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. How do I order checks? The easiest way is through online banking! From your browser: Log in , then go to TOOLS and select CHECK ORDERS. From the mobile app: Tap the MORE... button, then select TOOLs, then CHECK ORDERS.

Find the nearest credit union branch or ITM here . Deposits How do I deposit a check on my phone? There are three ways to deposit a check: at a Vibrant branch, at Vibrant ATMs located at our Moline ( SouthPark and Vibrant HQ ) 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 at Vibrant Credit Union.” 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. How should I endorse a check I'm depositing via mobile deposit? When you endorse a check for mobile deposit, write the words "For Mobile Deposit" above your signature. When will funds from my mobile deposit appear in my account? Deposit Approved Posted to Account 12 a.m. CT – 10 a.m. CT 12:15 p.m. CT 10:01 a.m. CT – 1 p.m. CT 2: 15 p.m. CT 1:01 p.m. CT – 4 p.m. CT 6:15 p.m. CT 4:01 p.m. CT – 11:59 p.m. CT 12:15 p.m. CT 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? 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. 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 at Vibrant Credit Union") and that it is being deposited into an account owned by all payees. It also needs to be endorsed by all payees and 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. 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. How does early direct deposit work? Open a Vibrant account and set up direct deposit with your employer or benefits provider. Early access happens automatically for eligible deposits. We post your funds as soon as we receive payment instructions—which may be up to two days before your scheduled payday. Timing depends on when the payment file is received. Early access isn’t guaranteed and depends on when we receive the payment file from your employer or payer. Not all direct deposits are eligible for early access. 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 $6,725 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. Debit cards I lost my debit card! What can I do? During regular business hours, reach out to our Member Contact Center by calling 1-800-323-5109 to let us know and request a new card. For after hours support on your debit card, please call 1-800-379-6724 to prevent unauthorized charges. 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. How do I keep debit transactions from being blocked while traveling? Going on a trip? While traveling, provide us with your plans to prevent potential card interruptions. To share your travel plans, visit 'Travel Notices' under 'Manage Cards' on online banking. On the mobile app, select 'Cards' from the main menu.

If you wish to make a recurring payment, choose BILL PAY from the main menu of either the Vibrant app or your online account.

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. Online & mobile banking 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! What do I do if 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 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 card with Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, etc.? Yes you can!

I received a notice about a missing title. What should I do? When you finance a vehicle with Vibrant, we will need to hold the original title while the vehicle is being used as collateral for that loan. If you receive a notice about a missing title, please contact the dealership where you purchased the vehicle to verify that the title has been sent to Vibrant. If you have additional questions, please reach out to our team for assistance. I received a notice about auto insurance. What do I need to do? While you're paying off your Vibrant auto loan, we need proof of full coverage insurance on the financed vehicle. You can share the declaration page from your insurance agent. Where do I send my proof of insurance? Call (800) 523-6404 or visit www.myinsuranceinfo.com . How do I access my extended warranty to make a repair to my vehicle? Call Route 66, your extended warranty provider, at (800) 808-0828. How do I start a GAP claim for my auto loan? Call Allied’s Total Loss Department at (800) 264-2372. How do I apply to skip a loan payment on my auto, personal, or Loan Program (equipment) loan? You can apply online or contact our member service center if you need assistance filling out the application or have questions. *Skip-a-Pay qualifications are subject to change at any time. What is the fee for skipping a loan payment? It depends on the amount of the loan payment. If yours is less than $200, the fee is $100 per skipped payment. If yours is more than $200, the fee is $180 per skipped payment. The amount of the fee will be added to the end of your current loan term. You don't need to pay anything when you apply. You can skip a payment on an auto or personal loan up to two times a year (non-consecutive months) if your account is in good standing and if you have skipped fewer than six loan payments during the term of your loan. You can skip a payment on a Loan Program (equipment) loan a maximum of three times over the life of the loan if your account is in good standing, you've made at least one loan payment, and if you've skipped fewer than three loan payments during the term of your loan. *Skip-a-Pay qualifications are subject to change at any time. Titles How long will it take to receive my title? Vibrant has a 10-day processing period to release your title. After the title is released, it will be sent to you via mail. Can I expedite the title release process if I need it urgently for a private sale? We advise against attempting to expedite the process as it may lead to unintended complications. Instead, consider alternative options such as a Bill of Sale for immediate needs. Fraud I received a letter in the mail from Vibrant. Is it legit? First, make sure the letter actually came from Vibrant and not from a company that’s trying to sell you a warranty or loan insurance. (You can call our member contact center at (800) 323-5109 if you’re not sure.) If you receive a letter from Vibrant telling you your debit card has been compromised, it’s legit! When this happens, we temporarily freeze your card until you receive a new card (which will be mailed to you automatically). I received a call/text/email about fraud on my card. Is this legit? It might be! Our system will automatically notify you if a suspicious transaction is attempted on your card. 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. Be aware that scammers frequently spoof the names and phone numbers of legitimate businesses so that it appears a text is coming from them when it's not. Never click a link you've been texted, and never share the following information: Your account number Your card number Your PIN Your online banking username and/or password Your full Social Security Number If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact us or send a secure message through online banking.

