The natural beauty of Cape Cod draws visitors from across the globe, but it’s the people – local businesses, neighbors, and close-knit communities – that truly make the Cape special.
For more than a century, Cape & Coast Bank, formerly The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, has been proud to be your community bank, serving the financial needs of individuals, families, and businesses from Bourne to Provincetown. Deeply rooted on Cape, we understand what makes each town unique.
Last year marked an exciting new chapter for us with our name change and the introduction of Erik Porter as president and CEO. We also reaffirmed our long-standing commitment to Powering Local – a promise to support growth, innovation, and opportunity across Cape Cod by being an active and engaged community partner.
To us, “local” means more than just a location. It’s about knowing clients by name, making thoughtful decisions quickly, and reinvesting in the 15 communities of Barnstable County to help make the Cape an even better place to live, work, and do business. Through our charitable foundation, Cape & Coast Bank has awarded more than $1 million in grants since 2018 to nonprofit organizations that support the most pressing needs of residents.

While we may have a new name and leader, our commitment to remaining an independent community-focused institution for Cape Cod is unwavering. Built on generations of trust and service, Cape & Coast Bank continues to focus on being the best bank for Cape Cod. Investments in new technology are making banking easier and more convenient, while the personal service clients value remains at the heart of everything we do.
Cape & Coast Bank is Powering Local – now and into the future.
