Open An Account in Online BankingImportant 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.Here’s How It Works
Step 1
Open either a Basic Savings + CashBack Checking account or a Basic Savings + Checkless Checking account (existing Grow members already have a Basic Savings account and will only need to open a checking account).
Step 2
Set up direct deposit with online and mobile banking.
Step 3
Make plans for your money. And once you’ve received two $500 direct deposits within 90 days, we’ll add the extra $300 to your account — easy as that.
