Introducing Desert Financial
The Perfect Fit For Agritopia
If you’re like many Agritopia residents, the neighborhood’s strong sense of
community factored into your decision to live here. It’s a place where neighbors
know each other, porches and parks are welcoming, and everyone comes together
to celebrate a connected existence.
Agritopia prioritizes well-being. And that’s something Desert Financial knows a lot
about. Our outstanding team at the Gilbert Gateway branch, conveniently located
near Agritopia at Power Rd. and E. Ray Rd., would love to tell you all about it. Come
visit us today!
Doing Good and Giving Back
Unlike big banks, Desert Financial is a not-for-profit credit union. Our very nature
focuses on helping our members thrive. Our passion is creating exceptional
experiences through solutions that empower financial well-being. And because we
are owned by our members, we can give more back to them and their communities,
including Agritopia.
It’s All About Community
If you live in Agritopia, you already feel like you’re part of a bigger purpose. You’re
invested in your community and the happiness of the people around you. At Desert
Financial, we feel the same way — we can improve personal and financial well-being
because our members support Desert Financial's purpose: sharing success to make
lives better.
Our local presence is the key to all of this. Desert Financial has been locally owned
since 1939 when 15 teachers pooled their money to start our credit union. Today, we
are proud to be Arizona’s largest credit union with more than 450,000 members. But
through it all, we have maintained our commitment to serving and giving back on a
local level. This comes in many forms, including volunteerism and Random Acts of
Kindness as well as Teacher Appreciation — thanking our educators by purchasing
classroom and breakroom supplies and hosting appreciation lunches at Arizona
schools, including Agritopia’s.
We Take Pride in Sharing Success
As a Desert Financial Member, you reap all of the benefits. Each year, we distribute a
portion of our earnings back to eligible members as a cash bonus — the Member
Giveback Bonus. This is our way of sharing financial success directly with those who
contribute to the credit union's growth and prosperity. In 2024, the Member
Giveback Bonus was $20 million, our biggest bonus yet!
