Case Study: Coastal Community Bank achieves faster, secure partner data sharing with Databricks

Community bank masters modern data platform for exponential growth

Coastal Community Bank, headquartered in Everett, Washington, needed a modern data platform to support its CCBX banking-as-a-service business, improve risk and compliance operations, and securely share data with fintech partners in a highly regulated environment. The bank turned to Databricks, using the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, Unity Catalog, and Delta Sharing to handle complex, near real-time data across its growing partner ecosystem.

With Databricks, Coastal Community Bank simplified and secured partner onboarding, reduced key risk and compliance tasks from 48 hours to 30 minutes, and cut data onboarding timelines from one to two months to just two days. The bank also grew BaaS program fee income by 32.3% year over year, expanded from 40,000 to about 6 million customers through partners, and was able to answer a data request the same afternoon using Unity Catalog lineage.
