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.
