First Tech Federal Credit Union

First Tech Federal Credit Union is a tech-industry-focused credit union originally built to serve employees of major technology companies — so if you work in tech (or have a family member who does), you're likely eligible to join. The Seattle branch sits at 555 Terry Ave North in South Lake Union, right in the heart of the city's tech corridor. The vibe inside is welcoming and low-pressure, with staff who actually take time to help you rather than rushing you out the door.
