Highly Recommend Vantana Cornick at First Tech
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.

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 workin with Vantana Cornick from First Tech
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!

First Tech Banking Experience
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.

Reliable, responsive, and trustworthy
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.

Eileen
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.
