About Coastal

Coastal Community Bank (operating under coastalbank.com, legally Coastal Financial Corporation) is the premier, enterprise-grade hybrid commercial bank, Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) pioneer, and embedded finance orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-velocity developer-centric financial services, regulated program oversight, and localized community banking layer for major technology platforms, fast-growing fintechs, and consumers across the United States. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Everett, Washington, the publicly traded institution (NASDAQ: CCB) completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern fintech infrastructure—where digital brands struggle to secure regulated bank sponsorships, navigate complex federal compliance guidelines, and build scalable debit, credit, and ledger integrations with legacy banking systems—by deploying its high-performance "CCBX" partner division. Moving far beyond traditional, localized regional banks or passive, low-tech credit unions, Coastal Community Bank natively unifies relationship-driven physical branch operations (supporting Snohomish, Island, and King counties), virtual card issuance, developer-first ledger APIs, high-yield deposit sweeping, and strict automated regulatory compliance oversight into a single high-availability hybrid banking ecosystem. Serving as the underlying, regulated engine behind major national digital brands and fintech leaders—including Dave, Pliant, and Bluevine—the platform's CCBX segment drives the bulk of its modern revenue growth, scaling to manage over $4.7 billion in total banking assets. Under the hood, its technology core utilizes advanced machine-learning transaction-monitoring modules, robust third-party risk management (TPRM) frameworks, real-time ledger accounting APIs, and secure Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance engines designed to support millions of nationwide accounts with flawless operational control, regulatory safety, and FDIC-insured structural protection. What sets Coastal Community Bank apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing fragmented, low-signal traditional sponsor banking with absolute transactional clarity, deep regulatory collaboration, and flexible digital-first agility; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive financial software engineering and the highly regulated realities of modern banking charters, the corporation remains the definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic embedded finance and global banking transformation.
