First Tech has consistently excellent service
My experience at First Tech Federal Credit Union at the Palo Alto location is always great. Amjad Marri is particularly helpful, as he is the one whom I usually am assisted by. I like to check in every once in a while with Amjad to work on making a deposit, or checking up on credits, and he is always helpful and strongly prepared to assist with any questions and problems in which I may have. Excellent service always.

Very Helpful Hong Vo
I'm in my mid 80's and my online skills are not the greatest. Mr. Hong Vo walks me through investment choices I'm interested in - and then moves the funds for me. I find Hong Vo most helpful and willing to do little extras for me.

Great service
We don’t visit our local credit union branch often but when we need advice or help, asst bank manager Yvette Moran has been responsive, knowledgeable and patient with us. She introduced us to Hong Vo, Premier financial rep, who advised us on investment offerings aimed at optimizing our savings. He was personable, well-versed without being pushy. A bonus is that he is a certified notary public and could notarize some documents for us while we were there. Both personnel are highly appreciated!

Hong of 1st Tech is exceptional
Hong of 1st Tech is exceptional. I've lived in Singapore and still have accounts there... in Europe as well. We could put our money anywhere - but the peace of mind knowing that your personal banker will reach out to you when it's time to make a change with whatever you're invested in is just so great. Thank you!!
