Did You Know?

Everyone in your household benefits from everyone’s relationship at Desert Financial. A “household” includes all Desert Financial members who reside at your address. It’s our way of expanding benefits to include your entire family. This means you can combine points! For example, if you have another person in your household and they have one Relationship Rewards point for Borrowing (a loan), and you have one point for Saving, together you have two Relationship Rewards points.
