The Surprises You Want In
A Checking Account
When it comes to checking accounts, ours are pretty exciting. At Grow, we think giving you a choice of accounts is pretty cool. Each account is made for the way you manage your money. There’s Checkless Checking.1 Yes, checkless. And CashBack Checking,2 which is exactly as awesome as it sounds. But those aren’t the only surprises. Both accounts come with a Grow Visa® debit card and free services like more than 70,000 surcharge-free ATMs across our network,3 free mobile and online banking,4 and free direct deposit.
Grow CashBack Checking
Our checking pays you! You’ll earn an extra 5 cents with every qualifying swipe of your Grow Visa debit card.
Grow Checkless Checking
Checking without checks? We have the technology! Checkless Checking offers a simple, basic way to keep track of your spending, without checks or non-sufficient funds fees.
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.
Grow Checking Accounts are subject to ChexSystems® approval.

How to Find Your Routing & Account Numbers
When you make a payment online, by phone or on a mobile device, you may be asked for our routing number and your checking account number. Credit unions and banks use these numbers to identify accounts and make sure money gets where it’s supposed to be. You’ll also need to provide your routing and checking account numbers for:
- Direct deposits
- Electronic checks
- Military allotments
- Wire transfers
Where to Find Your Routing & Checking Account Numbers
Your personal checks include both our routing number and your account number, as shown on the Grow check example below.
Don’t have a Grow check? No worries.
