Services
In 2005, Coast Capital Savings launched its "Free Chequing, Free Debit and More" account, one of the first financial institutions in Canada to offer a free chequing account. Also in 2005, Coast Capital Savings launched a new design for its branches, called "Aperio", a more open, less formal banking experience centred on retail banking services. In 2007, Coast Capital Savings launched its "One Small Fee, the Rest is Free" Business Account, the first retail financial institution in Canada to offer unlimited business banking for one set fee with no transaction fees (fees for deposits and withdrawals). In 2008, Coast Capital changed its "Coast Maximum" Savings Account to the "High-Interest, No-Fee" Savings Account. This savings account is Canada's second high-interest savings account with no fees and unlimited access (ING Direct Canada was the first to offer such an account) but Coast Capital Savings offers a lower rate than competitors such as ING Direct or ICICI Bank. Coast Capital Savings currently offers VISA credit cards through Desjardins, a credit union in Quebec. Coast Capital also promotes volunteering with its staff.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
