First Tech Federal Credit Union has announced that it will be merging with Digital Credit Union (DCU) pending approval by NCUA. Readers will be familiar with both credit unions due to sign up bonuses offer by First Tech and referral bonus/0% APR deals offered by DCU.

Welp, we’ll see how this goes. I loved using DCU.
“The name of the combined credit union will be First Technology Federal Credit Union, or First Tech for short.”
I’m no branding expert but that’s surprising they wouldn’t prefer DCU
oh boy.. as a “fan” of DCU, i hope this doesn’t mean bad news..
Agreed. Might have to call it quits with DCU now.
That’s pretty disappointing. First Tech has some archaic systems in place and weird UW standards.
First Tech was the CU that its reps gave me conflicting answers on whether or not DDs from S.S. would qualify for the $300 Checking bonus. One rep said “Yes”, one rep said “No, it must be payroll from your job”. I ended up closing the account before my DDs from S.S. were deposited. They’re the only F.I. that I know of that doesn’t like DDs from S.S.
Why? Averaging the 2 answers, you forfeited $150.
FYI — I was told by a rep that SS did qualify as DD. And I did receive the bonus.
What did you have to lose by not trying it?
