Coastal, recognized for its disciplined and innovation-focused approach to banking-as-a-service, will serve as Pliant’s U.S. sponsor bank, enabling compliant market entry and long-term scalability.

It requires strong regulatory alignment and a sponsor bank that shares a disciplined approach to infrastructure and compliance.”
