Desert Financial Credit Union

Founded in 1939 by 15 teachers with just $78.75, Desert Financial Credit Union has grown to become Arizona's largest credit union. As a not-for-profit cooperative, it is owned by its members. Instead of paying stockholders, the credit union returns its profits to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and fewer fees. Its mission is to share success with its members, the community, and its team, and it is heavily involved in local community giving and support throughout Arizona.
