Wire MyCoast member data into your stack: balances, transactions, e-statements, MyPay
MyCoast is the mobile banking app of Coastline Federal Credit Union, a US credit union that exposes balances, transfers, MyPay bill payment, e-statements, savings goals and a personal finance management dashboard. Each of these screens is a structured data feed worth connecting to lending, accounting or wealth platforms.

Data available for integration
This inventory maps MyCoast screens to concrete data structures you can request through our integration. Granularity reflects what the underlying app exposes to a logged-in member.
| Data type | Source screen / feature | Granularity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account balances | Account Summary screen | Per share / loan, current & available | Liquidity dashboards, low-balance alerts |
| Transaction history | Account detail / search | Per posting, ISO-8601 date, merchant, amount, type | Reconciliation, expense analytics, income verification |
| E-statements | Statements area | Monthly PDF + structured JSON line items | Audit trails, mortgage and underwriting workflows |
| MyPay bill payments | MyPay bill pay | Per payee, scheduled / processed / cancelled | AP automation, treasury reconciliation |
| Internal & external transfers | Transfers screen | Source, destination, schedule, status | Cashflow forecasting, savings automation |
| Savings goals | Savings goals | Goal id, target amount, contribution cadence, progress | Financial wellness apps, coaching, gamified saving |
| Personal finance management | PFM dashboard | Category-tagged spending, monthly aggregates | Budgeting tools, neobank dashboards |
| Member identity | Profile / settings | Name, masked SSN/Tax ID, address, phone, email | KYC reconciliation, fraud risk scoring |
Typical integration scenarios
1. Accounting and bookkeeping sync
A small business owner who banks at Coastline Federal Credit Union pushes daily transaction lines and posted bill payments into QuickBooks Online or Xero. The flow consumes GET /accounts and GET /transactions, normalises memo and merchant fields, and writes journal entries tagged with the Coastline account number.
2. Income and asset verification for lenders
A mortgage broker requests 24 months of e-statements via the member-consent endpoint. The integration downloads the structured statement payload, derives recurring deposits, and exports a Method-of-Verification report similar to what Finicity Income Verification produces for credit decisioning.
3. Financial wellness coaching
A coaching app subscribes to savings-goal progress webhooks. Each time a member's goal contribution posts, the app pushes a nudge (e.g. "1.4% closer to your emergency fund") and uses PFM category data to surface overspending in subscriptions, drawing on the same signal stream the in-app MyCoast Savings Goals screen consumes.
4. Treasury and consolidated view
A franchise group with accounts at Coastline FCU and two larger banks pulls balances from all three through a single unified endpoint. The OpenFinance Lab adapter normalises field names (availableBalance, postedDate) so downstream cash-position dashboards do not care which institution they came from.
5. Compliance archival under Section 1033
A fintech building under the CFPB Section 1033 personal financial data rights framework keeps consent records, scopes (balance / transactions / statements) and revocation events tied to each MyCoast member. The integration ships with a ready-made consent ledger and a 7-year e-statement archive bucket.

Error handling and retries
Endpoints return RFC-7807 problem documents (application/problem+json) with stable error codes such as mycoast.auth.otp_expired, mycoast.rate.limited and mycoast.upstream.unavailable. Idempotency keys are honoured on POST endpoints (transfers, MyPay) so retries do not double-post. A backoff strategy of 1s, 2s, 5s is recommended for upstream 5xx classes.
Compliance & privacy
US regulatory frame
Coastline Federal Credit Union is supervised by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Member data handling follows NCUA Regulation P (Privacy of Consumer Financial Information), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Safeguards Rule, and the personal financial data rights framework set by the CFPB Section 1033 final rule issued in October 2024. The 2025 NCUA supervisory priorities also list cybersecurity and third-party due diligence as top focus areas, which our deliverables reflect.
Privacy by design
We work under explicit member authorization and never store plain-text credentials. Scopes are split per data class (balance, transactions, statements, MyPay) so a calling app only sees the fields it needs. Consent revocations propagate within 24 hours and trigger automatic key rotation on the integration side. Logs retain only hashed identifiers; PII fields can be tokenized.
Data flow / architecture
The pipeline keeps the MyCoast app as the source of truth and the integration layer as a thin, audited adapter:
- Client App / Aggregator — your application calls our normalized MyCoast endpoints, or connects through an aggregator like Plaid, Finicity, MX or Akoya.
- OpenFinance Lab adapter — handles member login, OTP, session refresh, scope checks and idempotency, returning normalized JSON.
- Encrypted member-data store — short-lived caches for balances and statements; field-level encryption with KMS-managed keys.
- Analytics / API output — downstream services (accounting sync, lending decisioning, PFM coach) read from the normalized layer or subscribe to webhooks.
Market positioning & user profile
MyCoast targets retail members of Coastline Federal Credit Union — primarily US consumers and small-business owners in the credit union's regional service area. Members skew toward everyday banking use cases (checking, savings, bill pay, small loans) rather than active trading. Integration buyers are typically US fintechs, bookkeepers, lending platforms, and financial-wellness apps that want consistent coverage of smaller credit unions alongside large banks. In 2024, Coastline FCU rolled out an updated mobile experience that brought MyPay and savings goals into the same flow, narrowing the feature gap with apps like Alliant Credit Union and Coastal Credit Union — a useful baseline for anyone benchmarking credit-union digital channels.
