  • FAQ | Vibrant Credit Union

    Most(!) frequently asked questions Most (!) frequently asked questions What is my Vibrant routing number? 271183646 ​ You'll also find it in the footer of every page of this website! ​ How do I reset my online banking password? You can reset your password online if you have your username. We’ll ask you to verify your personal information as part of the process. Forgotten your username ? Hey, it happens! Just verify your personal information at the link, and you can get your username via email, text, or a voice call. Can I get a document notarized at a Vibrant location? Do I need to bring a witness? Some Vibrant branches do have a licensed notary among their staff, but unfortunately, it’s not a service we can guarantee will be available at all hours or at every location. If you do bring a document to be notarized at one of our branches, you will also need to bring someone with you to witness the document, as Vibrant employees cannot serve in that capacity. ​ If we’re not able to help, notary services are also frequently available at public libraries, post offices, and other government buildings.

Where are your branches located? Use this map to find the branch nearest you, as well as surcharge-free ATMs in the area. Deposits How do I deposit a check? There are three ways to deposit a check: at a Vibrant branch; at Vibrant ATMs located at the Moline (South Park and Vibrant HQ ), or Geneseo branches; or via the Vibrant mobile app. Download the mobile app for Android or Apple devices. Open the app and choose DEPOSIT CHECK from the menu at the bottom of the screen. Endorse your check, along with the words “For Mobile Deposit Only.” Choose the account where you want the deposit to go, enter the amount of the deposit, then take a photo of the front and back of the check. Submit your deposit! (If it’s before 4 p.m. CT on a business day, your deposit will appear by 6 p.m. at the latest. If it’s later, your deposit will post at noon on the next business day.) You'll receive an email from enstenta.monitor@jackhenry.com confirming your deposit. When will funds from my mobile deposit appear in my account? Deposit Approved Posted to Account 12 a.m. – 10 a.m. 12 p.m. 10:01 a.m. – 1 p.m. 2 p.m. 1:01 p.m. – 4 p.m. 6 p.m. 4:01 p.m. – 11:59 p.m. 12 p.m. on next business day We do not post deposits on Saturdays, Sundays, or federal holidays. One thing to remember—the time you submit a mobile deposit is not necessarily the same time that it is "accepted." You'll receive an email once we have reviewed your mobile deposit and submitted it for posting. My mobile deposit was denied—what’s the reason? It could be as simple as an unclear photo—make sure your camera lens is clean, put the check in front of a dark background, and try again! If that doesn’t help, make sure the deposit amount you’ve entered matches the amount of the check. Also make sure the written amount of the check (“XX and xx/100 dollars”) matches the numeric amount. Make sure all payees have endorsed the check (along with the words "For mobile deposit only") and that it is being deposited into an account owned by all payees. It also needs to be endorsed by all payees, and be deposited into an account owned by all payees. Make sure the amount of the check doesn’t exceed your daily deposit limit (you’ll find that number under the DEPOSIT AMOUNT field in the app). Finally, checks that are expired or were issued more than six (6) months ago will not be accepted—ask the payer to replace the check if this is the case. If your check is not accepted for mobile deposit, you should receive an email from enstenta.monitor@jackhenry.com explaining the reason for the denial. How do I set up direct deposit? Contact your employer, brokerage, or other entity that issues you a recurring check to let them know you’d like to set up direct deposit. They’ll ask you for your routing number (that’s 271183646 at Vibrant), account number, and account type (checking or savings). Once they’ve set up the information, you should see your next check direct-deposited to your account. When does my direct deposit show up in my account? Your direct deposit will appear in your account when Vibrant receives it. If your employer has sent the deposit but you don’t see it, contact them to verify the routing number, account number, and account type (checking or savings) they have on file for you. Why was a hold placed on my deposit? In general, we try to make any funds you deposit available to you on the same business day (as long as you make the deposit before 4 p.m. CT). In certain situations, however, we will place a hold on the deposit until we receive confirmation from the financial institution that issued the payment. The most common reasons for this are: Your deposit totaled more than $5,525 in a single day Your total deposit was larger than the balance available in your account Your account has been opened