The story

Founded in 1934 as a teachers' credit union, Suncoast spent decades expanding its field of membership before fully opening to Florida residents in 2013. The credit union has since pursued aggressive digital growth, targeting 2.5 million members by 2030 from its current ~1.3 million base. To support this scale, Suncoast has increasingly invested in fintech partnerships — Alloy for identity and fraud decisioning, Woop Insurance for digital insurance experiences — signaling a shift from purely branch-based banking toward a technology-enabled growth engine.
