during a blessing ceremony at the new bank location Friday in Kahului. The bank celebrated the opening of its flagship, $6.5 million branch at 150 Hookele St. at the Maui Business Park, across from Target and in front of Lowe’s Home Improvement. The bank is open seven days a week. The 1.5-acre lot was purchased from A&B in December 2014 for $4 million. 

As part of its grand opening, the bank donated $3,000 to Partners in Development Foundation, a nonprofit that uses Native Hawaiian values and traditions to develop programs for at-risk groups in the community.

American Savings Bank on Friday celebrated the grand opening of its new flagship location on the island of Maui. The Kahului Campus is located in the Maui Business Park, across from Target and in front of Lowe’s Home Improvement at 150 Ho‘okele Street.

“We are pleased to welcome the Maui community to our brand new campus in Kahului,” said Rich Wacker, president and CEO of ASB. “At ASB, we understand that our customers are busy and working hard. This is why we are committed to making banking easy by investing in our branches and facilities, such as our new flagship location on Maui.”

The Kahului Campus features a brand new branch with a two-lane drive-through teller line, ample parking and convenient hours, open seven days a week. The branch team is led by branch manager Aaron Acpal and assistant branch manager Danell Kanae.

ASB’s Kahului Campus also includes training facilities, with a breakroom and outdoor lanai, available to all bank teammates on the island. The building is the first on Maui designed fromthe ground up to feature View Dynamic Glass, a digitally connected glass that intelligently tints to control glare and heat to create a more comfortable environment for customers and teammates.

Proclamations were also provided by the Office of the Governor and the Maui Senate Delegation.

During the grand opening celebration, ASB announced a charitable donation of $3,000 to Partners in Development Foundation, a local nonprofit that has made an impact on the Valley Isle and throughout the state of Hawai‘i for over 20 years. PIDF inspires and equips communities for success using Native Hawaiian values and traditions by developing and implementing programs to address the needs of at-risk groups within the community.