within the last 30 days The deposited check comes from an out-of-state financial institution If you need the funds immediately, make sure to ask when the funds will be available at the time you make the deposit. I lost my debit and/or credit card! What can I do? First, contact us immediately so we can ensure no fraudulent transactions are approved before you get a replacement card. Replacement cards are $10 and can be printed while you wait at any Vibrant branch—or, if you're willing to wait 7–10 days for delivery, we can mail your new card to you Can someone else pick up a replacement card for me? To protect your account, you will need to pick up your replacement card yourself and show government-issued photo ID. I received a call and/or text about fraud on my card. Is this legit? It depends. If we detect suspicious activity on your account, Vibrant will text and call you to confirm whether the transaction is legitimate. If you don’t reply to the message to confirm that it’s a legitimate transaction, we will place a temporary freeze on your card to ensure your funds remain safe. However, there's a common scam that has affected some of our members that you should be aware of—"spoofing." Your Caller ID may show Vibrant's name or phone number, but the call might actually be coming from a scammer. Or you may receive a text that says it's from Vibrant when it's not. To protect yourself, never share the following information with any unsolicited contact: Your credit or debit card number Your Vibrant account number Your full Social Security Number Your PIN Your online banking username and/or password In addition, if someone texts you a link and tells you to click it to confirm or deny your transaction, DON'T CLICK IT. Vibrant will not ask you to provide a confirmation number that we sent you to confirm a transaction, and we will never disclose the items you purchased. If you're not sure whether you've received a legitimate request, don't hesitate to contact our member contact center or send us a secure message through online banking. What is the periodic finance charge on my credit card statement? That’s the amount of interest that has accrued on your balance since your last statement. If you don’t pay your balance in full each month, you will be charged interest on the amount of your remaining balance. Please note—per the terms of your Mastercard account agreement , both cash advances and balance transfers will be charged interest as soon as those charges are made. Regular purchases have a grace period before interest begins to accrue. Debit & credit cards How do I transfer money from Vibrant to another financial institution? The easiest way is through your online account. First, link the external account where you want to send money to your Vibrant account. Whether you use the mobile app or online banking to add an external account, we will verify the information is correct by making two small deposits into that external account and ask you to verify them from your Vibrant account. You’ll also receive a call from our fraud team to confirm that you wish to connect to this external account. How do I set up automatic payments? If you wish to make a recurring payment, choose BILL PAY from the main menu of either the Vibrant app or your online account. Set up a payee Choose ADD PAYEE, designate whether they’re a business or an individual, then whether you want to issue payment via a check, SMS, ACH (digital) transfer, or email. Enter their payment details. Set up a payment From the Bill Pay dashboard, choose your PAYEE, then choose MAKE A PAYMENT. Enter the amount of the payment you want to make, and choose the frequency (from weekly to annually and everything in between), the date when you want the first payment to be made, and the number of times you want to make payments (or, alternatively, the date when you want to stop making payments). How long does it take for a transfer from Vibrant to be deposited at an external institution? All electronic payments take about 3 to 5 business days to be completed. ACH transfers & payments How do I set up online banking? Go to the login drop-down in the upper right hand corner of the Vibrant website and choose “No User ID? Enroll in online banking.” Just confirm your name, birthdate, SSN, and email address, and you’re ready to go! Help! I forgot my username and/or password for online banking. It happens to all of us occasionally! It’s easy to recover this information. On the main login screen, choose the “Forgot User ID?” or “Forgot Password?” links. How do I add my Vibrant debit or credit card to my mobile wallet? APPLE Go to the Wallet app on your iPhone or iPad and tap the plus (+) sign to get started. ANDROID Go to the Google Pay app on your phone or tablet and tap the +ADD TO WALLET button. Can I use my Vibrant debit or credit card with Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, etc.? Yes you can!

