Beyond Basic Savings: More Savings Options at Grow
Grow membership starts with a Basic Savings Account, but your savings options don’t stop there. We make saving easier with smart accounts and competitive dividends that help you make the most of what you’ve got.

Earn competitive dividends on your savings while still having access to your money. A Money Market Account is perfect for saving for an emergency fund, a down payment on a home, a vacation or another big goal. Learn more.Certificate Account

Need a little motivation while you save for a big goal? Check out our Get Fit Account. Earn a higher dividend compared to the Basic Savings Account and get a $100 bonus when your balance reaches $10,000. Learn more.The Importance of Saving
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 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.
Visit any Grow store and ask for a Direct Deposit Form. It lists both your routing number and checking account number.
Making a Loan Payment

Pay Online
You have two ways to pay online by transferring funds from another bank or credit union.
- Grow Online Banking (Preferred payment method for any loan)
This is the simplest way to pay your loan. You can make one-time payments or set up automatic recurring payments in Grow Online Banking. Once you log in, select “Transfer/Payments” from the menu. If you’re not enrolled in Grow Online Banking yet, you can set up your account in just a few minutes.
