First Tech FCU!

Applied for the Odyssey card with First Tech last night, got a call in the morning from what I presume to me a UW, after verifying Identity 50,000 approval.

Asked to send last months bank statement, via email link, did so and got the call for 50k approval.

First, BIG CONGRATS on such a massive CL!!!

 

Question--  did they ask for last month's bank statement or Proof of Income (POI)? I could be wrong but it seems highly unusual to ask for bank statement. What would it show?

 

Anyone else here has had any experience with First Tech FCU?

 

Thanks!!!

Bank statements actually aren’t that unusual. Both Best Egg and Security Service FCU wanted to see my direct deposit amounts for the prior three months to verify my income as stated on the applications. Best Egg for a personal loan, SSFCU for a credit card. 

 

Its a way to verify estimated annual income without crossing the line into asking for tax returns - people are far more likely to give statements than to give tax returns.
