Detect potential scams Want to make sure your Vibrant accounts stay safe? We've put together some helpful tips for helping you recognize fraud attempts before it's too late. Unsolicited: If a person, business, or organization you don't have an existing relationship with asks you for money or personal information, be on guard. Make sure they are who they say they are. Unexpected: If you’re contacted out of the blue by an organization you DO have a relationship with, don’t respond directly. Instead, contact the organization via their publicly available phone number or email address so you can verify it's a legit request. Urgent: Scammers know the more time you have to think, the more questions you’ll ask. Even in a genuine emergency, no one will ask you to disclose personal or financial information before you do anything else. Watch out for spoof calls and text messages Your Caller ID may tell you Vibrant is calling, but it could be a scammer. If a caller asks you to provide any of the information below, this could be an attempt to access your personal account. Say nothing and hang up! Anything more than the last 4 digits of your debit or credit card Any security or verification code you receive via text or email Your account or routing number Your complete Social Security Number Your account password Your PIN Does Vibrant ever verify my identity by texting or emailing me a code? If you’ve set up two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account—and we highly recommend it—you will receive a code via text or email when you try to log in to verify it’s really you. While you'll need to enter that code on your browser or mobile app to complete your login, Vibrant will never ask you to tell us what the code is. Can a scammer access my account even I don't tell them my password? Unfortunately, yes. Scammers may find your login information through a data breach, on the dark web, or through other phishing tactics. Two-factor authentication (2FA) offers additional protection, but it's not foolproof. A common scam is to try bypass 2FA by pretending to be a legitimate caller who wants to verify your identity by sending you a security code, which they'll ask you to read back to them. If you tell them the code, unfortunately, they can use it to log in from their device How do I set up my two-factor authentication on my account? Log in to your account and go to Settings, then choose the Security tab. Toggle the on/off switch next to Two-Factor Authentication to ON to require a second security code via email, text, or voice call (you'll have the option to choose the method that works best for you any time you log in). What if a caller tells me I owe money and they need immediate payment? Legitimate organizations, including the IRS, your local tax assessor, or your financial institution, will never ask you to provide payment via a gift card, prepaid debit card, or wire transfer. If you get a a call demanding immediate payment and they want you to use one of these payment methods, it's a scam. In addition, a legitimate caller will never threaten to alert law enforcement, immigration officials, or other authorities to collect a debt. What should I do if I think I may have been scammed? Contact us immediately to report the incident. We’ll place a fraud alert on your account and help you reset your login information. (And no, we won't ask you to tell us your new password.)

(and why savers shouldn’t wait too long.) Why the federal reserve changes rates (and why savers shouldn’t wait too long.) Rates don’t tap you on the shoulder before they move. One shift in the Federal Reserve’s outlook, and the entire landscape can start to slide, sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once. If you’re sitting on maturing CDs or simply watching rates closely, here’s the key takeaway: waiting to act can mean earning less , especially when the market expects rates to trend lower. Why the Fed changes rates The Federal Reserve adjusts rates to keep the economy from running too hot or too cold. Its two big goals are stable prices (inflation control) and a strong job market . When inflation is high, the Fed often raises rates to slow demand. When inflation cools and growth softens, the Fed may lower rates to support the economy. In short: the Fed moves rates to steady the economy, but those moves ripple directly into what savers earn. What the outlook is signaling Policymakers’ projections (often summarized through the Fed’s “dot plot”) suggest a general expectation of lower rates ahead . And when markets anticipate cuts, deposit rates across the industry can begin to follow. The best time to position your savings is often before the crowd hears the music change. Why this matters right now If rates trend lower in 2026, the savings and CD rates you see later may not look like the ones available today. That’s why rate-conscious savers don’t just watch the Fed, they plan around it. Where we’re putting our best value: Vibrant’s core savings and checking products If you want strong earning power with everyday access, these are the accounts we built for members who pay attention to rates. Our top-tier option for members who want industry-leading performance of their funds. These are not side products for us. They’re the main course. We’re dedicated to being an industry leader in the accounts members rely on most, especially when the rate environment is shifting. Preferred Savings: high-yield for balances under $15,000. If you want a strong rate without turning your life into a checklist, start here. See featured rate here No monthly fees, no minimum balance requirements Unlimited transfers and withdrawals Premier Savings: built for serious savers If you typically keep a higher savings balance and want a better-than-average yield, Premier Savings is designed for that lane. See featured rate here No monthly fees, unlimited transfers and withdrawals Elite Savings: CD-like earning, savings-like access Elite Savings is for members with larger balances who want strong yield without the “hands off the money” feeling CDs can bring. See featured rate here No monthly fees, no transaction limits Premier Checking : stop treating your checking account like a dead zone Checking is where money goes to sit around (usually)… unless you put it in an account designed to earn. See featured rate here No monthly fees, no direct deposit required, no minimum debit transactions required The takeaway If you’re waiting for “the perfect moment,” remember: rates can change while you wait . With expectations leaning toward lower rates ahead, now is a smart time to move cash into accounts designed to earn competitively and stay flexible. Previous Item Next Item
