Our verdict
Best for
People who want credit union membership with a no-fee chequing account
Not for
Anyone outside its service footprint who wants branch access, or who needs published online rates to compare
What we like
- Free chequing on the flagship account
- Credit union member ownership and profit sharing
- Full-service range including mortgages and business banking
Where it could improve
- Rates are not consistently published in a form that can be verified from public materials
- Branch network is concentrated in British Columbia
Products
One block per product, each with its own numbers. Never blended into a single range.
Good to know: Pays 0.30% with no monthly fee, but only two free transactions a month and $1.50 to send an e-Transfer. As a federal credit union it is a CDIC member in its own right, so coverage does not depend on a partner bank.
Rates and fees for this product are being verified against Coast Capital Savings's published materials and will appear once checked.
