Become a
Business Member

Business members get to act like they own the place. Because they kinda do.

We're a credit union. That means you're not only a customer, you're a member.

Membership gives you access to Coast Capital Savings' unique products and services including the same kinds you'd find at a big bank. As a member, you also get membership shares which make you a part owner of our business. Pretty cool, eh? And, of course, it means we're really nice to you because you're sort of the boss of us.

Becoming a business member is easy.

You can open a Sole Proprietorship, General Partnership, or Corporation account online using a computer, tablet, or your mobile phone. If you're setting up any other business type, please book an appointment with our Business Banking Team at a nearby branch.

Not sure what kind of documents to bring in when you apply for your business account? We’ve compiled a checklist to get you started.
