Coastal Financial Corp is a Washington-based bank holding company whose main operating subsidiary serves the Puget Sound region through community banking and digital banking channels. The company runs two distinct businesses: a traditional community bank focused on commercial real estate, consumer, residential, and small business lending, and a Banking-as-a-Service platform called CCBX that provides banking infrastructure to digital financial services partners across the United States. Its model combines relationship-based local banking with a technology-enabled partner channel that expands its reach beyond its branch footprint. The bank relies on core deposits, partner-generated deposits, and wholesale funding to support loan growth. Coastal’s business is shaped by regional economic conditions in Washington and by regulatory, operational, and compliance demands tied to its CCBX relationships.
