Coast Capital Savings is making a bid to take its operations national, billing it as a chance to get ahead of the technological curve in an increasingly competitive financial-services sector. It is something the Surrey-based credit union has been mulling over for a couple of years, said CEO Don Coulter, and between Monday and Nov. 28it is asking members to vote on whether they want to proceed with registration as a federal credit union. “(In banking) two, three, four years from now, there is going to be such change and we, on the management team and board, have decided this is the best way to make sure the organization is healthy, strong, sustainable,” Coulter said.
