Transport Layer Security (TLS) Encryption
TLS stands for Transport Layer Security (TLS). This technology allows users to establish sessions with Internet sites that are secure, meaning they have minimal risk of external violation. Once inside the Coast Online Banking site, you are secure through our use of SSL technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling information into a more secure format for transmission. This means that plain text is converted (encrypted) to a scrambled code while transmitting, and then changed back (decrypted) to plain text at the receiving end of the transmission.

Coast Online Banking uses two kinds of cookies - session cookies and persistent cookies. We use a session cookie to maintain the integrity of your Internet banking session, and we use persistent cookies in optional enhanced features such as the saved Member Cards and saved member transfers features.

Common Questions
When opening a GIC, we will ask you which account you want to fund the GIC from. If you are opening an RRSP or TFSA GIC, you need to fund it from an existing TFSA or RRSP account in your Coast Capital membership. Likewise, if you are opening a regular GIC, it cannot be funded from a TFSA or RRSP account.
If you are opening a TFSA or RRSP GIC and don’t have any funds in your existing TFSA or RRSP, simply perform a transfer into the account first. Remember to be aware of your contribution limits when making TFSA and RRSP deposits.
Some products are not available online. If you see something on our website that isn’t available in digital banking, please visit a branch or contact us at 1.888.517.7000.
Once an account or GIC is open, you will be able to view it in your Account Overview.
