Here, Your Money Means More

We encounter a lot of financial jargon in our everyday lives: Net Worth. Account Balance. Return on Investment. What if these terms actually meant something more, something beyond the acronyms, spreadsheets and zeros in your account? Here at Grow Financial, we define money differently. Because when you put people first, money takes on a whole new meaning.

Come back each month for an interactive word search highlighting the deeper meaning behind common financial terms.

Home Equity

Home Equity is the value you build in your home over time — the difference between the amount you owe on the house and what it’s worth. But at Grow, we know Home Equity isn’t just built with money. It’s built with family, with friends, with the day-to-day moments that couldn’t happen anywhere else. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you find and finance a home that’s not just a place to live, but a place to grow.

HELOC Basics: Making the Most of Your Home’s Equity

If you’re a homeowner, you might already know that you’re building equity in your home over time. What you may not know is you can use the equity in your home to finance other things. That’s where a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) can come in handy.
