First Tech - Premier Rewards Banking Reviews 

I have worked with Samuel Frutos as my financial advisor for more than four years. Before meeting him, I believed I could manage my accounts at First Tech Federal Credit Union on my own — after all, I had taught Strategic Management at the University of Washington Business School.
Reality proved different.
Samuel has given me invaluable guidance on how to increase my dividends through both short‑term and long‑term strategies. He always takes the time to clarify my options and helps me choose the ones that best match my goals. His polite, thoughtful explanations have saved me from more than one potential mistake.
I truly enjoy working with him and greatly appreciate his professionalism and support.

Luba Kyrychenko is an amazing professional, very knowledgeable with a fantastic personality. Luba is on top of the latest changes always thinking about her customers and ways to maximize their benefits. I trust her 100% and lover her effectiveness.

I have worked virtually with Eileen Alvarez for several years. She has always been prompt in her replies to my request for assistance regardless of the time zone we happen to share. She continues to provide excellent assistance regardless of the type of questions I ask or the request for help I may ask. I wish all organizations I contact had an Eileen Alvarez in their support teams.

Our meeting with Mitzi Macias Barahona, was exceptional. We were so pleased with her attention to detail and genuine interest in us. Her knowledge of the various options available to us was so helpful! We look forward to working with her again.

great service and family style reltionship

Working with Mitzi Macias Barahona has been great. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. I would recommend her help anytime!

I've had the pleasure of working with Vantana Cornick at First Tech, and she is easily one of the most helpful and dedicated bankers I've ever worked with. From day one, she made me feel genuinely valued as a customer, taking the time to understand my needs and patiently walking me through every question, no matter how big or small. Her product knowledge is excellent, her communication is clear and transparent, and she's always proactive about following up and keeping me informed. Vantana strikes the perfect balance of being warm and professional, and I always come away from our conversations feeling confident and well taken care of. She's a true asset to First Tech, and I'm grateful for the care and attention she consistently brings to every interaction.

Vantana Cornick is really helpful for investment advice and is always on top of it for me if I have certificates maturing.

As a premier member and as a 47 year 1st Tech member, I've always appreciated the sincere and excellent customer service from the staff. Hashim Hunaidi carries on the tradition of providing excellent service and solving customer problems. Nice job Hashim!

We've had a great experience working with Vantana Cornick at First Tech. She's always quick to respond, patient about explaining the details so we actually understand our options, and proactive. She'll often flag things before we even think to ask, which has made everything feel a lot less stressful.
Thank you, Vantana!

I have been using First Tech since I moved to the USA in 2017. For my mortgage, insurance etc. Service has been great and consistent. Special mention to Eileen Alvarez, who goes always above and beyond to support us. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Amber Fish is so helpful! She answers all my technical questions, is responsive and knows what she is doing! I have never met Amber, but consider her a great friend a great source to learn what I need to learn!

Hasim is always responsive and ready to help. Follow-through is great!

Super Service from Shaveta Sharma & Rupal Bhandari in the Sammamish branch.

I have a great experience with Amber Fish, who is my First Tech Premier representative. She gives us frequent follow ups and informs us early all promotion opportunities that she thinks will benefit us. She answers all questions as best as possible and sometimes refers us to other financial experts. She even poses some topics that she thinks we should consider ahead of time. We have been with First Tech Credit Union for decades and it is still our key primary bank. We appreciate that First Tech assigns dedicated representatives like Amber Fish to us.

Benny Mirsan has been my go-to contact at this credit union for years now, and he consistently delivers. He responds quickly, gives me the information I need, and connects me with the right people when my question falls on a different department (e.g. insurance). More than anything, I trust him, and that's not something I say lightly about anyone handling my finances. Highly recommend.

Always enjoy talking to Eileen. She listens to my questions & gives her polite & honest opinions. She helped to modify,move & combine different FTFCU products to maximize returns. Last year, she was a big help in making the contacts I needed in order to transfer ownership of my deceased wife's FTFCU accounts.

Amber Fish and crew have always helped me both in banking suggestions and the general mechanics, as well as referring me to affiliated financial advisors who were, like Amber, generous with their time.

I’ve been working with Amber Fish through the Premier program on an ongoing basis, and the experience has consistently been excellent.

Amber is knowledgeable, responsive, and she’s focused on building a relationship.

The Premier program has been a valuable resource, and Amber is a big reason why.

We work with the First Technology office in Seattle. The staff is extremely knowledgeable , helpful and personal. We received great suggestions on how to invest with First Tech and how to operationally make management of accounts easier. All around a great experience!
