First Tech & DCU: A Credit Union Power Couple is Forming!
Published on December 13, 2025, 9:22 PM
Heads up, awardtrail readers! Two credit unions known for their sweet signup bonuses and deals are getting hitched. First Tech Federal Credit Union and Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) are planning to merge, creating one massive financial institution. The deal is expected to close January 1, 2026, and the combined entity will be called First Technology Federal Credit Union. Why should you care? Well, both First Tech and DCU have been favorites in the points and miles community thanks to their attractive offers. First Tech is known for signup bonuses, while DCU often has referral bonuses and 0% APR deals. A merger could mean changes to these perks, both good and bad. It's too early to say exactly what will happen, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on. It might be a good time to jump on any existing offers from either credit union before the merger goes through and things potentially change!
