About The Company
For years Canadians have been told by their financial institutions that they can achieve their dreams. But for a lot of us, the things we’re dreaming about shouldn’t be dreams at all. We just want to be able to afford a house and make it a home. Fix that car that needs fixing. Or just have a little extra at the end of the month. That’s why at Coast Capital, we’re helping our members achieve their real goals - the ones that matter right now. Because if it matters to you, it matters to us. Real advice, for real people, from real people, so you can live the real life you want. At Coast Capital, we’re not dreaming of a better future, we’re building one. It’s what we’ve been doing for over 80 years, and it’s why today we stand almost 600,000 members strong. Plus, we invest 10% of our budgeted profits into our community—almost $90M since 2000 alone—because when our members do well, our communities should do well. So if you’re looking to do traditional work with a traditional bank, we’re probably not for you. But if you want to roll up your sleeves and play an active role in building a better future for our members and our communities, we think you’ll really like it here.
