Coastal Financial Returns to Profitability in Third Quarter 2026
Coastal Financial (CCB) has returned to profitability, reporting $13.8 million in net income for the third quarter of 2026. This follows a significant $42.1 million net loss in the previous quarter caused by heavy losses from a single fintech partner program. The bank's ability to rebound was supported by credit enhancements that covered approximately 97% of nonperforming loans within its Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) unit. Looking forward, management is prioritizing operational efficiency and margin expansion, targeting over $20 million in annualized expense savings over the next six quarters. Despite potential deposit runoff risks stemming from Valley National Bancorp's acquisition of Bluevine, Coastal Financial maintains strong capital ratios and contingent borrowing capacity to ensure liquidity stability.
