History
Established in August 1967, Coastal was formed through the efforts of eight employees of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) to meet the financial needs of the local IBM community in Raleigh. In 1991, the field of membership was expanded to include employees of other businesses throughout certain North Carolina areas. Today, Coastal serves employees of more than 1,400 businesses and associations.
Coastal was a pioneer in the area of video banking, and in 2010 became the first institution in the world to convert 100 percent of its teller operations to video tellers.
