HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union Invests in Education and Community Financial Health
HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union is guided by the belief that financial wellness is the foundation for resilient communities and brighter futures.
With this mission, the credit union continues to expand its community reach through personalized coaching, educational programs, and community partnerships that make financial wellness accessible across Hawaii.
HawaiiUSA’s 66 certified financial coaches have worked with thousands of members and employees, offering free one-on-one support in areas such as budgeting, debt reduction, savings and homeownership preparation. This effort underscores the credit union’s commitment to helping members achieve lasting financial stability.
Education remains central to HawaiiUSA’s outreach. For over 30 years, the credit union has supported student-operated credit unions at schools like Waipahu High School, where students learn real-world skills by managing financial transactions, mentoring peers, and promoting positive money habits. These student-run branches serve as living classrooms that help young people gain confidence and responsibility while broadening access to financial literacy within their school communities.
Building on this legacy, HawaiiUSA also invests in Hawaii’s educators and future leaders through scholarships for post-high and graduate students, classroom stipends, and tuition assistance for teachers enrolled in Chaminade University’s Financial Literacy Education Program. By equipping teachers with the tools to integrate personal finance into K–12 classrooms, HawaiiUSA ensures financial education reaches even more students statewide. These investments reflect a deep belief that empowering both students and educators creates lasting, generational impact.
HawaiiUSA extends this mission to vulnerable and underserved populations through partnerships with nonprofits such as the Alzheimer’s Association and the Domestic Violence Action Center. These collaborations deliver financial wellness workshops, fundraising, and social enterprise opportunities that provide both education and tangible support for families navigating difficult circumstances.
With 13 branches statewide and a growing digital footprint, HawaiiUSA continues to evolve how people bank and how they thrive. More than a credit union, they are a community partner who actively and consistently builds pathways to financial resilience. By ensuring financial wellness is inclusive, sustainable, and rooted in care, HawaiiUSA strengthens both its members and Hawaii as a whole.
