First Hawaiian Bank is Hawaii's oldest bank, founded in Honolulu in 1858 and held today by First Hawaiian, Inc. (NASDAQ: FHB), with about $24 billion in assets and branches across Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan. It was part of BancWest under BNP Paribas for years, then went public in 2016 and became fully independent in early 2019. If you run a business or personal account here and keep your books in QuickBooks, upload a First Hawaiian Bank PDF statement at the top of this page to get a clean .QBO file.
The converter turns a First Hawaiian Bank PDF statement into a .qbo Web Connect file that imports into QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, along with matching Excel and CSV copies. Every transaction keeps its date, description, and amount, and the parsed total is checked against the statement total before you export. This page covers how First Hawaiian works with QuickBooks, how it differs from Bank of Hawaii, and how to import the file.
Built for the statements US banks actually send, checked before it exports.
The converter adds up the transactions it parsed and matches that to the statement total before you export, so nothing is silently dropped.
Valid OFX 1.02 with QuickBooks Web Connect headers. Online and Desktop import it as a standard bank feed.
OCR runs before parsing, so a scanned or photographed paper statement comes out the same as a digital PDF.
Bulk upload for catch-up and cleanup work. Each file gets its own reconciliation check and its own exports.
Enter the password on upload. Multi-column and multi-page statement layouts are parsed too.
One conversion, three files: the .qbo for QuickBooks, an XLSX to review, and a CSV for everything else.
Three steps. No column-mapping wizard.
Drag in a PDF, a scan, or a phone photo. Password-protected and multi-page files are fine.
Every transaction is extracted and checked against the statement total. You see the parsed rows before exporting.
Download the .qbo and import it as a Web Connect bank feed. Excel and CSV are in the same download.

Yes. First Hawaiian Bank publishes its own Quicken and QuickBooks support page and documents three connection methods: Web Connect, Express Web Connect, and Direct Connect. Direct Connect has been free since September 1, 2023, but you first generate a Client UID inside FHB Online under Services, then Direct Connect Registration. So a live feed is available for most accounts. Converting the PDF statement to a .qbo file is still the reliable fallback when a feed breaks, when you need history from a closed account, or when a business login will not authenticate through QuickBooks.
The most common reasons are a stalled aggregated feed and the previous-business-day data limit. Downloaded balance and transaction data from First Hawaiian Bank reflects activity only as of the prior business day, so today's items will not appear until the feed refreshes. Express Web Connect links can also drop after an online-banking platform update and need a deactivate and reconnect, and Direct Connect requires that Client UID before it will link at all. Rather than chase a feed, download the statement as a PDF and convert it: the file holds every transaction the bank printed, with no Client UID or re-enrollment needed.
No. First Hawaiian Bank (fhb.com, founded 1858) and Bank of Hawaii (boh.com, NYSE: BOH) are separate, competing Honolulu banks, and Central Pacific Bank is a third. They are easy to mix up from the mainland, but each has its own QuickBooks listing, so search for the exact name and website. If you bank with Bank of Hawaii instead, use our Bank of Hawaii statement to QuickBooks page. The converter on this page reads First Hawaiian Bank statements specifically, though it handles any bank's PDF the same way.
Sign in to FHB Online, go to Services, then eStatements, pick the account and the month you want, and save or print the document as a PDF. First Hawaiian keeps eStatements going back to 2022 and stores them for up to seven years, so you can pull older months for catch-up bookkeeping. Business customers use FHB Online Business, where statements sit under the same documents area. The converter reads any of these PDFs the same way, so a recent month and an older one both produce a clean .qbo file.
Convert the First Hawaiian Bank PDF to a .qbo file with the converter above, then import that file. In QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions, then Bank transactions, then Upload from file, and select the .qbo. In QuickBooks Desktop, use File, Utilities, Import, Web Connect Files. QuickBooks asks which account the transactions belong to and routes them into the banking review queue for matching and categorizing, the same way a live feed would. The workflow is identical whether the statement is a recent one or pulled from the seven-year archive.
Yes, First Hawaiian Bank offers a native export. Open an account in FHB Online, go to the Transactions tab, choose the export icon, and select QuickBooks (.qbo) or Quicken (.qfx). That works when the export covers the exact date range you need and the data is current. The catch is the previous-business-day limit and the fact that the export pulls only what is currently visible online, so when you need a clean, complete copy of a specific statement period, converting the PDF statement is the steadier path because it captures every line the bank printed for that cycle.
First Hawaiian Bank statements list transactions in date order with a description and an amount, separating deposits and credits from checks, withdrawals, and service charges, with a beginning and ending balance. The converter ignores the summary boxes, daily balance tables, fee schedules, and marketing inserts, so only real transactions reach your .qbo file. It reads both personal and FHB Online Business statements, and it handles scanned or photographed statements through OCR the same way it reads a digital PDF.
Accuracy is the part that matters most, because a converter that quietly drops or misreads a transaction costs far more time than it saves. The error usually surfaces during reconciliation, sometimes weeks later, while you chase a few dollars across a long register. This converter totals the transactions it parsed and checks that figure against the statement total before it lets you export, so the .qbo you import reflects every line First Hawaiian Bank printed. You review the parsed rows in the preview first, then export once the numbers tie out.
