MONEY and Bankrate Recognized First Tech After Extensive Review of 140 Banks and Credit Unions
BEAVERTON, Ore. & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--First Technology Federal Credit Union, the nation’s premiere credit union serving technology companies, was named the best financial institution in Oregon and California by MONEY in its 2017-2018 “The Best Bank in Every State” annual survey. MONEY’s project partner, Bankrate, also honored First Tech in its roundup, “The Best Credit Unions in the U.S.”
“For decades, First Tech has worked on behalf of industry leaders and professionals to equip them with the right tools for financial success. We’re proud that our commitment to excellent products and services has allowed our member base to grow immensely not just locally, but across the nation.”
“We’re constantly striving to best serve the technology-rooted communities across the nation, and are thrilled to receive accolades in Oregon and California,” said Greg Mitchell, president and CEO of First Tech. “For decades, First Tech has worked on behalf of industry leaders and professionals to equip them with the right tools for financial success. We’re proud that our commitment to excellent products and services has allowed our member base to grow immensely not just locally, but across the nation.”
MONEY named First Tech the best in Oregon in part due to its signature account, the Dividend Rewards Checking account, which offers one of the highest interest rates of any bank or credit union in the state at 1.58% annual percentage yield (APY) when requirements are met. First Tech was also praised in California for not only its competitive interest rate, but its impressive account terms, such as no monthly maintenance fees and free out-of-network ATM use.
Survey Methodology
In this year’s annual survey, MONEY compared the largest 90 brick-and-mortar banks, 50 credit unions, and 15 online banks – determined by consulting firm Novantas – as well as data collected by project partner Bankrate. Taking fees, account terms, and interest rates into consideration, MONEY selected a local winner to be named Best Bank in each state.
Using the same methodology, Bankrate compiled an even more selective roundup of best banks by choosing to honor only five credit unions in the country. Here, First Tech was recognized for the Dividend Rewards Checking account, which offers members one of the highest annual percentage yields available in the U.S.

It runs on kinetic energy and is therefore completely cable free. The more you move around, the faster it charges. The watch is made by Swiss watchmakers, designers and engineers who have teamed up with the best partners in each manufacturing sector. The 42mm watch is being funded energetically too.

Too many exams, too little sport: experts discuss barriers to participation Children today are 'too busy' for sport, experts have argued. Photo: Caters By Rosa Silverman 4:06PM BST 09 Aug 2012 :: Lack of understanding of sports by teachers Not every PE teacher understands every sport. Some sports, such as hockey, may appear too complicated to teachers, who are consequently deterred from teaching them, according to England Hockey. “Hockey is sometimes seen as a technical sport because of all the rules,” Holly Woodford, the organisation’s development director, said. “People do not always understand why the umpire’s blowing the whistle when they watch it. We have tried to make it easier for teachers to teach hockey in schools by launching packages to explain the game to them.” Only half of all secondary schools teach the sport, partly due to limited budgets, she said. It is cheaper to buy one football for 30 pupils than 30 hockey sticks. But the
