Frequently Asked Questions
Most Asked Questions
As we continue to bring the systems of two institutions together, we are discovering efficiencies and enhancements that benefit members. Within these updates and upgrades, there will be impacts to accounts and products. We continue to honor our commitment to inform you of changes and provide clear direction, well ahead of time, if and when, it affects your banking relationship.
The following features, benefits and services will remain as they are, even after integration is completed:
- The First Tech name will remain in place.
- First Tech and DCU members can continue to perform transactions at their local branch.
- Your deposits continue to be federally insured by the NCUA.
- The same service and commitment to help you achieve your financial dreams!
- We will continue our commitment to supporting our communities through our volunteerism initiatives and philanthropic work.
As we continue to bring the two organization together, changes to certain accounts, products, services and banking relationships will happen in phases over time. The majority of accounts, direct deposits and automatic payments will continue without interruption. If and when a change affects you, we will communicate with you directly in advance and provide clear instructions so you can keep your accounts up to date and active. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and will support you very step of the way.
The rates we offer our members are always dependent on the general market and the external interest rate environment, and that process will never change. If you have a pre-existing mortgage or loan (student, auto, personal, etc,), the terms of your loan will not change because of the merger.
The name of the combined credit union is First Technology Federal Credit Union, or First Tech for short.
Merger Overview and Timeline
First Tech and DCU legally combined as one organization under the First Tech name on January 1, 2026. Now that we’re legally combined, we have begun the process of fully integrating our two organizations, with an anticipated complete integration in 2027. Until this operational integration, First Tech and DCU will continue day-to-day operations as separate divisions of a single legal entity under the assumed business names of First Tech Federal Credit Union and Digital Federal Credit Union. We’re committed to thoughtfully communicating changes far in advance to all of you – our members – and support you through them.
We will keep DCU.com/merger updated with more information. It’s an exciting time for your credit union, so thank you for your support! Of course, if you have any questions, please send an email to Merger@firsttechfed.com.
Accounts, Rates, and NCUA Coverage
If you have accounts at both credit unions, those accounts are now held by a single financial institution. This means that your total share insurance coverage for all of your DCU and First Tech accounts combined is up to $250,000 per individual, and an additional $250,000 total for any joint accounts. To learn more, visit our NCUA Insurance page. Please ensure you are using the correct routing numbers (DCU or First Tech) as applicable to perform transactions from your intended accounts.
We are thoughtfully planning our integration to ensure any potential changes in the months to come result in stronger benefits or enhanced features for you. Our priority is to make the transition as easy as possible for you in your day-to-day banking. We will communicate any changes far in advance and help members through them.
