PAHOA, Hawaii—The lava flow on the Big Island here that has forced people from their homes and closed roads has slowed, allowing CU Hawaii to re-open a branch that it had previously closed.
The branch, located in the Pāhoa Marketplace, was closed on Dec. 18 and some equipment was moved out of the office.
But with the lava flow no longer an immediate threat to the Marketplace, the Pahoa branch will re-open with limited services effective today, Jan. 12.
“Until we receive an evacuation notice from Civil Defense, members who utilize our Pāhoa Branch may obtain cash from the ATM and conduct other transaction services through the remote teller station units,” said President Kurt Alicuben. “Members will be able to purchase negotiable instruments, such as cashier checks, money orders, and temporary checks. We can also open new accounts and take loan applications one member at a time.”
Services such as notary, signature guarantees, account reconciliation, wire transfer, and plastic card re-pinning will not be available at the Pāhoa Branch, but will be available at other branches.
