About us.
More than just banking.
Your financial partner for life.
Founded in 1952 by a few astute people at Hewlett-Packard and Tektronix, First Tech is the nation’s premier credit union serving the world’s leading technology-oriented companies and their employees. We offer a full range of customized products and services, as well as individual tools for financial wellness. We invest in our members with great rates and convenient digital, face-to-face and self-service banking solutions.
We also provide exclusive financial services for businesses and their employees through our partnerships with Select Employer Groups, such as HP Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Microsoft, Agilent, Intel, Cisco, Amazon, Nike, Intuit, Google and more.
Investing in you.
Led by a people-before-profit philosophy, we invest in our members, employees and communities every day. We're committed to offering you essential financial services and resources that help you achieve your financial dreams.
Unlike a traditional bank, First Tech is governed by a 100% volunteer Board of Directors comprised of First Tech members.
The Board of Directors governs the general direction and affairs of the credit union in accordance with our Bylaws. They also oversee the President and CEO who manage First Tech's day-to-day operations with the support of the Executive Team.
