Sorry for denial but I guess asking a question if 39k in cash in account why did you need a personal loan and what amount were you asking for?  Likely the BK was your biggest hindering poimt on that being approved.

Going back several years, I considered trying to become a member. There was much discussion on this site about First Tech.

 

End result was, they were strict and picky. Do not remember the reasons. Does seem like I recall too many new credit bureau inquiries was one of them. I did not apply.

Re: First Tech Personal Loan denied

First Tech is terrible.  Not only are they "picky," as you point out, they don't follow through with their word.  They offered $300 for a direct deposit so I moved a DD to them, hit the account with $500 and they never paid out.  I then closed all my accounts.
