- Detect potential scams | Vibrant Credit Union
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.)

- Escrow Analysis | Vibrant Credit Union
Get answers about what escrow is and how it can affect your monthly mortgage payments. Complete the form to make adjustments to your escrow before 2025. Get answers to your escrow questions It's that time of year—your annual escrow analysis shows what your monthly mortgage payment will be in 2026. Let’s talk Escrow Analysis. We’ll walk through what your statement means, why your monthly payment might be changing, and break it all down in plain lingo—no finance degree required. Note: If you pay prior to January 1, 2026, your online account may not reflect your updated 2026 payment amount. Please call first to verify your updated payment amount. Understanding your escrow analysis The basics What is an escrow account? An escrow account is a special holding account we use to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance premiums. We manage this account for you so that you only need to make one monthly payment and don’t have to worry about multiple payment due dates. The amount of money that goes into your escrow account is based on our best estimate of what your insurance and property tax expenses will be in the coming year. What is an escrow analysis? The amount of money that goes into your escrow account reflects our best estimate of your property tax and homeowners insurance premiums for the coming year. Because these expenses can fluctuate over time (based on your home’s changing market value and other factors), it’s rare that the amount set aside for your escrow account exactly matches what is paid out. Every fall, we analyze your account to see whether we’ve set aside more money than you need (an overage) or not enough (a shortage). We also take a look at your latest insurance premiums and property tax bills so that we can adjust your payments for next year to reflect any changes. What happens if there's not enough money in my escrow account to pay my taxes and insurance? If your account has a shortage, your taxes and premiums will still be paid—but you will need to pay the difference back to us. There are two ways to do this: We can either increase your mortgage payments next year to cover that amount, or you can submit a payment for the entire sum before noon on Wednesday, December 31, 2025. What happens if there's MORE money in my escrow account than was needed? If your account has an overage of less than $50, we’ll carry the remainder over to next year to provide a cushion for any potential shortages. If your account has an over of $50 or more, you will receive a check for the surplus amount that you can spend as you see fit. Can I choose not to escrow my insurance premiums and property taxes? In some cases, you can. Contact us and we’ll determine if that is an option for you. I have more questions. How do I reach an escrow specialist? You can email us directly or call 1-800-323-5109. Monthly payments When does my new monthly payment go into effect? January 1, 2026. If you typically make your January payment prior to the first of the month, please make sure to adjust that payment to reflect the new payment amount and avoid any late fees. IMPORTANT: Your online account will not reflect the updated amount due until January 1, 2026. This is so that we can make adjustments for members who choose to pay all or part of their escrow shortages up until December 31, 2025. Why is my monthly mortgage payment going up? While the principal and interest on your mortgage payment haven’t changed, your property taxes and/or homeowners insurance premiums have increased since your last escrow analysis. We therefore have to set aside a larger amount of money each month to cover these increases. How do I update my automatic payment? You need to complete and submit an escrow change form to us by noon on December 31, 2025. If you pay your mortgage through a non-Vibrant account, you will need to provide your account number. If you pay extra toward your principal balance or would like to start, make sure to note the payment amount on your form. My mortgage payment has increased by more than my taxes and/or insurance premiums have. Why? That indicates that your escrow account had a shortage in 2025 (your estimated escrow contributions were smaller than your actual taxes and/or premiums). In addition to increasing your payment to accommodate those higher charges, you also need to make up the amount of the shortage. If you prefer, you can pay some or all of the shortage amount by noon on December 31, 2025, and decrease your payments for next year. Why is my monthly mortgage payment going down? While the amount of principal and interest you pay toward your mortgage hasn’t changed, either your property tax assessment or homeowners’ insurance premiums have declined since last year. Enjoy the savings! If I pay into the escrow now, can I avoid my payment going up at all? No, the payments will always be based at minimum of what your taxes and insurance are. Since those typically increase annually, paying the shortage does not mean the monthly amounts won't increase for next year. Escrow shortages Can I pay my shortage up front? How long do I have to make the payment before it affects my payment? Yes, you can pay all or a portion of your shortage. This must be done by noon on Wednesday, December 31, 2025. How do I pay my shortage? You can make your payment through our online banking platform. After logging in, you will see your home loan appear on the main dashboard screen. Click on your home loan to expand this area. Select "Pay Now." In the bulleted options, you will see an "Escrow Only" option. Enter the appropriate amount here. Finish your transaction by selecting "Submit Transfer." Upon payment, please contact us to have your 2026 payments updated accordingly. Escrow overages When will I receive a refund of my escrow overage? Your check will arrive within two weeks after you receive your escrow analysis letter. Will I receive a check, or will it be deposited into my account? You will receive a check in the mail. I had an overage, but I didn't receive a check. Why not? If your overage amount was less than $50, it remains on deposit in your escrow account to provide a cushion for any potential shortages in 2026.

