2. Personalize your PIN
You’ll receive your PIN separately by mail. To personalize your PIN:

4. Update your payment information
If this card replaces an older First Tech card, update the saved card details—expiration date, CVC and (if applicable) the new card number—anywhere you use that card for bill pay, subscriptions or online shopping.
Digital Banking lets you monitor transactions, lock/unlock your card, access your digital card, add it to your wallet and notify us of travel plans.
Access via the First Tech website or mobile app.
You can also use Digital Banking to temporarily lock and unlock your credit card to prevent unauthorized transactions.
You can let us know of your travel plans so that transactions won’t get blocked, complete balance transfers, and much more.
Digital Banking is accessible from the First Tech website or the First Tech mobile app. You can find the mobile app in either the Apple or Google app stores.
