Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: when you open an account we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

1Referral Program Details and Eligibility Requirements: Current Grow Financial members can earn $50 (“incentive”) by referring a new member to Grow. The incentive will be deposited into your Basic Savings Account 60 days after the referred person meets the requirements. If you have multiple Basic Savings Accounts, the incentive goes to the oldest account. You may earn up to 10 incentives per calendar year, totaling a maximum of $500. Your Grow accounts must remain in good standing to qualify.

To qualify, the referred person must meet membership eligibility requirements and be a first-time member, open a Basic Savings Account with $1 and a Grow CashBack or Checkless Checking Account with at least $100, enroll in online banking, and log in at least once. The referred person will receive the incentive as a deposit to their Basic Savings Account 60 days after completing the qualifying steps.

Incentives will not be issued if the checking account is closed at the time of distribution. Incentives are considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT. Self-referrals are not allowed. A primary member can refer a joint owner, as long as that person is not already a primary member on a different account. Participants must be 18 years old or above to be eligible for this offer.

Grow reserves the right to end or change the terms of this offer at any time prior to you accepting the offer, without notice.
