So informative

Our First Tech agent was so informative and friendly. I typically dread having to do financial chores but getting a loan and credit card for my daughter was very pleasant.

Amber reached out to us to notify of the change in the CD rates to see if we wanted to make some changes. With her suggests and advice we went with a 13 month Bump up Certificate along with a 6 month CD with the possibility of rate decreases this year that when the 6 month matures if rates have come down we could add to the remaining time on our 13 month CD

First Tech Credit Union offers personalized service

First Tech Credit Union offers personalized service that I don't get at the big banks. When I go to the Palo Alto branch I interact with bankers sitting at their desks instead of a long line of customers waiting for the next teller. First tech is knowledge, efficient, and friendly.
