First Tech Premier Account
My Financial Advisor got me in touch with Taaniya as I became eligible for a First Tech Premier Rewards account. I was explained in detail how the process works and the resulting benefits. Taaniya also helped me figure out some other question related to my credit card. I look forward to having a dedicated contact that will assist me with any questions I may have regarding my account. All of this at no extra cost. It's nice to see that customer service still exists!

Great customer service
My experience with FirstTech bank over the years has been very smooth starting from opening an account with them when relocating to the US for work. The bank offers good financial terms and all technical issues are resolved quickly. I would especially recommend Vantana Cornick from the Seattle office who has provided excellent customer service.

I have worked with Samuel Frutos as my Financial advisor
I have worked with Samuel Frutos as my financial advisor for more than four years. Before meeting him, I believed I could manage my accounts at First Tech Federal Credit Union on my own — after all, I had taught Strategic Management at the University of Washington Business School.
Reality proved different.
Samuel has given me invaluable guidance on how to increase my dividends through both short‑term and long‑term strategies. He always takes the time to clarify my options and helps me choose the ones that best match my goals. His polite, thoughtful explanations have saved me from more than one potential mistake.
I truly enjoy working with him and greatly appreciate his professionalism and support.

Eileen Alvarez's great support!
I have worked virtually with Eileen Alvarez for several years. She has always been prompt in her replies to my request for assistance regardless of the time zone we happen to share. She continues to provide excellent assistance regardless of the type of questions I ask or the request for help I may ask. I wish all organizations I contact had an Eileen Alvarez in their support teams.

Highly Recommend Vantana Cornick at First Tech
I've had the pleasure of working with Vantana Cornick at First Tech, and she is easily one of the most helpful and dedicated bankers I've ever worked with. From day one, she made me feel genuinely valued as a customer, taking the time to understand my needs and patiently walking me through every question, no matter how big or small. Her product knowledge is excellent, her communication is clear and transparent, and she's always proactive about following up and keeping me informed. Vantana strikes the perfect balance of being warm and professional, and I always come away from our conversations feeling confident and well taken care of. She's a true asset to First Tech, and I'm grateful for the care and attention she consistently brings to every interaction.
