Introducing Granite’s Dividend+ Spend account, a dividend-earning checking account with an additional feature of paying a bonus dividend rate on your Granite Money Market account. Our Dividend+ Spend account has all the great features of a basic spend (checking) account but it pays you dividends when you have a balance of $5,000 or more. PLUS, when you maintain an average daily balance of $5,000 or more in your Dividend+ account, you’ll also receive a bonus dividend on top of the current market rate on your Money Market account. Compare the different features in the chart above. Granite Credit Union is always there so you can…get more from your money.
Already a member? If you want to upgrade your current checking account to a Dividend+ account, simply give us a call at 888-GCU-TEAM (888-428-8326) or stop by a branch. It takes about 30 seconds to switch.
