Who We Are

First Tech Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution with a mission rooted in people, not profit. Founded in 1952, we’ve grown into one of the nation’s premier credit unions, serving over 650,000 members across the United States—many from leading technology and innovation companies.

As a credit union, we focus on delivering value, transparency, and trusted financial guidance—not maximizing shareholder returns. That means we reinvest earnings into better rates, lower fees, and superior service experiences for our members—and by extension, for our brokers and lending partners.

Our Philosophy

At First Tech, we believe that great service isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of a successful partnership. That’s why our entire Wholesale Home Equity division is built on one simple rule:

We make home equity easy.

Whether you're a broker, loan officer, or processor, our goal is to remove friction, eliminate guesswork, and deliver an experience that’s fast, responsive, and consistent—every single time.
