Excellent introduction to Premier Banking!

Had my first meeting with Chris today and it was awesome. I asked a simple question about my trust and his diligence uncovered things weren’t quite set up the way they should be. He helped fix it there and then. Based on this level of exceptional service, I’m looking forward to him being my banking partner!

I’ve been a member of First Tech since 2018, and my experience has consistently been excellent. Their services are reliable, efficient, and truly member-focused. More recently, my Premier Financial Representative, Amber Fish, has taken my experience to another level. She proactively introduced new opportunities and helped me better understand and maximize the benefits available to me.

Loyal Customer of First Tech

I have been a member of First Tech since 1980, back when it was called Addison Avenue after Dave and Lucile Packard's Palo Alto garage. Since then the Credit Union has expanded and grown its services, and I have repeatedly chosen to stay their loyal customer.
Eileen Alvarez is one of the reasons. She's responsive, attentive and always wise in her advice.

First Tech Premier Rewards

I would like to share my outstanding experience with Premier Financial Services and specifically recognize the exceptional support I received from Eric Pseat.

As a client of the bank for 23 years, I have consistently appreciated the high level of service, but my recent interaction truly exceeded expectations. Eric demonstrated remarkable professionalism, deep knowledge, and genuine dedication to helping me achieve the best possible financial outcomes. He took the time to understand my needs, provided clear and thoughtful guidance, and ensured that every detail was handled efficiently and with care.

Premier Financial Services continues to stand out thanks to its personalized approach, responsiveness, and commitment to client success. The Premier support offering brings real value — from tailored financial solutions to priority service — making banking both seamless and reassuring.

I am grateful for the continued excellence and especially for Eric’s outstanding support. Experiences like this are exactly why I have remained a loyal client for more than two decades.

Thank you for maintaining such a high standard of service.

First Tech Premier Financial Rep Eric Pseat is the Best!

My husband and I have been very happy customers of First Tech Federal Credit Union and its predecessor Hewlett-Packard Credit Union for 50 years! Through the years, this credit union has provided us with favorable home and auto loans as well as fantastic yields on our personal saving accounts and certificates of deposit. Most of all, we appreciate the superb customer service we receive from our Premier Banking Team.

Our Premier Financial Representative, Eric Pseat, is located in San Diego, CA. We live more than 500 miles away, so our business is conducted by phone or e-mail. Eric is very personable, professional, responsive, and patient. He proactively identifies opportunities and offer alternatives to help us maximize our financial goals. Despite the physical distance, Eric’s excellent follow-through guarantees that every transaction is handled correctly and seamlessly — as if he is right next door. We love working with Eric!

Do yourself a favor and give Eric Pseat and the First Tech Premier Banking Team a call today!

Tens of thousands of dollars thanks to Emilee at premier banking

I married into First Tech. Little did I know how pleasant banking could be. But it wasn't until we became premier bankers and had Emilee Gutierrez as our contact that we became passionate fans of First Tech. We had been premier bankers at Wells Fargo so we had pretty much no expectation of any help whatsoever. Emilee is amazing. She is responsive, incredibly smart, and wanted to put our money to work for us. Money that was sitting there doing nothing, she put into different services that fit within our schedule for when we needed to access more funds. She single-handedly earned us tens of thousands of dollars. I am forever grateful for her being so passionate about helping premier members.

We happily signed our kids up for accounts and now the whole family is First Tech forever.

Intro to Premiere Rewards Banking - Emilee Gutierrez

Working with Emilee Gutierrez today was fantastic. She explained Premier Rewards Banking, and what the program is about. She made the conversation very personable and I feel very comfortable working with her. She answered all of my questions, and made mention of any other questions that come up to not hesitate to contact her. This should be good going forward. Thanks Terry Jensen

Hong Vo is awesome to work with!

My mother and myself worked with Hong Vo at First Tech and he was excellent. He was incredibly helpful to my elderly mom to understand her accounts and explained all the products that are offered through First Tech. He made her feel very comfortable! I appreciated how patient he was explaining everything to us!

I really appreciate how the entire team came together and helped me reach my financial goals.
Emilee Gutierrez helped me identify the right CD's and tools to help me earn significant interest & Tommy Jensen going above and beyond by recommending a more effective credit card & putting me in touch with Emiliee. I look forward to working with Shiela and Kris over the next few weeks to identify other opportunities to help me maximize my savings. I appreciate the friendly, proactive and collaborative approach.
