Coastal Community Bank Appoints President of CCBX Division

Coastal Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CCB) (the “Company”), and its subsidiary, Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”), announced that its role of President of the Bank is to be bifurcated to accommodate the Bank’s growth and plans for the future. The Bank announced the appointment of Brian Hamilton as President of CCBX, the FinTech and banking-as-a-service division of the Bank. Mr. Hamilton is a current member of the Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with the reorganization of the role of the President, the Bank also announced that Curt Queyrouze, the President of the Company and the Bank, will serve as President of the community bank division and will be responsible for leading the community bank and corporate credit.

“As Coastal focuses on growing CCBX, we continuously seek out individuals with the skillsets and experience that we believe will bolster our banking-as-a-service division and who complement the leadership team already in place,” said Eric Sprink, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “We were fortunate to add Brian to our Board of Directors earlier this year and since then, he has been an invaluable contributor to the Company and the Bank. Brian’s appointment to this new role will allow the Company to benefit more deeply from his background and extensive expertise in banking, lending, payments and digital products development,” Mr. Sprink added.

“Outside of CCBX, Coastal has been a fixture of community banking in the Puget Sound region for decades. We are excited to be able to bring that local, customer-first, community banking perspective and experience to new customers by evolving the community banking division to incorporate additional digital access for customers,” said Mr. Sprink. “Curt’s leadership, experience, and foresight have been key to Coastal’s success since he was appointed as President, and we are excited for him to build Coastal’s community bank division.”

Mr. Hamilton is a seasoned financial technology executive and business leader, with more than 25 years of experience in banking, lending, payments and digital product development. Mr. Hamilton has held senior leadership roles at Capital One, serving as President of their Merchant Services division, Wells Fargo and Verifone, in addition to founding and operating multiple companies in the fintech space. Most recently Mr. Hamilton was co-founder and CEO of ONE (One Finance Inc.), which was acquired by a Walmart led joint venture in 2022. Prior to co-founding ONE, he was the founder of Azlo, a digital bank for small businesses, and helped to build out the BBVA Open Platform for sponsor banking services.

“I am thrilled to deepen my relationship with the Coastal team in my new role leading the CCBX business. I have been lucky enough to work with many in management and across the Company and the Bank since joining the Board of Directors. I am excited to be able to take the experiences I gained and serve the Company and the Bank both as a member of management and as a director,” said Mr. Hamilton.
