By 1970, the credit union had grown to 6,320 members and $3.5 million in assets. The 1980s heralded a period of exponential growth in Silicon Valley, and the credit union mirrored this expansion. In a strategic move, it rebranded itself as Technology Federal Credit Union, widening its membership to embrace employees from various technology companies, a visionary step that propelled its assets to $50 million.

Now known as Technology Credit Union (Tech CU), introduced its pioneering “Anytime: Anywhere” delivery system, thereby revolutionizing the way members interacted with their financial services, ensuring access to account information from their homes, be it through telephone or the internet.
