Pet Insurance: Peace of Mind for You and Care for Your Pet
We all love our pets. They’re part of our families, providing us with companionship, joy and unconditional love. But just like any family member, they can face health issues and accidents. That’s where pet insurance comes in, offering a safety net to ensure your furry friends receive the care they need without causing financial stress.
Enjoy the benefits of pet insurance.
Are you wondering, “Do I need pet insurance?” For most people, pet insurance is a smart idea because it ensures quality care for your pet and minimizes financial surprises.
The costs of veterinary care can add up quickly. Pets may suffer from allergies, swallow a toy, cut their paw, experience skin problems or encounter any number of other common health issues that veterinarians treat regularly. While you can’t predict when your pet might get sick or hurt, you can be prepared with pet insurance.
Pet insurance works similarly to health insurance for their human counterparts. It helps cover the costs of veterinary care, particularly for unexpected emergencies. While it won’t necessarily cover everything, pet insurance can significantly reduce the financial burden of caring for your pet.
Pet insurance provides:
- Financial protection: Vet bills can become expensive, especially in emergencies. Pet insurance helps manage unexpected costs so your pet gets the best care without breaking the bank. Depending on your plan, you may get coverage for accidents, illnesses and regular wellness visits.
- Peace of mind: With pet insurance, you’ll be less likely to face difficult decisions based on cost. You’ll minimize the worry that the cost of a surgery or other procedure could stand in the way of quality care for your pet.
The best option for pet insurance is the one that fits your budget and your needs. With Solace Insurance LLC, Grow Financial members have a convenient, time-saving and cost-effective option. Solace Insurance will do the research for you, finding the best option at an affordable rate.

How to Find Your Routing & Account Numbers
When setting up direct deposit, making an electronic payment or transferring money between financial institutions, you’ll typically need two unique numbers:
- Grow’s routing number: 263182914
- Your account number for external transfers and direct deposit
For direct deposits, ACH payments, external account transfers, military allotments, tax refund direct deposit, wire transfers and other transactions outside of Grow, use the Account Number (For External Transfers and Direct Deposit).
When another company, employer or financial institution asks for your Account Number, this is the number they need. Be sure to include all the zeros at the beginning of your Account Number.
Where to find your Account Number
Locate your full account number in just a few steps using Grow Online or Mobile Banking.*
- Log in and select the correct account from your dashboard overview.
- Select Account Details above your transaction activity list.
- Locate the number labeled Account Number (For External Transfers and Direct Deposit).
You will also find Grow’s routing number and your Account Number on a check. as shown on the Grow check example below.
Understanding the difference between your Member Number and Account Number
When viewing your account details in Grow Online Banking or Mobile Banking, you’ll also see your Member Number (For Internal Transfers Only). This number is used within Grow and may include a suffix such as:
- -0001 for a Basic Savings account
- -0015 for a Checking account
These suffixes help us identify different account types within your membership.
You can use your Member Number for:
- Setting up internal transfers to another Grow member
- Resetting your online banking username or password
Remember, don’t use your Member Number (For Internal Transfers Only) when setting up transactions with another financial institution, or the transactions may not go through.
