Should I Refinance? Benefits of Refinancing Your Mortgage or Auto Loan
You may love your car or your home, but how much are you paying for it? Is your monthly payment more than you think it should be? Are you asking yourself Should I refinance? Consider refinancing your auto loan or mortgage to take advantage of one or more of these benefits:
- Lower interest rate: Market rates are constantly changing. Whether you got your loan two months ago or two years ago, better interest rates may be available today! Refinancing with a lower rate means you’ll pay less in interest, saving you money over the life of the loan.
- Lower monthly payment: One of the most popular reasons for a refinance is to get a lower monthly payment. If you’re able to get a lower rate but keep the same term on your loan, your monthly payment could go down significantly, lowering your regular expenses.
- Fewer monthly payments: When you refinance, you can also choose a new term for your loan. If you’re not concerned about lowering your monthly payment and ditching debt fast is more your style, choose a shorter term. You’ll decrease the total number of payments you’ll have to make, getting you closer to paying off the loan completely.
- Access to equity: A cash out refinance on a mortgage will allow you to access the equity you have built up in your home. You can get a chunk of cash to help pay for a renovation or other major expense, giving you more flexibility in your spending.

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.