Moline, IL – December 31, 2025 After an overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s inaugural event, Vibrant Credit Union—alongside the Quad City Storm hockey team and Junior Achievement of the Heartland—is proud to bring back the second annual QC Kids Run the Show hockey game. This unique, fan-favorite experience returns to give young leaders another chance to step into the spotlight for a night of excitement, confidence-building, and unforgettable memories. Happening on Friday, January 9, 2026 , at Vibrant Arena at The MARK, QC Kids Run the Show invites local kids to take over key roles behind the scenes and on the ice. Participants will once again get hands-on experience announcing plays, running in-game entertainment, assisting coaches, collaborating with the media team, and helping stage a professional hockey game from the inside out. “Seeing the impact of last year’s event made it clear—we had to bring it back for 2026,” said Vibrant Credit Union President and CEO, Matt McCombs. “Kids Run the Show gives young people a chance to build leadership skills, try new challenges, and have a whole lot of fun doing it. We’re thrilled to continue this partnership with Junior Achievement and Quad City Storm to inspire even more local kids in 2026.” The fun doesn’t stop at the puck drop. Throughout the night, Vibrant will shine a light on its High Yield Savings Accounts to help kick off easy, real-life conversations about saving and smart money habits with students, families, and fans. It’s all about giving people tools they can actually use and rates that give back—another example of Vibrant’s commitment to strengthening the communities it serves. Junior Achievement, known regionally for championing youth leadership and financial empowerment, is excited to return for year two. “Last year proved how transformative hands-on learning can be,” said Lysa Hegland, President of Junior Achievement of the Heartland. “We’re thrilled to once again partner with Vibrant Credit Union and the Quad City Storm to give kids real-world roles that boost their confidence and expand their vision for the future.” The Quad City Storm team is also energized to welcome their young collaborators back to the rink. “Hockey is always better when the community is involved—especially its youngest members,” said Brian Rothenberger, Quad City Storm Team President. “We loved what the kids brought to game day last year, and we can’t wait to see them take charge again.” Tickets for the 2026 QC Kids Run the Show game are available now at bit.ly/QCkidsruntheshow .

- Vibrant Credit Union launches the Be The Good Foundation
The new foundation deepens our mission to bring more good into the communities we love. Vibrant Credit Union launches the Be The Good Foundation The new foundation deepens our mission to bring more good into the communities we love. Moline, IL — January 13, 2026 Vibrant Credit Union announced the official launch of the Be The Good Foundation , a philanthropic initiative designed to power more kindness, more opportunity, and more “good stuff” in communities across the Midwest. For years, Vibrant has believed that doing good shouldn’t be a side project — it should be part of who we are. The Be The Good Foundation brings that belief to life, supporting organizations that are building brighter futures through financial literacy, youth development, and community enrichment. “Good doesn’t happen by accident,” said Tiffany Haedt, President of the Be The Good Foundation. “It happens when people roll up their sleeves, show up for each other, and decide that doing the right thing is worth the effort. This foundation lets us invest in the people and nonprofits already making that kind of magic happen.” The Foundation’s focus areas reflect Vibrant’s long-standing belief that thriving communities start with strong building blocks: Financial Literacy: Because understanding money is a superpower everyone deserves. Youth Development: Preparing the next generation of leaders, creators, helpers, and big thinkers. Community Enrichment: Supporting programs that make our neighborhoods feel safer, healthier, and more connected. Guided by values like optimism, integrity, joy, and compassion, the Foundation chooses projects that don’t just sound good on paper — they make a real difference. “We’re here for the changemakers,” said Megan Anderson, Vice President. “The people who get up every day and do the work. If we can fuel that, we’ll gladly bring the spark.” The Foundation is led by a volunteer Board of Directors — Matt McCombs, Amy Henderson, Marsha Wolff, Nick Tarpein, and Trista Beise — who believe in transparency, responsibility, and the power of small actions that become big outcomes. Nonprofits can now submit grant proposals. Application materials, eligibility details, and FAQs are available at: VibrantCreditUnion.org/BeTheGood “Communities thrive when people lift each other up,” said Marsha Wolff, Secretary/Treasurer. “The Be The Good Foundation is here to help that lift go farther.” About the Be The Good Foundation Be The Good Foundation, founded by Vibrant Credit Union, supports programs that expand financial literacy, empower young people with life and career skills, and strengthens communities. The foundation operates with a simple belief: when you put more good into the world, the world responds in kind. About Vibrant Credit Union Founded in 1935, Vibrant Credit Union is a federally insured credit union built on strong roots and a forward-looking mindset. Vibrant delivers competitive deposit rates, intuitive digital banking, and fast, flexible money movement designed to make everyday finances easier. Beyond products, Vibrant is deeply committed to giving back — supporting nonprofits, strengthening communities, and championing its call to Be The Good through meaningful partnerships and measurable impact. Because great financial tools matter, but what you do with them matters even more. Previous Item Next Item
