First Tech routing number

First Tech Federal Credit Union maintains a single routing number (321180379) for all transaction types and all locations across its six-state footprint. As a credit union focused on serving the technology industry since 1952, First Tech has prioritized streamlined operations and member convenience. Unlike large banks that maintain multiple routing numbers from acquired institutions, First Tech's growth from its origins as Tektronix Federal Credit Union to serving over 700,000 members has been guided by operational efficiency. The single routing number simplifies ACH transfers, wire transfers, direct deposits, and check processing for members regardless of whether they opened their account in Oregon, California, Washington, or any other state where First Tech operates.

First Tech Federal Credit Union charges $20 for each outgoing domestic wire transfer and $65 for each outgoing international wire transfer. Incoming wire transfers may incur fees from the sending financial institution. These fees can add up quickly for businesses or individuals making regular wire transfers. For non-urgent payments, ACH transfers through First Tech's online banking are free and can be set up as external transfers, though they take 3-5 business days to process compared to the 1-2 business day processing time for domestic wires.

First Tech Federal Credit Union processes domestic wire transfers within 1-2 business days and international wire transfers take a minimum of 2 business days. Wire requests submitted online before 12:00 PM Pacific Time, or at a branch before 2:00 PM Pacific Time on Monday through Friday, are initiated on the same business day. ACH transfers (Electronic Funds Transfers) take 3-5 business days to process but have no associated fees and can be set up as external transfers through online banking. The timing difference makes wire transfers ideal for urgent payments, while ACH transfers work well for regular bill payments and non-urgent transfers.

Yes, First Tech Federal Credit Union offers international wire transfer services. For international wires, you will need to provide First Tech's routing number (321180379) and SWIFT code (FTFCUS66). Note that First Tech does not have an IBAN number, as IBAN codes only apply to foreign institutions. When receiving money from a foreign country, the funds go through another financial institution as an intermediary. Outgoing international wire transfers cost $65, and you are responsible for any international correspondent bank fees that may apply. International wire transfers can be sent through online banking or by visiting a First Tech location.
