Lady that helped me open the account- she is outstanding and very knowledgeable and very detailed oriented
Lady that helped me open the account, she was outstanding, she went over everything in details and explain the whole process. I already have 2 of my kids open a new account as well a week later i opened mine. I will have my wife open her account also.

Horrible beginning experience with desert financial.
My experience with desert financial had been good until my second week of use. I mobile deposited my first full check late Thursday night which I expected to be available at some point on friday, i made 2 small purchases which put me in the negative and I subsequently got charged 3 $30 fees in a 12 hour span which were removed once I called to find out what’s going on but was told that because my account is new they put a hold on my entire check for 7 days because they have to verify the check since I did it by mobile deposit which has now put me in a bad spot for the week with no money. And all they could say is in the future it’s better to bring the check in to the bank or use direct deposit which I already set up it just hasn’t gone into effect. And the kicker is the check I mobile deposited came from the same company I opened the accounts with in the first place. So now I’m stuck being negative $40 in my account until this Friday when they’re supposed to release my funds.
