Two Deserets, One Goal
In the early 1980s, Lynn Bascom started Deseret Insurance Agency in a rented office space from Deseret First Credit Union. The two worked closely and in 2003, the Credit Union purchased the Agency in order to offer insurance services to its members. Today, Deseret Insurance Agency serves both CU members as well as the community.
Deseret First members get the perk of having the services of a credit union and the tools of an insurance agency right at their fingertips. Together, they can help you reach your goals of being financially stable and prepared for the road ahead.
