Case Study: First Tech Federal Credit Union achieves secure, scalable API innovation with Apigee

First Tech Federal Credit Union Partnering for innovation with APIs

First Tech Federal Credit Union needed a more mature API management platform to support partnerships with fintechs and other companies, so it could launch new online and mobile offerings for its tech-savvy members. The credit union had an internal API gateway, but it lacked the ability to securely expose and manage public APIs at the scale and consistency required for its growing ecosystem.

Google Cloud’s Apigee API Platform was implemented to provide the security, scalability, monitoring, analytics, and reporting needed to manage partner-facing APIs. With Apigee, First Tech gained greater agility, speed, and control, and positioned itself to expand services and channels while maintaining strong security and support; the credit union also expects the platform to help drive long-term membership growth and future capabilities like rate limits and monetization.
