If ever your identity is ever stolen, pray to the heavens that the thieves don’t open an account at First Tech Federal CU! A brick wall gets things done faster than this CU. No other institution gave me any trouble – it’s a fraudulent account? Oh let’s close that! Thank you, done, the end.
When this started on Nov 6th, 2020 these guys had me fill out a 5 page form (which I sent back the same day) with no promise of when to expect a follow up. We’ve called so many times I’ve lost count. They verify me like I’m a member and give me the same line – this situation is in review. Their fraud department doesn’t take phone calls – but hasn’t sent any of the communications that the phone reps have promised. Now they’ve sent me a tax form saying that I have earned interest! I’m so fed up.
When we called today, 2/11/2021, I told the rep that no other company has given me this much trouble, they just closed the fraudulent account and it was done, and she said that THAT WAS ACTUALLY A COMPLEMENT! She said that they don’t want to make it easy for fraudsters – but the fraudsters had no problems at all opening this account! It’s me trying to close it that is having problems! She kept saying that their fraud department would email me (I’m not holding my breath…) We asked how long before this was resolved. She said it can take up to 90 days. IT’S ALREADY BEEN MORE THAN 90 DAYS!

In reply to blue. Their website says membership in the Computer History Museum or the Financial Fitness Association qualifies you to join 1st Tech...

In reply to Amisha. Hi Amisha, please note the source of the APY was the math calculation we did by calculating the lowest $200 bonus tier amount ($25,000) in order to show the additional APY (3.20%) you will be getting in addition to the standard 0.25% rate. It was listed for reference only and was not advertised on the website. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this bonus, please contact First Tech Federal Credit Union CSR. Thank you.

I can’t see anywhere in the first tech website where it says account will earn “3.2% APY for six months + 0.25% APY” ???
