Ability to get a human that is friendly and communicates well
I've been with First Tech for 20+years and they continue to provide excellent service both in person and online. When calling in, you always find a human that is local and communicates extremely well and for me, that is priceless. Their site is so smooth and easy to manage, and they improve features continually.

Money matters
I visited the bank to move money around. It was done quickly and efficiently. One of the transactions was taking advantage of starting or adding to an existing CD in order to get a good interest rate.
The representative was friendly, extremely helpful, and engaging in conversation.
