About Us

We are proud of our history, growth and ability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our members and the people who live and work in our community. We're passionate about helping others live a more prosperous life and giving back to the people of southern California.

The Cal Coast Story

California Coast Credit Union is the longest-serving financial institution in San Diego. The Credit Union was started by teachers in 1929 and we continue to support local educators, schools and universities through our Financial Wellness program, Cal Coast Cares community events and our non-profit, the Cal Coast Cares Foundation.

Today, Cal Coast has grown to more than $3.6 billion in assets, serving more than 200,000 members with 26 branches, 60 shared branch locations, online and mobile banking and 30,000 fee-free ATM's nationwide. Our membership is open to anyone who lives, works or worships in San Diego or Riverside counties. We offer the same products and services as the big or local banks, but with a lot more added value. Being a member gives you access to exclusive offers, special perks, budgeting and saving programs and low rates that are unique to us.

Since the beginning, our vision has been to foster a culture of service and commitment to our community that our members could be proud of. Our employees come from a diverse background and we value the unique qualities each team member brings to the table. It’s gratifying to see that in a space of decades, our members have shared in our mission of giving back and helping to contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year, providing in-kind services and supporting local schools, charities and non-profits.

We’re passionate about providing valuable resources and tools to our members in order to help them achieve financial prosperity. Helping people is in our DNA and we enjoy giving our time in and out of the office to help and educate people. Collectively, we are Cal Coast and we’re here to make your life simpler, happier and more prosperous.

Our Why

Money management, saving for life's big moments and planning for the future are not always simple. We're passionate about making this easier for our members so they will achieve financial success and live a prosperous life. Our mission of providing exceptional and caring service extends beyond our Cal Coast family and membership and into the lives of those we live and work with, because we believe giving back will have a lasting impact on our community.
