History Of HFC Bank<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]During our tenure, we have consistently attempted to provide innovative and competitive financial solutions.<\/p>\n

We choose to honour those who made efforts in our past and those clientele with whom we toiled side-by-side in helping fill homes and grow businesses. Times are much different now, but our agenda is remarkably still the same.<\/p>\n

From its core business focus as the provider of Home Lending facilities, HFC Bank has re-strategized its business, in line with emerging market demands and shareholder expectations, to offer fully-fledged banking solutions with quality products and services including Transactional deposit account, Insurance, Term Deposits, Personal Loans and selected Business Lending facilities within its niche\u2019 market segment.<\/p>\n

HFC Bank is a Licensed Banking Institution supervised by the Reserve Bank of Fiji that allows it to accept deposits and provide lending facilities to its customers.<\/p>\n

A Brief History<\/span><\/h2>\n

FDC had an initial shareholding of 67% and Fiji Government had 33%.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”1971″ tab_id=”1751934681000-2734430b-f4c2″][vc_column_text css=””]In March 1971, FDC and Fiji Government acquired equal shares (50% each)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”1979″ tab_id=”1751934680506-ce72b4c7-ec1d”][vc_column_text css=””]Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) became a third equal shareholder in HFC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”1987″ tab_id=”1751934678887-cce885c9-0a4f”][vc_column_text css=””]Unit Trust of Fiji (UTF) became a fourth shareholder.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”1989″ tab_id=”1751934755834-9c8616d3-f435″][vc_column_text css=””]May 1989, all shareholders had equal shares.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”1995″ tab_id=”1751934752508-ca64f50f-c4f9″][vc_column_text css=””]In December 1995 Fiji Government sold its 25% shares to FNPF making FNPF a major shareholder at 50% with FDC maintaining management rights of HFC, under agreement by all shareholders.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”2002″ tab_id=”1751934804446-ab7ccba8-e6eb”][vc_column_text css=””]In January 2002 FDC decided to sell its interest in HFC. FNPF, exercising its rights to purchase FDC\u2019s 25% shares, extended its major shareholding capacity to 75%.<\/p>\n

Home Finance Company Limited has always been known to the people of Fiji as just a home loan provider. In 2002, the company decided to change this perception by changing its image in the market. As a result, the company went through a transformation phase to stamp its mark as more than just a loan provider. The company also changed its logo to a more vibrant look.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-solid fa-calendar” add_icon=”true” title=”2014″ tab_id=”1751934801444-2302d5e9-cf1d”][vc_column_text css=””]With six branches Fiji wide, in March 2014 HFC transitioned to offer fully-fledged banking services. HFC Bank is the only 100% local bank with 75% shares owned by FNPF and 25% owned by Unit Trust of Fiji. The company went through a complete re branding and positioned itself as a one-stop financial solution provider with its vision: To Be Fiji\u2019s Bank of Choice by Serving its People with Innovative Financial Solutions.<\/p>\n

Today, HFC Bank provides a range of quality deposit and lending products with ATM network across the country, Internet Banking and Mobile Banking facilities and Interchange agreement for that added convenience.<\/p>\n

We are proud that we are totally Fiji-owned. Our focus is to provide our customers with excellent products and serving our people with innovative financial solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”bod”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\"\"<\/p>\n
