Three Good Reasons for Refinancing Your Home Loan
When rates are as low as they are right now, it’s just smart for homeowners to look into refinancing. Basically, refinancing means paying off your current mortgage and taking out a new one. But you don’t have to take out the same type of mortgage you had before. Refinancing gives you lots of options.
1. Lower Your Monthly Payment.
Here, you keep the same term on your mortgage and refinance for a lower rate. Even just cutting half a percentage point off your current interest rate can significantly lower your monthly payment. Plus, you’ll save thousands in interest payments over the life of your loan.
2. Pay Off Your Home Faster.
Want to retire the mortgage early? Refinancing for a shorter term can get you there faster. While your monthly payments will likely increase, your shorter-term mortgage loans generally have the lowest rates, saving you big money on your way to living debt free.
3. Cash Out Equity.
As home values have been rising, many owners now find themselves sitting on a nice cushion of equity. That’s cash you can use for home improvements or to take care of a major expense, such as paying for college.

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.