  • 4 tips for better money management

    4 tips for better money management Have high prices got you looking for ways to stretch your dollars? We’re sharing our money management best practices to help you stretch your dollars, create an inflation-proof budget, and increase your savings. Discover how you can manage your money wisely in any economy. Want to be more financially savvy? These tips will help you skillfully manage your money Have high prices got you looking for ways to stretch your dollars? We’re sharing our money management best practices to help you stretch your dollars, create an inflation-proof budget, and increase your savings. Discover how you can manage your money wisely in any economy. Create an inflation-proof budget Rising prices can make it feel impossible to create a budget that allows you to enjoy life and still build your savings. But it is possible. Here's how to get started. Review your expenses. The first step to creating a budget is to review your bills and expenses. This is a great way to track where your money goes each month. Are you spending too much on dining out? Could you get a better deal if you switch cell phone providers? Are you paying for music and video streaming services that you don’t use anymore? Reviewing expenses gives you a better understanding of how your money is being spent and how you can modify your choices to live a more financially successful life. Increase your income. Take a look at your current salary and compare it to other people in similar roles (Glassdoor's salary index is a great place to start). Is it in line with industry averages for your role? If not, consider negotiating a higher salary with your current employer. Another option is to move to a different company. Protocol reports professionals who job-hopped in the past few years “received a 30% increase in salary.”If increasing your salary isn’t possible now, there are other ways to grow your checking account balance. Many individuals are starting side-hustles to supplement their income. If you have many years of experience in an industry, you can offer consulting or training services. If you have musical talent, you can perform at gigs or give music lessons. And, if you’re on social media all the time, consider that social media management and blogging are considered some of the most profitable side jobs. Expand your professional skills. Learning new skills can open up new job opportunities—and access to industries where you may not have experience. Start saving In addition to modifying your budget and increasing your income, saving money is a vital part of money management. Set aside a fixed amount to deposit into your savings account each month. It doesn’t have to be a large amount—you can start with 5 percent and increase that amount as your earnings increase. What’s important is to make savings a habit. Consider setting up an automatic transfer to savings every time you get paid. Invest for the future Investing can sound scary, but it doesn’t have to be. Investing is simply making your money work for you instead of having it sit in your bank account. Even if you’re not ready to invest in the stock market, putting your money in a high-yield savings account or a certificate of deposit can produce profitable results. If you’re not sure how or where to start investing your money, talk to a financial adviser for help evaluating your various investment choices. Review your retirement options Planning ahead for your golden years ensures your retirement will be enjoyable and relatively stress-free. If your employer offers a retirement plan like a 401(k), it’s a great idea to start investing in it as soon as you can, especially if they offer a matching contribution. If you don’t have access to an employer plan, or if you want to save more than your employer’s plan allows, you have two options for opening an individual retirement account (IRA). Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) A traditional individual retirement account is funded with pre-tax money. This means you have the benefit of getting a tax deduction on your contribution. Be aware: This means you may owe taxes on the money when you withdraw it. You will also not be able to withdraw funds until you reach the age of 59½. Expect your retirement savings needs to change over time, especially if you change employers. Investopedia notes, “Rolling your money over into an IRA will often reduce the management and administrative fees you've been paying.” Your financial advisor can counsel you on the best course of action to take for your retirement funds.

  • How We Protect Your Money | Vibrant Credit Union

    How we protect your money ​ When it comes to financial services, security is the name of the game. Our federal savings deposit insurance covers up to $250,000 for regular savings and checking accounts, even IRAs. How’s that for a little peace of mind? ​ Security The National Credit Union Administration is the federal agency that insures credit unions, much in the same way that the FDIC insures banks. They cap their coverage at $250,000 per depositor, per institution, for each account ownership category. The whole thing can get a bit confusing, but the idea is there is some wiggle room. Government protection IRAs are insured separately from your other regular accounts, with the same maximum of $250,000. This means that, between your IRA and regular checking, you can trust Vibrant with half a million of your hard-earned dollars—and maybe even more. Your retirement is covered For example, families can leverage their multiple accounts to increase their coverage beyond the $250,000 limit. If it seems complicated, don’t worry. We can help you set up your accounts to ensure you are getting optimum coverage. Using more accounts for more coverage

