Credit Union
Grow isn’t a bank. We’re a credit union. That means we’re not-for profit and owned by our members — not by corporate stockholders. You might wonder, “Are credit unions safe?” Absolutely. We are insured by the NCUA, keeping your money safe and secure. As a credit union, we put you first. From the rates we offer to the services we provide, we’re dedicated to serving you every step of the way.
How to Become a Grow Member
Managing your finances shouldn’t be intimidating, which is why we’ve made becoming a Grow member accessible and easy. The first step is opening a Basic Savings Account. Once you’ve done this, we have several account options to help you manage and grow your money.
When you open a Basic Savings Account, we invest our profits in you, helping you enjoy today while saving for tomorrow. That means you can still enjoy your favorite cup of coffee or craft beer while saving for life’s next adventure.

About Grow
Ever since we were founded in 1955, Grow has been more about people than profit. Since banks back then didn’t really understand how to work with service members, a group of civilian employees at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa decided that base personnel needed their own credit union. These employees cleared out a broom closet, and the MacDill Air Force Base Federal Credit Union was born. The next couple of decades were a boom time for the Sunbelt, and our credit union welcomed all kinds of people, not just military personnel. As we grew with the community, we became Grow. The name reflected the essence of who we are and what we set out to do — help people grow. Personally. Professionally. Financially. And after 60 years, we’re just getting started.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What does this mean for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
