How to Join Desert Financial Federal Credit Union
Credit unions differ from banks in that they restrict membership based on a shared common bond, or the credit union’s “field of membership”.
That means in order to qualify for this bonus (or any offer from a credit union), you'll first need to meet one of Desert Financial's membership requirements:
To become a member of Desert Financial Credit Union, you must meet any one of the following requirements:- Live, work, attend school, volunteer or worship in Arizona (with the exception of Apache, Graham, Greenlee and Santa Cruz counties)
- Be an immediate family member of a current Desert Financial member
- Be a Desert Financial employee
Keep in mind that nearly all credit unions have a "once a member, always a member" policy, so once you're in, the above restrictions no longer apply.
