If you live in the Tampa Bay Area, you may have heard that our headquarters building at 9927 Delaney Lake Drive is up for sale! That’s right. After two decades in our current building, we’re moving forward with plans to relocate our headquarters to another spot in Tampa. Here’s the scoop on why we’re making a change.
Why is Grow Headquarters moving?
When we originally built our headquarters building in the early 2000s, it was designed and constructed to meet our needs at the time — safe and comfortable with plenty of room for a wide variety of departments and team members to conduct regular business. Fast forward to 2023 and our needs look a little different.
At the onset of the pandemic in 2020, much of our corporate workforce became distributed as we adopted hybrid or remote work options. This gave our team members the flexibility to work from home, headquarters and a variety of store office locations around Tampa Bay and South Carolina. With an incredibly productive few years behind us and an engaged, reliable team in place, work-from-home and hybrid work has become a permanent part of our strategy. (In fact, team member feedback, including many positive remarks about our newfound flexibility, enabled us to rank #6 on the Tampa Bay Times Top Workplaces list for 2023!)
As a result, we no longer need all the space afforded to us by our five-story headquarters building. We’ve listed our building for sale and are in the process of finding a space that’s the right size to fit our current needs.
Where will Grow Headquarters be located next?
With roots on MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, we’re definitely here to stay in Tampa Bay! While we aren’t ready to share the exact location just yet, we’re considering several exciting new developments in Tampa as potential locations for our headquarters building. We look forward to being part of Tampa’s renewed growth strategy as we move to a more central location. What we’re aiming for is a streamlined, modern space that offers a variety of collaborative and innovative spaces for our team. Stay tuned for additional news over the coming months as the pieces come together!

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

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.)

However, if you miss a payment, or can't make your payment, we may report your account to the credit bureaus, which may have a negative effect on your credit score. Unfortunately, we're not able to change the payment due date or take partial payments or installments.
Grow Financial ranked number six for the state of Florida, an honor we're so humbled to receive. “The fact that during a global pandemic we've been able to earn a top spot on the Forbes list is truly humbling and validates the incredible hard work of our entire team,” Thomas Feindt, Chief Executive Officer, said.

Technically, the lender has ownership of the car until you have fulfilled the agreement. This applies to a variety of car finance types, including Hire Purchase and Personal Contract Purchase. If you default on your payments, the lender has the power to take back the car.
If your monthly payments are more than 30 days late, the lender may report the delinquent balance to the credit bureaus, which will drop your credit score by a few points. Most lenders will use your FICO score when looking at your credit health, and 35 percent of the score comprises your payment history.
1. If you are seeking a payment deferment, please visit growfinancial.org/covid-19, select the Financial Assistance tab, and complete the contact form so our team can reach out. We are offering payment assistance on all loan products, with the exception of interest-only HELOCs.
Once you complete the steps above, you'll be able to transfer money in and out of the account, up to a daily maximum of $10,000, with no additional fees.
In the same way that the federal government protects banks and their depositors, it also protects the money you have in credit unions, like Grow. That means the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) insures share accounts in federally insured credit unions for $250,000 per qualifying account.

Most lenders will restrict how often you can skip a loan payment to prevent it from negatively affecting your loan. Typically, you can skip a payment once every six to twelve months. However, assume you have a 6-year (72-month) auto loan, and you skip a payment every six months.
Deferment can temporarily pause your loan payments while keeping your accounts current. Lenders usually ask for proof of financial hardship to approve you for loan deferment. While payments aren't required, interest may continue to accrue.
Courtesy Pay will cover ATM withdrawals and Visa® everyday debit card transactions on your checking account. If you would like to opt out of Courtesy Pay at any point, you can visit any Grow Financial store, log in to your online banking account or contact us at 800.839. 6328.
