  • Be The Good Foundation | Vibrant Credit Union

    Vibrant started the Be The Good Foundation to build and sustain vibrant communities throughout Iowa and Illinois. Be The Good Foundation Empowering Our Communities Add a Title Help us Be the Good Join us in creating more vibrant communities in Iowa and Illinois. BE THE GOOD FOUNDATION Empowering Our Communities Our Vision To be a driving force for positive change—fueling communities with funding, volunteer support, and opportunities to thrive. We envision Vibrant communities where people grow together, opportunities abound, and compassion leads the way.  Our Mission We fund projects and programs that boost financial literacy, equip kids with essential life skills, and create thriving communities. We do this with purpose and heart, rooted in our belief that when people and organizations come together for good, everyone benefits.  Groups We Support Be The Good Foundation particularly focuses on organizations and initiatives that support: Improving financial literacy Helping kids develop career and leadership skills Resources that make our communities better and safer Communitywide cultural and social enrichment We prioritize giving to organizations whose work helps as many people as possible, regardless of religious or political affiliation or socioeconomic background. Our Core Values We love our communities and want to make them even better. We’re proud to be a part of the communities we serve. These aren’t just places on a map—they’re home. We believe that when you care deeply about a place, you do your part to help it grow, improve, and thrive. Whether that means supporting grassroots programs and projects, investing in local leadership, or simply showing up where we’re needed, we are here to uplift and empower. Our communities deserve to flourish, and we’re committed to being a part of that transformation every step of the way. We believe in good—doing good, being good, and spreading good. In a world that can often feel divided or heavy, we choose to lead with hope and positivity. We intentionally support programs and projects that are doing good in their pocket of the world—because we believe those efforts ripple outward in powerful ways. To us, “good” isn’t just an abstract idea. It’s about showing kindness, standing up for others, lending a hand, and doing what’s right, even when it’s not easy. By consistently choosing good, we hope to inspire others to do the same—and together, create a more compassionate and connected world. We’re here to help people. Helping others is at the heart of who we are. It’s not about grand gestures or recognition—it’s about meeting people where they are and supporting them in ways that truly matter. We believe that no act of help is too small. Whether we’re backing nonprofit organizations with innovative solutions, responding to urgent community needs, or simply making life a little easier for someone facing a tough time, we approach every effort with care, compassion, and the belief that every person is worth investing in. When people feel seen and supported, they can rise—and that’s the kind of world we want to build. We’re hopeful and optimistic. We see so much good happening around us—nonprofits doing extraordinary work, volunteers stepping up with heart, and communities coming together with courage and resilience. That gives us hope. We choose to believe in what’s possible, even in the face of challenges. Our optimism isn’t naïve—it’s rooted in the real, tangible work being done by people and organizations who care deeply and work tirelessly. That’s why we support them. They inspire us daily, and we believe their efforts are building a brighter, more vibrant future for everyone. We bring joy to what we do. Joy is a driving force in our work. Yes, we tackle serious issues—but we also believe that joy, gratitude, and connection make our efforts even more impactful. We celebrate the wins, cherish the partnerships, and find meaning in the small moments. When you love what you do and believe in why you’re doing it, joy becomes a natural part of the process. It fuels us, lifts others up, and reminds us that even in the hardest work, there’s room for light and celebration. We care about real results. We’re not just here to feel good—we’re here to do good, and to do it well. That means staying focused on the outcomes that truly make a difference in people’s lives. We want to see positive change that lasts—more access to opportunities, stronger support systems, healthier and wealthier communities. That’s why we support initiatives that are strategic, measurable, and seek real impact. When we give, we give with purpose. And we expect our partners to do the same, because our ultimate goal is lasting, meaningful progress—not just quick wins. Integrity matters—always. We believe that integrity is the foundation of everything. It builds trust, ensures accountability, and creates the conditions for real change. We hold ourselves to high ethical standards in everything we do—from how we select and support our grantees to how we communicate with our community. And we ask the same of those with whom we partner. Doing good isn’t just about the results—it’s also about how we get there. Integrity means being transparent, honest, and consistent, even when no one is watching. It’s nonnegotiable for us, and essential to the kind of impact we want to make.

Download the Vibrant app Android Find a nearby ATM, check your balances, or transfer funds on the go. Download the Vibrant app Frequently asked questions How old do I have to be to open an account? You'll need to be at least 18 years old to open an account online. If you're younger than 18, you can open an account as long as at least one of your parents or legal guardians opens the account with you. Schedule an appointment to talk with a banker or call 1-800-323-5109 for more information. Do you offer overdraft protection? All Vibrant checking accounts include Overdraft Privilege. Vibrant will automatically pay overdrafts for checks and automatic bill payments at our discretion. You can also choose Overdraft Protection and authorize Vibrant to pay overdrafts for debit card and ATM transactions when you open your account. If you'd like to add Overdraft Protection, contact us during regular business hours or send us a secure message through your online banking account. How long does it take for a mobile deposit to appear in my account? You’ll receive an email confirmation immediately after your deposit is accepted, but your funds will not appear until they’ve been processed. On business days, we post deposits at noon, 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. CT. If you make a deposit after 4 p.m. or on a holiday or weekend, your deposit will appear at noon on the next business day. How do I get a replacement debit card? Visit a branch to order a new debit card or send us a secure message through your online bank account to request a new one. You can also call our member services team at 800-323-5109 during regular business hours. How is interest calculated and how often is it paid? Interest dividends are paid monthly on your average daily balance for the month. So if you have an average daily balance of $100, you'll earn the interest listed for that product tier on that amount at the end of the month. What if I have more than $15,000 in my Preferred Savings account? Do I still earn interest? Yes! The portion of your balance under $15,000 will earn interest at the highest rate listed for Preferred Savings. The portion of your balance above $15,000 will earn interest at the lowest rate listed. Can I open more than one Preferred Savings account? Sorry, one account per member! You can open a second savings account of a different type or a Premier Checking account if you’re looking for ways to maximize your interest earnings above $15,000.
