While Coast Capital and motusbank are working together to make the experience as seamless as possible, your action is key to being fully set up and ready to bank immediately after the transition.

There is nothing for you to do. Your motusbank accounts will transition and be viewable through your existing Coast Capital digital banking account as of November 1.

As part of the transition of motusbank accounts to Coast Capital, all active accounts and related information will be transitioned to Coast Capital effective November 1.

In the meantime, however, motusbank is sharing accounts and related information in order for Coast Capital to set up migrating members’ profiles, products and services on its system, equip members to bank with us immediately following November 1 and to communicate with members about the same.
As you have closed your motusbank account after this information was shared between our organizations, Coast Capital systems have not yet been updated to reflect this change.

Any motusbank accounts that have since been closed will be deleted from our systems shortly after November 1 as updated information is shared with Coast Capital. No new accounts will be set up for you at Coast Capital.

You may disregard any Coast Capital communications you receive until that time. We apologize for any confusion or concern that this has caused.

Both Coast Capital and motusbank are applying high standard digital security processes to ensure that any shared personal information is safe, secure and remains confidential.
