Next Steps :
Opening a Bank Account
Once your application is reviewed and you qualify for the BUILD Program, a bank account will need to be opened at either the Ala Moana or Kahala Bank of Hawaii locations. Since this is a special account (with no fees), the applicant needs to open the account with the BUILD Program Manager.
Check In / Financial Education
Once your account is established, there will be a check in every 4 to 6 weeks either in person, by phone or via video conference to:
1. See how you are doing with your savings goals.
2. Discuss challenges we might be able to assist with such as housing, SNAP benefits, job placement, etc.
