You may have heard that Congress reached an agreement for a new COVID-19 Relief bill, that includes direct stimulus payments to taxpayers. Since these payments would be expected to arrive at a nonspecific date over the next few weeks, you might find yourself checking your account frequently. We want to make sure you know how to set up notifications in online banking so you can be alerted to new deposits. For your convenience, you can set up notifications in online banking to inform you of deposits, so you’ll be notified immediately when your stimulus check posts to your account.

For initial set up of Automatic Deposit and other notifications, you can use online banking or our mobile banking app.^* When setting up, you can choose to turn on phone and/or email notifications. Here’s how:

Online banking:

• Log in to your account on growfinancial.org.
• Select the Settings widget. (If it isn’t already visible, select the More icon in the left-hand column.)
• Click on the Notifications tab.
• View the list of notification options. You can use the individual settings icons in the right-hand column to turn each type of notification on, if desired. When applicable, you can activate email and phone alerts individually.

Mobile banking app:

• Log in to your account on the mobile app.
• Click More menu in the navigation.
• Select the Settings widget. (If it isn’t already visible, select Others from the menu.)
• View the list of notification options. You can turn notifications on by clicking each alert type you want to set up. When applicable, you can activate email and phone alerts individually.
