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.

Granite has made making safe and affordable access to high-quality financial products and services for all a top priority. In 2022, we were awarded a BankOn National Account Standards certification for our Simple Spend account, designed to help establish and improve the financial stability of unbanked or underbanked individuals. In 2023, we received the Juntos Avanzamos designation for our efforts to reach out to the Hispanic community in the Salt Lake area.

We’re always there, so when you use your card worldwide, wherever Visa is accepted, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes with Visa’s Zero Liability Policy.
Our spend cards are designed to be swiped, inserted, or used contactless to make buying super convenient.
So, whether you shop in person or in your pj’s, we’ll make it safe and simple to buy the things you need.