- Will a checking account affect your credit score?
Opening a checking account is a big deal for a lot of people. Suddenly, you have a place to put your money besides your wallet, your piggy bank, or under your mattress. But what does a checking account mean for your credit? It may not be as important as you might think, but knowing what does and does not affect your credit score can be helpful as you start to build your credit history from scratch. Will a checking account affect your credit score? Opening a checking account is a big deal for a lot of people. Suddenly, you have a place to put your money besides your wallet, your piggy bank, or under your mattress. But what does a checking account mean for your credit? It may not be as important as you might think, but knowing what does and does not affect your credit score can be helpful as you start to build your credit history from scratch. Does opening a checking account affect my credit score? Even though opening a checking account is usually the first box you check when you first take steps into the financial world, the cold hard truth is that your credit score does not care. As far as your credit score is concerned, your deposits and withdrawals are your business. There are a handful of exceptions, though. The lender you open your account with may perform a hard inquiry on your credit report. To be clear, this isn’t the norm. Most financial institutions will only make a soft inquiry before opening a new checking account. Soft inquiries have no impact on your credit score, but a hard inquiry could drop your score a few points. Lenders have also been known to make hard inquiries if you sign up for overdraft protection. On that same note, not signing up for overdraft protection and then overdrawing your checking account could impact your credit score. Should you fail to repay the amount in a timely fashion, the lender could turn the matter over to a collections agency. The same thing could happen if you close your account with a negative balance and don’t pay the lender back. Long story short, your credit score is not as excited as you are about your new checking account, but it will be paying attention if you mismanage that account. What affects my credit score? What exactly is a credit score? And who exactly is keeping score? Two good questions that not everyone knows the answer to — even if they might pretend like they do. “Credit score” is such a common financial term today that many people never even question it, when actually understanding how it is calculated can help you boost your score. Credit bureaus are the ones who calculate your credit score. Each of them has their own unique algorithm for calculating credit scores and they are all as tight-lipped as a magician’s assistant when it comes to revealing the specific math behind their algorithms. But what we do know is that five basic financial categories are the keys to determining your score: Payment history. Your payment history accounts for 35% of your credit score. Credit utilization. The amount of credit you have available to you and the percentage of that credit you are using regularly accounts for 30% of your score. Length of credit history. The age of your accounts is 15% of your credit score. The longer your credit history, the better your score, usually. Types of credit. The different types of credit you utilize — credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, etc. — accounts for 10% of your score. New credit. The final 10% of your credit score is determined by how many new lines of credit you have applied for. Opening multiple new accounts in a short period of time can be seen as a sign of financial troubles to a lender. What is a good credit score? Your credit score is a number between 300 and 850. If your score is less than 600, you have what is considered a poor credit score. The sweet spot is between 661 and 780, which is where the good credit scores live. If you’re an overachiever, aim for 781 or higher. If ever you find yourself with a credit score higher than 781, you have done pretty well for yourself. You deserve a gold star, but you’ll have to settle for a great credit score instead. If you are interested in opening a new checking account or have questions about your credit score, please get in touch with us . Math is our specialty! Previous Item Next Item

