Great customer service

Big thanks to my Financial Representative, Benny Mirsan, for the amazing support! He’s clearly dedicated to his clients—he explained the account and renewed the term and got it all done in minutes.

Kindness is contagious

I called over the weekend and was not able to get my issue resolved. I had to call back during the week. Matthew Wright was the most helpful, pleasant person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. This was a great experience especially after the day I was having. It’s amazing how someone can turn your day around. Thank you so very much!

First Tech CU closed Credit Card with no notification. They claimed they sent an email notifying me of inactivity, with a chance for me to use my credit card to keep it active. I never received the email. I DO NOT lose emails. They will not re-open the card. I took a 7 point credit score hit. I lost 24,500 reward points. They are not doing anything about it. They just lost a 40-year customer.

SanJeev Kumar patiently helped me figure out 3 things: 1)whether or not I had a false payment (I didn't)
2) how I might get more benefits by using my money more productively (% improvements)
3) what I need to look for in emails to invite my friends to join 1st Tech. He was patient, pro-active, polite, and thorough, showing once again that 1st Tech has outstanding Customer Service.

Today

Today, April 21st, I had the pleasure of being assisted by Mr. Daniel Paslin. Daniel was very knowledgeable about his craft , he provided me all the information I called for and answered all my questions. I got enlightened. First Tech needs to have more people like Daniel who is patient and understanding of his customers needs. He is the best!

I needed help with a check I received from a tax preparer. The check was denied and Ashley (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was outstanding in helping me try to get the problem solved. She went above and beyond with the friendly and patient help. She gets an A+ from me!

The Call We Didn’t Want to End

We called in needing help and assuming it would be just another stressful and frustrating call to a corporate office. However, Jose answered and walked us through the steps of how to resolve it. He was able to not only fix the problem but walk us through how to avoid it in the future!
He was such a delight to talk to that I think I was almost sad the issue was resolved and we had to end the call!!
