Christopher Ray is one of the reasons I stay with First tech. He’s always just a phone call away. Whether I need some remote banking at 4:59pm or a sit down meeting at our local branch, he is on it. 6 stars!

Fantastic experience with 1st Tech Premier Services
I’ve been with First Tech’s Premier Services for 8 years now and Samantha Martin has been my representative for this entire time. She has been fantastic. She is super quick to respond to any questions I have and has helped me with a lot of different things over the years: wiring funds, setting up a new 1st Tech credit card and getting the right limit put in place, dealing with a fraud issue on the card, setting up a high interest savings account and so much more.
I can’t say enough good things about First Tech’s Premier Services program and Sam - they really are excellent!

First Tech gave me credit when I moved with my family to the USA the first time, without credit history.
Since then, I always got the best professional support in all my financial decisions throughout the years, providing proactive suggestions and on-demand consultancy.
I feel like being part of a family here, with the best technical support in a warm environment.

All the staff at First Tech were tremendous!
All the staff at First Tech were tremendous and gave me lots of good advice, setting up all my accounts as appropriate. Mitzi Macias Barahona was particularly generous in sharing her extensive knowledge and providing financial advice to my personal situation. Also Kimberly and Noah were super helpful and friendly. First Tech has been an excellent credit union to do business with.

Benny Mirsan
My wife and I have been with First Tech Federal Credit Union for +40 years, and over that time we’ve come to value their comprehensive financial services and their professional and customer-focused staff. Most notably for the last ~5 years, we’ve enjoyed the benefits of their concierge First Tech Premier Rewards Banking, thanks to Benny Mirsan. Benny has been our prompt, trusted, and always insightful guide in making the most of First Tech’s wide-ranging services and planning our financial future.

Listens and Understands
My past personal experience and expectations with bankers, and banking in general, has felt impersonal and cold. Eileen Alvarez at FT has changed all that for me. For the first time in many years, I actually had a conversation with a financial representative that was clearly with a person that had my best interests in mind and truly listened to what I wanted for my immediate needs.

Hong Vo & Palo Alto Branch
Hong Vo, my personal banker, looks after my interests and helps by giving me various options that I could consider. Overall, the Palo Alto Branch is EXCELLENT! In particular, Amjad Marri and Behar the branch manager have gone out of their way to support my interests. Actually, everyone I’ve met has been friendly, interested in what is going on in my life, and have called me to remind that action is required. The products are also excellent. I tell everyone I know to switch to First Tech if they mention irritation with their current bank.

Always a Pleasure to work with Premier Rewards at First Tech
Taaniya Padda, my Premier Rewards Representative, is always looking out for my best interests. I can count on her to have the latest information, for answering all my questions, and for helping me to accomplish things over the phone which would normally require a trip to a physical branch. I couldn't be more pleased.
