Beyond Basic Savings: More Savings Options at Grow

Saving is a cornerstone of financial stability and security, offering a safety net for unexpected expenses. By consistently setting aside a portion of your income, you create a buffer against emergencies and reduce reliance on debt to cover unforeseen costs. Saving enables you to pursue your long-term goals and aspirations, whether that’s buying a home, traveling or retiring comfortably. It also provides a sense of freedom and peace of mind. Ultimately, saving is not just about accumulating wealth — it’s about building a foundation for a more secure and fulfilling future.

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 seconds 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.