  • How to set a wedding budget and stick to it

    How to set a wedding budget and stick to it According to an Investopedia survey, American couples spent an average of about $20,000 on their weddings in 2021—a decrease of about $9,000 from the previous year, but still enough to buy a decent new car or pay for a year of tuition and board at your state’s flagship university. How much is a realistic wedding budget? According to an Investopedia survey, American couples spent an average of about $20,000 on their weddings in 2021—a decrease of about $9,000 from the previous year, but still enough to buy a decent new car or pay for a year of tuition and board at your state’s flagship university. Yet even with that five-figure budget, many brides and grooms will admit they still had to scale back their wish list to avoid spending even more—by inviting fewer people, having a cocktail reception instead of a sit-down dinner, or hosting the event in a park instead of a hotel ballroom. Many of us expect a wedding to be the most perfect day of our lives, a day when every detail is the most beautiful it can be. This is a risky way to approach wedding planning—partly because there are so many opportunities for things to go wrong, but mostly because couples can wind up spending a lot more than they planned on. The fact is, you can throw a pretty wonderful wedding for $10,000, $5,000, or even $1,000. (For that last amount, it helps if the bride already owns an appropriate dress, and you’re okay with a wedding reception that takes the form of dinner for 12 at a favorite restaurant.) Start with a dollar figure and plan your wedding accordingly Wedding planners generally advise that, no matter the size of your budget, you should plan to allocate your expenses along the following lines: 50% – venue, food, and drink (including your wedding cake) 12% – photography 9% – clothes, makeup, hair, and accessories 8% – décor 7% – entertainment 3% – wedding planner or coordinator 2% – invitations and thank-you cards 2% – officiant and license 2% – transportation 2% – wedding bands 2% – gifts for guests and attendants If you’re absolutely certain that you’ll be happy with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth speaker instead of a live band or that you won’t need a wedding planner, congratulations! That’s more money for your food and drink budget. Now it’s time to see how to get the most bang for your buck with the items you do want. Save money on your wedding venue by choosing the right date You really can get married on a day other than Saturday and in a month other than June. In fact, your venue rental could be significantly less expensive if you choose to get married in January, March, April, or November. In addition, Mondays are generally the least expensive day of the week to rent a venue, with prices rising the closer you get to the weekend. Of course, it may be difficult for your out-of-town guests to make it to a Wednesday wedding—or for locals to make it to work the day after if you do it up right. Save money at your reception by offering a limited selection of alcoholic beverages If you plan to serve alcohol at your wedding, you don’t need to resort to a cash bar to keep it affordable. Consider limiting your selection to beer and wine only. If you can’t imagine getting married without sipping a Negroni because that’s what you drank on your first date, make them your signature cocktail. Mixing just one type of drink will make it easier on your bartender and minimize your total bar bill. If you don’t plan to serve alcohol at your wedding, imagine the people who you know will grumble about the lack of booze, and then … Save money on your reception by trimming your guest list Think back on the weddings you’ve attended. Even setting aside the ceremonies where you served as someone else’s plus-one, you can probably think of a few where you were invited because your parents are friends with the couple’s parents, because you're good friends at work, or because the groom is your cousin, and your grandma would be sad if you weren’t there. Cutting your guest list can be one of the most painful negotiations you’ll ever make with your spouse, your parents, and your in-laws. It’s also a guaranteed money-saver. Finally, choose carefully now, and maybe you won’t feel a pang 10 years from now when you realize the last time you saw your old college friends was at your wedding reception—that happens more often than you’d think. Save money by skipping a fancy cake Those multi-tiered wedding cakes are expensive—and after they're sliced, there’s not a lot of difference between them and any other cake. In fact, they’re as much décor as they are food—they cost more not because they taste better than regular cake, but because it’s a practical challenge to bake a single cake large enough to serve 50 people. Still want a dessert that will look lovely on display at your reception? Consider getting a tiered stand (or a couple!) and filling it with cupcakes. Save money by understanding your priorities While the guidelines above offer a good starting point for how you’ll spend your budget, take a look at your priorities. If you’ve always looked forward to wearing a beautiful custom-fitted dress that makes you feel like a princess, but you don’t care as much about floral centerpieces on every table, go ahead and adjust accordingly. If you’ve always imagined stepping out for your first dance as a live band plays "Wouldn’t It Be Nice", but you don’t care about fancy invitations, skip the save-the-date cards and multiple envelopes and choose a design from a big-box office supply store. One more thing to keep in mind: Most couples are so busy preparing for the ceremony, posing for photos in their wedding finery, and visiting with guests that they actually have very little time to enjoy the food or the decorations. So, make sure you have a good photographer so you can enjoy the details later, remind yourself your guests aren't there for the food, and remember: You’re getting married to someone you love enough to imagine spending the rest of your lives together. Your day is already perfect. Next Item Previous Item
