First Tech Federal Credit Union

So far, so good! Husband and I opened joint checking and savings accounts based on their good rates, small initial deposit, and positive word-​of-​mouth reviews. Their online interface is excellent and they even allow e-​deposits, you just have to scan your check.
Another plus– at the branch, you don’t have to fill out any sort of paperwork like deposit slips, simply present your ID to the teller and tell them what you need.
Overall we’ve been very satisfied with First Tech.

I’ve been a member of First Tech Credit Union (formally known as State Employees… something credit union) since birth. My parents set up a savings account for me before I was even born. It’s interesting to walk in to discuss a mortgage and when the loan officer asks you how long you’ve been a member you say «Oh, 32 years.» and get a very odd look.
Never had any problems with First Tech, unlike Bank of America or Wells Fargo, of which I am also an account holder. I’ve had two car loans, a personal loan, credit card, and checking and savings with them. Every time I’ve had questions or just wanted to inquire about better rates, refinancing, ect I’ve been able to get right in to see someone. That someone even knows what they are talking about!
The tellers at the branch I use regularly all know me by sight, which is a huge plus. Especially in this day of fraud and identity theft.
I like the idea of First Tech being a local credit union and not a «Big Bank». Keeping money in the local economy is a great thing. When I open my small business (hopefully before retirement, sigh) I will apply here. I know I’ll be treated right.

I have been with First Tech for a very long time now, their rates are good, fees reasonable. However what really sets them apart is service. No bogus fees. Quick turn around on loans. Fast resolution of problems.
I have despised every bank I had prior to discovering credit unions.
Now I don’t understand why anyone would use a bank who’s only objective is to stick you for every fee they can think up.
Dump your bank, go to a credit union. I recommend First Tech highly.
