Personal finance experts approve of First Tech
CNBC named First Tech one of the 5 best credit unions for all your banking needs, saying “First Tech has some of the best low interest credit cards around. [...] First Tech also offers a variety of checking and savings accounts, IRAs, mortgages, personal, auto and student refinance loans and more.”
According to Nerdwallet, “First Tech Federal Credit Union offers a great checking account with no monthly fees. Anyone can apply for membership if they meet an easy requirement.”
In a review of our personal loans, Credit Karma says, “First Tech doesn’t charge application fees, origination fees or penalty fees for early loan payoff, which helps minimize borrowing costs. And First Tech’s starting APRs—which are listed on its website—are competitive.” Credit Karma continues to say, “First Tech personal loan amounts for secured or unsecured loans start at just $500 — which may be helpful if you need a small personal loan for something like a minor car repair or other unexpected expense. But much larger loans are available, too.”
