Happy 236th Birthday to the United States Coast Guard! ⚓

At CFAB, our work often intersects with the Coast Guard through vessel documentation and the boats that secure many of our loans.

We appreciate the important role Coast Guard members play in protecting Alaska’s waters, supporting maritime safety, and serving our coastal communities.

Thank you to the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard for your service to Alaska and our nation.

When the sun is always up, Alaska has prettiest way of keeping time. 🪻

Fireweed blooms from the bottom of the stalk upward, and it's been said that you can tell how much summer is left by watching how high the blossoms have climbed.

Once the flowers reach the very top, summer is nearing its end.

It may not be an official forecast, but it’s a good reminder to enjoy every bit of our short summers while they last! ☀️

Alaska’s fishing season is in motion, and as always, results can look different from one operation to the next.

Strong seasons can create new challenges, while slower seasons can create new worries.

Either way, your financing should recognize the realities of your operation.

CFAB provides Alaska-based knowledge, personal service, and financing options designed with your operation in mind.

Honest Rates. Local Roots. Since 1980.

July is one of the busiest and most productive times of year across Alaska.

Harvesters are on the water, farmers markets are in full swing, and visitors are traveling through communities across the state.

As the busy season continues, we’re wishing Alaskans a strong second wind and a safe, successful finish to the season.

✨ For members in good standing, CFAB’s Seasonal Bullet Loans are now available year-round to help support your needs. ✨

Across Alaska, Independence Day weekend is when our coastal communities really come alive.

Families haul campers and skiffs down to the water, tide books are tucked in the truck door, a mix of campfire smoke and roasting s’mores carries across the shoreline while the sound of Extra Tuffs shuffling over beach rocks signals another busy holiday weekend on our beaches.

Local stores, processors, charters, restaurants, and bars are juggling camp traffic, holiday crowds, and the everyday needs of Alaskan families and tourists alike.

At CFAB, we understand how much planning and hard work go into making this holiday weekend happen—on the water and on the beach.

From everyone at CFAB, we wish you a safe, enjoyable Independence Day weekend, wherever you tie up or pitch your tent.

We’re excited to share a little good news from the CFAB office! 👯‍♀️

Please join us in congratulating Erin Baker on her promotion to Operations Manager and Choua Xiong on her promotion to Accountant.

Erin and Choua both bring dedication, care, and a steady behind-the-scenes commitment to the work we do every day.

Their efforts support CFAB’s staff, members, and help us better serve Alaska’s hard-working communities.

Congratulations, Erin and Choua! CFAB is grateful to have you both as part of the team!

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

With gratitude for their sacrifice, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Did you know May 1, May Day, is also recognized globally as International Workers’ Day?

Alaska’s industries don’t operate in a bubble. They’re shaped by global demand, trade, and the movement of people and goods.

Even in the most remote parts of Alaska, the work done is part of something much bigger.

As seasons begin to open, it’s a time to reflect on new beginnings and the people who work hard to keep things moving, across the water and over the land, keeping food on our plates and adventure in our hearts.
