Vibrant | #bevibrant Stay tuned for more great perks As the Strikers' corporate partner, we've worked with the organization to ensure players have access to trainers, indoor practice facilities, and great new jerseys.

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.

We’ve always been a place where people can count on us as a credit union and for support, but now, we’re intentionally building around a deeper purpose: total health.

Vibrant Credit Union is here to help you become the best version of yourself — and then send that version back into the world. That’s how communities grow stronger. That’s how people gain balance, even when the balance in life shifts. Think of us as all that, and more. We’re not just holding your money — we’re holding space for your potential. And then giving everything we can right back to help you realize it. To make you brighter, bolder, and even more Vibrant.

To save money, you have to spend less than you earn. Simple enough, right? The truth is that it’s easier said than done. Saving money takes discipline, especially when you’re fresh out of college. No more classes and no more homework, but there are bills to pay and plenty of opportunities to spend your hard-earned money now that you’ve entered “the real world.” 5 money-saving tips for college graduates To save money, you have to spend less than you earn. Simple enough, right? The truth is that it’s easier said than done. Saving money takes discipline, especially when you’re fresh out of college. No more classes and no more homework, but there are bills to pay and plenty of opportunities to spend your hard-earned money now that you’ve entered “the real world.” To save money, you have to spend less than you earn. Simple enough, right? The truth is that it’s easier said than done. Saving money takes discipline, especially when you’re fresh out of college. No more classes and no more homework, but there are bills to pay and plenty of opportunities to spend your hard-earned money now that you’ve entered “the real world.” Here are five simple tips for how to stay on top of your savings after you graduate college. Start with a simple budget You can certainly keep a running list of expenses and then add it up at the end of the month to see if you spent less than you earned, but making a budget might be more helpful. Consider the 50/30/20 approach to budgeting. Set aside 50% of your budget for your “needs” like rent, utilities, and groceries, 30% for your “wants” like road trips, tickets to concerts, and pizza on Friday nights, and the last 20% for savings. The idea is to figure out how much you have to spend on what you need, so that you know how much you can afford to spend on what you want. Make your student loan payments According to the most recent statistics, about 45 million Americans have student loan debt. If you’re one of them, the sooner you start making payments, the better off you’ll be. Most student loans have a six-month grace period after graduation, but you’ll save on interest if you can start paying off that debt sooner. Most importantly, make sure you are making your payments on time. If you have federal student loans and are struggling to make payments, it might be worth considering applying for an income-driven repayment plan. Work on building your credit Need another reason to make your student loan payments? Well, aside from the fact that that debt isn’t going anywhere unless you start paying it off, making payments helps build your credit. It’s an opportunity to show lenders that you are a responsible borrower, improving your chances of being approved for a mortgage or a car loan. You should also explore other ways to build your credit, like applying for a credit card. Just remember to spend responsibly! Keep enough in your savings for emergencies Not all savings is for retirement. And considering you’re a recent college graduate, it’s safe to say retirement is probably not in your immediate future. Savings at your age is about creating breathing room, because a budget will only get you so far before an unexpected expense wrecks your budget. You can start by aiming to save at least 20% of your paycheck and setting it aside in a high-yield savings account. Consider that your emergency fund. If you can reach the point where you have at least $500 set aside for emergencies, you’ll have a great start. Understand the basics of investing The next best thing to saving your money is investing it. Now before you start dreaming about trading on Wall Street, there are simpler ways to invest than buying individual stocks. You can invest your income in a retirement account like a 401(k) or IRA, allowing your money to grow over time due to compound interest. Retirement may be in your distant future, but your future self will almost certainly be thankful you invested as early as you did. If you are interested in learning more about how you can start saving post-graduation, please get in touch with us . The learning never stops, even after college! Previous Item Next Item

Want to earn more on your savings without locking up your money? Learn how to keep your cash accessible while still earning competitive interest. How to Earn Interest on Your Money Without Locking It Up Want to earn more on your savings without locking up your money? Learn how to keep your cash accessible while still earning competitive interest. How to Earn Interest on Your Money Without Locking It Up For a long time, earning higher interest meant giving something up. Usually, that meant locking your money away in an account you couldn’t easily access. But that tradeoff isn’t as necessary as it once was. The Tradeoff People Assume Exists Many people believe: If you want higher returns, you need to lock your money up If you want access, you have to accept lower interest That used to be true—but it’s not the full picture anymore. Why You Don’t Have to Lock Your Money Away Today, there are savings options designed to give you both: Competitive interest rates Easy access to your money This means your cash can stay flexible while still working for you in the background. What to Look for Instead If your goal is to earn more without sacrificing access, focus on accounts that offer: Strong, competitive rates No unnecessary restrictions Easy transfers when you need your money A high-yield savings account is built around exactly this idea. Explore flexible savings options: High-yield savings account A Smarter Way to Think About Savings Instead of choosing between access and earnings, you can prioritize both. Your money should be: Available when you need it Growing when you don’t That balance is what makes modern savings strategies more effective. The Bottom Line You don’t have to lock your money away to earn more on it. With the right account, your savings can stay flexible while still delivering meaningful returns.

