A message to our customers:

At Coastal States Bank we are dedicated to upholding a strict code of ethics and business practices. In doing so, we work hard to respect and protect our customers' privacy and security.

To do so, we employ industry recognized security measures to help protect the personal information that you have provided to us from loss, misuse and unauthorized distribution. Whenever you transmit your personal financial information to us through our web site, we provide you access to our server, which encrypts your data as it is transmitted to us. We work to protect personally identifiable information stored on the site's servers from unauthorized access using commercially available computer security products such as firewalls, as well as carefully developed security procedures and practices. We use both internal and external resources to review the quality of our security safeguards on a regular basis.

Applications are submitted through an encrypted, secure server connection, certified by VeriSign™. By submitting a loan application or a request to be pre-qualified to us, you authorize us to access your personal credit profile. We may supply the information provided by you and your consumer credit report, on a confidential basis, to third parties, such as wholesale lenders and title companies, as it pertains to the qualifying, processing, and closing of your loan. Except when required or authorized by applicable state or federal law, including but not limited to 16 CFR 313.14 and 313.15, we will not otherwise use or disclose your confidential information. In particular, your personally identifiable information will not be provided to advertising companies or distribution lists unless otherwise requested by you.
