Extraordinary customer service!!
I went into the bank to open a new account. I had to sign in at the teller’s window and they were polite and friendly. I was then called to the back and the woman who helped was extremely pleasant and was a joy to work with. I’d highly recommend Desert Financial Credit Union to everyone!!

I had a 54 year career in banking and worked my way up to VP in Commercial/Retail Sales and Branch Management and I found your bank to be knowledgeable in your banks products, had superior sales skills and friendly and efficient during the opening process. We opened 2 checking accounts with debit cards,and a savings accounts. He set set both of us on our online banking apps and cross sold us on your trust and investment services. We have an appointment on
