Open Payment Network Participates in FHB Town Hall

Panel of real-time payment experts includes OPN founder and CEO Bradley Wilkes.

September 15, 2021 (Honolulu, Hawaii) – As part of its drive to make real-time payments a reality in Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank (FHB) hosted a Town Hall meeting with its commercial customers to provide education and increase awareness of real-time payments. Presenters at the meeting included real-time payment expert and OPN CEO Bradley Wilkes, Bridge Community Bank CEO Bob Steen, and MACHA/PAR CEO Mary Gilmeister.

“We are proud to work directly with the largest Hawaiian financial Institution to bring the newest innovative payment system to the market,” said Bradley Wilkes, CEO of Open Payment Network. “We look forward to supplying the best security practices to the solution so that every transaction is protected.”

As the need for real-time payments continues to grow, Open Payment Network has taken the lead in creating a solution where people can send and receive instant payments without limitations of time or network and regardless of a financial institution’s size.

“We are happy to work with Open Payment Network in our effort to help First Hawaiian Bank bring real-time payments to its customers,” said Mary Gilmeister, CEO of MACHA/PAR. “After hearing how OPN can work with the RTP network to increase efficiency for financial institution customers, we were excited to have a front-row seat at the emergence of this new payment category.”

Real-time payments are next-generation payments being facilitated by The Clearing House (TCH) and the Federal Reserve. OPN provides interoperability between these two networks, providing solutions for small- and medium-sized financial institutions.
