Desert Financial Credit Union stands as a testament to the spirit of community and cooperation. Established in 1939 by a group of fifteen Arizona teachers who pooled their resources, our credit union has grown to become Arizona’s largest, boasting over 400,000 members and assets exceeding $8.2 billion. As a not-for-profit institution, owned by our members, we prioritize giving back to the community.
Our unique structure enables us to channel our success into tangible benefits for our members and the broader community. By operating as a member-owned cooperative, we can focus on providing exceptional financial services while reinvesting earnings to offer competitive rates, low fees, and a wide range of products to meet our members’ diverse needs.
At Desert Financial, we take pride in our commitment to education, a value rooted in our founding by teachers. This legacy inspires us to go beyond financial services and actively contribute to the well-being of our members and Arizona communities. Join us as we continue to build a stronger, more prosperous future together.
