Finance Factors' New Manoa Branch Opens March 2

Finance Factors, Ltd. announced today that its new Manoa Branch will open for business on Monday, March 2, 2009.  The Manoa location will be the financial institution’s 14th branch in Hawaii.  In celebration, Finance Factors is offering prize drawings throughout the month of March, including weekly $50 gift drawings and a grand prize worth $500.  No purchase is necessary, and those interested should visit the branch for details.

“Finance Factors has been looking to expand into Manoa for a while, and we are thrilled to see the branch finally come to fruition,” said Steven Teruya, president of Finance Factors.  “This is the third branch we have opened in the past six months, and with the new locations in Manoa, Chinatown and Liliha, we are able to better serve the people of Oahu with our great products and customer service.”

Employees Rayna Kishida, Leila Villanueva and Selina Guittap are excited to serve customers at the Manoa Branch and they welcome both new and existing customers to Finance Factors.

The new branch is located at 2955 East Manoa Road, in the new Finance Factors Manoa Center, which is also home to Bangkok Chef and Ducky’s Korean restaurants.  Branch hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Just like Finance Factors’ Liliha Branch, which opened last October, the Manoa Branch will offer customers safe deposit boxes, and it will be eco-friendly.  A photovoltaic (PV) system has been installed at the Manoa Branch by Suntech Hawaii.  The PV systems will supply the Manoa Branch with 80 to 90 percent of its electrical needs.