- Protect yourself from smishing
“Smishing” sounds cute, right? Like what you do when someone lets you hold their new baby or when your grandma envelops you in a big hug. But it's actually the name cybersecurity experts have given text-based frauds. (“SMS” and “phishing” equals “smishing.” Get it?) Protect yourself from smishing “Smishing” sounds cute, right? Like what you do when someone lets you hold their new baby or when your grandma envelops you in a big hug. But it's actually the name cybersecurity experts have given text-based frauds. (“SMS” and “phishing” equals “smishing.” Get it?) “Smishing” sounds cute, right? Like what you do when someone lets you hold their new baby or when your grandma envelops you in a big hug. But it's actually the name cybersecurity experts have given text-based frauds . (“SMS” and “phishing” equals “smishing.” Get it?) There are all kinds of text scams going around—free vacations, text “XXXXX” to donate to disaster relief—but the most common are focused on stealing your personally identifiable information, including account logins and passwords, Social Security numbers, security codes, birthdates, and more. Often, the senders impersonate reputable brands, like Microsoft, Amazon, or the financial institution where you bank, to gain your trust. Smishing is effective because the messages are short (so there’s less opportunity to say something that sounds fake) and because it’s hard to preview a link without clicking on it. Further, many mobile numbers are available in public databases, making it easy for scammers to hit up a bunch of potential victims without a lot of effort. 3 smishing warning signs Pay extra attention to texts that include: Links to websites. While there are times when legitimate senders will include a link in their message (for instance, Hy-Vee wants give you access to the receipt for your online order), most senders will tell you to call (and you should verify that number belongs to the sender before you do!) or ask you to reply to the message. Blocked, unknown, or incorrect Caller IDs. If you can’t see who’s sending the message, there’s a good chance it’s an attempted smishing attack. Appeals to respond quickly. Scammers don’t want you to think before you act. So they rely on messages designed to make you feel as though you’re at risk. How to respond if you're being smished Don’t reply “STOP” if it’s offered as an option. When you do, you confirm to the scammer that they’ve reached a valid number with an attentive person on the other end. This particular conversation may stop, but you’ll likely be hearing from them again. Don’t give out any personal information. No reputable organization will request your date of birth, Social Security Number, address, or payment information via text. Report scam texts to your mobile phone company and the FTC. You can forward scam texts to your mobile provider by forwarding the text message to 7726 (that’s SPAM). And you can share your scams with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov or call 1-877-382-4357. How to minimize your risk of being smished Actively block or filter spam messages from your phone. On Android’s Messages app , click the menu in the upper right corner and choose DETAILS, then choose the BLOCK & REPORT SPAM option. On iPhone's Messages app , if you’ve opened the message, scroll to the bottom, select REPORT JUNK, then click DELETE AND REPORT JUNK. Make sure your phone software is up-to-date. Don’t put off those software updates! Back up your phone data. If you have an Android phone, it’s easy to move your photos and data to Google Drive. Apple iPhone users can use iCloud or back up to your PC or Mac via iTunes. Previous Item Next Item
- 5 New Years resolutions that will be easy to keep
We all start a new year with the best of intentions, but building new habits is hard. If you want to take better control of your personal finances in 2022, here are a few things you can do that won’t require a lot of time—or a lot of willpower. 5 New Years resolutions that will be easy to keep We all start a new year with the best of intentions, but building new habits is hard. If you want to take better control of your personal finances in 2022, here are a few things you can do that won’t require a lot of time—or a lot of willpower. We all start a new year with the best of intentions, but building new habits is hard. If you want to take better control of your personal finances in 2022, here are a few things you can do that won’t require a lot of time—or a lot of willpower. Resolution #1: How to save more money One reason New Year’s resolutions fail is because they are too easy to break. You can turn regular savings into a habit by automating the process. Set up an automatic transfer each pay day that transfers a small amount of cash into your savings account. It’s okay to start small—you don’t want to be tempted to cancel your transfer because you suddenly need that money for something else next month. You can always increase the amount in the future. Time required: 2 minutes to log in to online banking and set up a new automatic transfer Resolution #2: How to reduce your debt One of the fastest ways you can reduce your monthly debt expenses is by reducing your borrowing costs. With interest rates still near record lows, it’s a great time to explore refinancing your mortgage, your auto loan, or consolidating your debt into a single monthly payment. Right now, for instance, credit card rates average about 16% APR (annual percentage rate). If you have good (or better) credit, you can probably find a personal loan that charges considerably less. Time required: 60 minutes (and often far less) to fill out an application, talk with a banker, and sign documentation Resolution #3: How to reduce your spending Are you spending money right now on things you don’t even use? Take a look at your subscriptions—streaming services, magazines and newspapers, websites—and think hard about the value they provide. Do you watch enough baseball to justify a $129 subscription to MLB? Are Spotify’s ads really that annoying? Time required: 5 minutes or less to cancel an account, depending on whether it's one of those companies that makes you call instead of letting you cancel online (definitely stop giving those guys your money) Resolution #4: How to earn more money (easy mode) First, an easy thing you should check right now: Are you earning your full employer match on your retirement savings? Many employees, including Vibrant, will match your contribution dollar-for-dollar up to a certain percentage. If you’re not contributing at least that percentage of your salary to your retirement plan, you’re essentially telling your employer to keep an extra 1, 2, or even 5 percent of your annual salary for themselves. Time required: 15 minutes or less to ask your HR department what you need to do to increase your contribution Resolution #5: How to earn more money (advanced) Second, there’s never been a better time to think about changing jobs—or renegotiating your current salary. The latest economic data shows there are more than 10 million open jobs right now, while the number of Americans collecting unemployment is lower than 2 million. Lots of people are finding better jobs right now—which could mean that your current employer might be more willing to increase salaries to keep experienced workers from moving on. It’s probably a good time to mention that Vibrant is hiring—and we offer a 401(k) match up to 6 percent of your salary. Check out our current openings . Time required: As little as a couple of weeks to six months or longer, depending on your field and your location Previous Item Next Item