Savings with up to $5M* in protection. Maximize NCUA insurance coverage while earning competitve returns-automatically. Are your funds fully insured? Keep every dollar safe, accessible, and working for you — all in one account. Learn More Schedule a meeting A safer way to protect & access your funds. Traditional banks insure only up to $250,000 per account, leaving many organizations with uncovered funds. Vibrant’s Insured Money Market Account with Extended Share Insurance gives you expanded NCUA-backed protection — without the burden of opening multiple accounts across multiple institutions. Your funds stay in one secure, consolidated account, while our auto-sweep network works behind the scenes to maximize insurance coverage. No extra accounts, no additional paperwork, and no managing multiple statements. Whether you’re managing operating reserves, capital planning, or savings for future growth, this account delivers the safety, liquidity, and simplicity you need. Fully Insured Coverage Extend your protection well beyond standard limits with up to $15 million in fully insured deposits.* Full Liquidity of Funds Access your reserves any time (before the daily cutoff) without penalties, restrictions, or waiting periods. Competitive Earnings Earn strong, market-leading rates while keeping every dollar insured — no need to sacrifice safety for growth. One Account, One Statement No more managing multiple bank relationships; your entire balance rolls into one clean, consolidated view. No Hidden Fees — Ever Enjoy the benefits of this account without hidden fees, draw fees, or usage requirements. Designed for people and organizations that need safety, clarity, and control. This account supports anyone managing reserves above standard insurance limits — without the complexity of juggling multiple financial institutions. Faith-Based Organizations HOAs & COAs (including Florida HOAs ) Small & Mid-Sized Businesses Schools & Educational Institutions Nonprofits & Community Organizations Municipalities & Public Agencies Foundations & Trusts High-Balance Individuals Get started Why organizations choose extended insurance and why traditional banks fall short. Many organizations unknowingly hold reserves that exceed standard insurance limits — leaving some funds exposed. Others struggle with liquidity, costly fees, or slow access to capital when needs arise. Here’s how Vibrant solves those challenges with one streamlined account. Challenge Solution Large reserves over $250,000 may exceed standard insurance limits—leaving some funds uncovered. Emergency repairs or other expenses require fast access to your funds. Unexpected building repairs or urgent expenses require more capital than you have. Transparency is needed for seasonal cash flow and fluctuating profits, donations, tuition, or offerings. High-yield accounts can be risky, restrictive, or come with hidden fees, putting your reserves at risk or limiting access. You want a financial partner who shares your values and supports your mission. Our high-yield reserve account* is fully insured and backed by the full faith of the U.S. Government through NCUA coverage , keeping your funds secure and accessible. Our insured money market account is fully liquid , giving you same-day access to funds (prior to cutoff time) without compromising safety. We offer quick, easy eligibility for lines of credit tailored to your organization with no personal guarantees, draw fees, non-usage fees, or origination fees. With 24/7 account visibility and access , you're always prepared. If bundled with a line of credit, you can draw instantly for immediate funding. With no hidden fees and full access to your funds, you can earn competitive interest rates to grow your reserves with no risks involved. Vibrant is a partner investing in your mission and the community through our Be the Good Foundation .

ModernFi is a network of credit unions that Vibrant Credit Union has joined to help better protect your balances by distributing funds across partner credit unions to offer extended NCUA share insurance. How does the Extended Insurance Account work? Suppose you have $1 million that you want to safeguard and earn interest on. You can achieve this by depositing the full amount with Vibrant Credit Union through an Extended Insurance Account. The money is then distributed into smaller portions and placed in demand deposit accounts at various credit unions within the network. The first $250,000 will be allocated to Vibrant Credit Union, another $250,000 to Credit Union 2, an additional $250,000 to Credit Union 3, and the remaining $250,000 to Credit Union 4. All of these credit unions are partnered with the ModernFi Network. This allocation helps ensure that each dollar is covered by NCUA share insurance, in an amount up to the maximum of $250,000 per share owner per credit union. Using these Extended Insurance Accounts eliminate the need to keep track of multiple accounts at various credit unions. All of your deposits and activity across your allocated credit unions are consolidated into one statement. Additionally, the Extended Insurance Account interest rate is competitive, making it a compelling choice for individuals and businesses with substantial cash reserves. Who maintains my Extended Insurance Account? You control the account just like a regular transaction account. You can deposit, withdraw, or transfer funds at any time through a dedicated Member Portal. Vibrant Credit Union and ModernFi manage and oversee your allocation, ensuring funds are distributed to demand deposit accounts within the network. How secure is the Extended Insurance Account? Extended Insurance Accounts offer a high degree of security for your deposits, utilizing NCUA insurance to safeguard funds up to $250,000 per member at each participating credit union. This protection extends even in the event of a participating credit union’s failure, ensuring the continued safety of your deposits. Since the inception of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund in 1970, no member has lost NCUA-insured funds due to a credit union's failure. All accounts at NCUA-insured credit unions are covered on a dollar-for-dollar basis, encompassing principal plus any interest accrued. In the unlikely event a credit union fails, the NCUA assumes the responsibility of closing the credit union, receives its assets, and settles all deposit claims. Vibrant Credit Union works with ModernFi to file all required materials with the NCUA to coordinate the receipt of your funds from the failed institution. Payment starts within a few business days after the credit union closure. For more information on NCUA insurance, please visit here. What qualifies a credit union’s eligibility to join ModernFi’s network? ModernFi partners with credit unions in good standing with regulators and compliant with all Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer requirements. ModernFi only places deposits at US-based NCUA-insured credit unions that are monitored by a U.S. federal or state governmental agency responsible for the supervision of financial institutions. Vibrant Credit Union maintains complete control over the credit unions that can receive your funds. Furthermore, you and Vibrant Credit Union always have full transparency into the allocation of your funds. How do I open an Extended Insurance Account? Opening an Extended Insurance Account is quick and easy with Vibrant Credit Union. Simply contact your relationship manager or visit your nearest branch to open an account and start taking advantage of the benefits offered by the Extended Insurance Account. After account opening, you will gain access to the “Member Portal” to view details on your Extended Insurance Account. You can view statements and your allocations throughout the network at any time, so you always know your money is safe with credit unions you know and trust.
