The Company stated the net loss was primarily attributable to a $68.8 million credit expense related to a single, isolated CCBX (Banking-as-a-Service) partner relationship.

What is the Coastal Financial Corporation lawsuit about?

The Coastal Financial Corporation securities lawsuit alleges that, between October 28, 2024 and July 29, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Coastal Financial Corporation's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) the credit quality of a substantial CCBX partner loan portfolio, comprising approximately $500 million in loans and nearly 23% of all CCBX loans, had materially deteriorated; (2) as a result of that deterioration, Coastal faced significant exposure to credit losses notwithstanding Defendants' repeated representations concerning the credit protections provided by its CCBX partner agreements; (3) Coastal's risk management and credit monitoring practices were inadequate to identify, adequately account for, and mitigate the deterioration of the CCBX partner loan portfolio and the resulting risks to Coastal; and (4) as a result, defendants' positive statements about Coastal Financial Corporation's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

"The lawsuit against Coastal Financial Corporation alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to tell investors that the credit quality of a substantial CCBX partner loan portfolio, comprising approximately $500 million in loans and nearly 23% of all CCBX loans, had materially deteriorated. Coastal Financial Corporation investors who bought during the class period may be able to pursue their losses, and the December 1, 2026 deadline is where that process begins," said Howard G. Smith of The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith.
