Simple, Affordable Estate Planning with Trust & Will
Helping our members plan for all of life’s moments is important to us. That’s why we’re working with Trust & Will, the leading online estate planning platform in the U.S., to provide you with an easy and affordable way to create your estate plan online from the comfort of your own home.
What does an estate plan do?
A lot of people hear the phrase “estate plan” and think it’s something only wealthy people need, but that’s a common misconception. The truth is everyone can benefit from having an estate plan in place, no matter their age or wealth.
With an estate plan, you can:
- Name guardians for your children.
- Designate beneficiaries to receive specific assets.
- Complete your important healthcare documents, including selecting a power of attorney.
- Specify your final arrangement wishes.
- Avoid probate (with a Trust-Based Estate Plan).
- Give your family peace of mind.
Learn more about estate planning basics.
Why does Grow recommend Trust & Will?
Sometimes, getting an estate plan drawn up can be complicated, time-consuming and expensive. We like that Trust & Will makes estate planning simple and accessible for everyone.
When you use Trust & Will, you can expect:
- Premiere security
- Top-rated member support
- Attorney-built documents customized by you
- An easy-to-use online platform
Plus, it’s fast. Most people complete their estate plan in less than 30 minutes! Trust & Will is designed to be user-friendly for everyday families. It’s a great fit for anyone with an uncomplicated estate, which typically includes less than $5 million in assets.
Here’s how it works:
- Answer a few simple questions to create your estate plan by deciding what’s right for you and your family — with all options customized to your specific needs.
- Instantly download or ship your documents.
- Finalize your documents and make them legally binding with your signature and a notary, at your convenience.

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
When it comes to making payments, we try to make it as painless as possible to pay your loan every month. We have several different ways to pay, including convenient online options.
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.
Log In
- Debit Card or ACH (Available for auto, personal loans and HELOCs)
Note: ACH and debit card payments are not available for credit cards or most mortgages, except HELOCs.
We accept ACH payments with no additional fees or Mastercard® and Visa® debit cards with a convenience fee of $4.95. To get started with an online ACH or debit card payment, select Pay Now below.

Pay by Mail
You can also pay any Grow loan by check through the mail. Please remember to include your account number and Grow loan number on the check. (For credit card payments, please do not write your 16-digit credit card number on the check, which can cause a delay in processing the payment.)
