About Us
Coastline Credit Union - Where your Goals are ours
For over 40 years, Coastline have been providing its Members with the same banking services that any bank can, but with one important difference - we exist solely to support the people who live and work in our community.
Our promise is on-going
From the very beginning, Coastline’s promise to its Members has been to provide the highest level of financial services and products at the absolute lowest possible cost.
Fee-Free banking is here
Many of our services carry NO fees or charges at all. And our Member Rewards Program can save you meaningful dollars on your day-to-day banking costs. Simply put, the more you use Coastline’s banking, loans and investment services - the less you will pay in transaction fees.
Everyone is welcome at Coastline
