The hospitality and professionalism of your people at the Santa Rosa branch is without equal. From the moment I walked in the branch a couple weeks ago, I (and my wife as well on our second visit) have been treated better than I ever have in nearly 50 years of being a customer at a variety of financial institutions. Amanda and Mayra specifically, but each and every other employee I witnessed in the branch are truly wonderful people. I am completely sold on being a customer the rest of my life!

Great experience at First Tech Credit Union
I visited my local First Tech branch yesterday to verify that my wife will have 100% access to all our accounts upon my passing. Sophia Freedman was very helpful; in addition to verifying that my wife will have total control, she helped me complete a POD beneficiary form to ensure my children will have access to our accounts if my wife and I both were to die. I really appreciated how Sophia spent time with me to ensure that all my concerns were addressed.
