The Bank of Hawaii Visa Credit Card is best known as a no-frills, no-annual-fee option with simple rewards and occasional intro bonuses. It doesn’t try to be flashy with travel perks or premium benefits — it’s more about everyday spending and basic value.
Most users say they like the straightforward setup: no annual fee, easy approval for locals, and steady 1x rewards on purchases. Many reviewers also appreciate the occasional signup bonus and the fact that it’s tied to a well-known regional bank with solid customer service.
On the downside, users often complain that the rewards rate is nothing special, especially compared to national cash-back cards. High APRs after the intro period and costly cash advances are also common pain points.
Personally, I think this card works best for Bank of Hawaii loyalists who want a simple, low-maintenance card. If you’re chasing high rewards or premium travel perks, you’ll likely find better value elsewhere.
I got this card while planning frequent trips to see family in Honolulu, and it's quietly become one of my most reliable cards. The travel perks fit my routine, and customer service has been consistently friendly and quick to fix issues.
