Desert Financial provides NAU-branded debit cards, delivers financial literacy education and supports initiatives like the Scores for Scholarship program at the university. 
The branch is located inside the University Union. Last year, Desert Financial Credit Union became the official banking partner of NAU Athletics and the NAU Alumni Association, marking the start of a 10-year agreement with the university.
“At Desert Financial, we’re dedicated to helping students build financial skills that will last well beyond their time at NAU,” said Desert Financial President and CEO Jeff Meshey. “This new branch will make it easier for students, faculty and the rest of the NAU community to access the tools and support they need to reach their financial goals.”
The NAU branch – located at 1050 S. Knoles Drive, Suite 125 – will be the second Desert Financial location in Flagstaff. It is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The branch provides a full range of financial services but will not handle cash transactions. Cash can be deposited or withdrawn at the credit union’s on-campus ATM, located outside of the NAU Bookstore.
The new location will be staffed by six employees and led by Branch Manager Eric Macry.
Desert Financial provides NAU-branded debit cards, delivers financial literacy education and supports initiatives like the Scores for Scholarship program at the university. Through a generous gift of $333,333.33 over 10 years to the NAU Foundation, Desert Financial will fund scholarships for five undergraduate students annually, including one student-athlete.
For each touchdown scored by NAU Football and each three-pointer scored by NAU Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Desert Financial contributes to the Scores for Scholarships. FBN
