Checking accounts allow members to deposit cash into a safe place, as your money in the account is protected up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). You can access your money when purchasing goods or services using a debit card or a check. First Tech offers rewards and youth checking options.

You can make changes to the information on your checks or choose a different starting check number by leaving a message in the message center within digital banking. You may also stop by a branch near you or call us at 855.855.8805.

Your available balance is the amount of funds available to cover transactions after subtracting any pending transactions or held funds from your current balance. 

First Tech may hold deposited checks to ensure funds clear before availability, protecting members and the credit union from incorrect balances. If a deposited check is returned unpaid, members must cover the negative balance. Hold durations vary by check type or situation, with notice provided for holds over two days.
