What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." What is a certificate of deposit and how does it work? What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." What’s a CD? For some, CD stands for compact disc, which was used to record and play music once upon a time, in an age before smart phones and iPods. But that’s not the type of CD we’re talking about here. In the financial world, "CD" stands for "certificate of deposit." If you’re unfamiliar with certificates of deposit, it’s an investment tool that allows you to turn the tables on the lender. Instead of paying interest on a loan, the bank pays you interest on a deposit. What is a certificate of deposit? As the name suggests, a certificate of deposit is a deposit. You deposit a specific dollar amount with a lender, but you agree not to withdraw that deposit for a certain length of time. It could be three months, a year, or even as long as 10 years. For as long as you agree to leave the deposit with the lender, you will earn interest on that deposit. Once your certificate of deposit has reached what’s called its “maturity date,” you can withdraw that money, penalty-free. Like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, you’ll also get to pocket the interest. How does a CD work? The most important parts of a certificate of deposit are the interest rate and the length of the deposit. Generally, the longer you are willing to leave your deposit with a lender, the better the interest rate they’re going to offer you. CDs are an appealing alternative to a traditional savings account because the interest rates are often higher and the rates are fixed. It’s considered a safe investment tool because you’re not at the mercy of the market. CDs are also federally insured, so your deposit is protected. You also have the freedom to shop around and find the lender that offers the best CD interest rates. Is a CD right for you? Do you have a chunk of cash tucked away that you don’t need right now? Instead of collecting dust, that money can collect interest in a CD. It can grow into a bigger chunk of cash that you can then use toward a home, a car, or even a boat if you’re looking to set sail. The risk is obviously that, in the event that you find yourself in a bind, you can’t withdraw the funds without paying a penalty. So it’s best not to think of this deposit as an emergency fund. On the flip side, it can remove the temptation to spend that money. You can consider the CD as safekeeping for savings you might be tempted to spend under the right circumstances. If you’re interested in a Certificate of Deposit, get in touch with us ! The sooner you make your deposit, the sooner you can start growing that deposit into something more. Previous Item Next Item

Not all savings accounts are the same. Learn the difference between high-yield and traditional savings accounts and how to earn more on your money. High-Yield Savings vs Traditional Savings: What’s the Real Difference? Not all savings accounts are the same. Learn the difference between high-yield and traditional savings accounts and how to earn more on your money. High-Yield Savings vs Traditional Savings: What’s the Real Difference? At first glance, most savings accounts look the same. They hold your money. They’re safe. They earn interest. But once you look a little closer, the difference between a traditional savings account and a high-yield savings account can be significant—especially over time. What Is a Traditional Savings Account? Traditional savings accounts are what most people are familiar with. They’re typically offered by banks or credit unions and provide: A safe place to store money Easy access to funds A small amount of interest They’re simple and reliable—but often come with lower interest rates than newer alternatives. What Is a High-Yield Savings Account? A high-yield savings account is designed to do the same thing—but more efficiently. You still get: Security Accessibility Stability But you also get: a more competitive interest rate , which allows your money to grow faster over time The core difference isn’t how the account works—it’s how much your money earns while it sits there. Explore high-yield savings options: High-yield savings accounts Key Differences That Matter The differences between traditional and high-yield savings accounts come down to a few key areas: Interest Rate: Traditional savings accounts typically offer low interest rates, while high-yield savings accounts are designed to provide more competitive returns. Growth Potential: With lower rates, traditional savings accounts may see minimal growth over time. High-yield savings accounts allow your balance to grow more meaningfully, especially as it increases. Accessibility: Both types of accounts generally allow easy access to your money when you need it. Safety: Both traditional and high-yield savings accounts are designed to keep your money secure. Why Many People Are Switching More people are starting to question whether their savings account is doing enough. The shift toward high-yield savings is driven by a simple idea: If your money is going to sit in an account anyway, it should be earning as much as it reasonably can. There’s no added complexity. No added risk. Just a better return on the same type of account. Which One Is Right for You? If your priority is: Keeping your money safe Maintaining easy access Earning more on your balance A high-yield savings account is often the better choice. If you haven’t reviewed your savings account in a while, it may be worth taking a second look. The Bottom Line Not all savings accounts are created equal. The difference between a traditional account and a high-yield account may seem small at first—but over time, it can have a meaningful impact on how your money grows.

Vibrant's core values aren't just words on a poster in some conference room. They actually reflect the way we do business each day. Our values make us Vibrant We didn’t set out to write a manifesto about our organizational values. We just wanted to answer a simple question: Why do some people thrive at Vibrant, while others (equally qualified on paper!) don’t? The more we talked with the people who’d been here the longest or risen the fastest, however, the more we noticed a few qualities we all share. If you share them, too, let’s talk. Apply now They're in our core. We own every opportunity. In other words, we think a job description is just a starting point. When we see a member who needs help or a stressed-out coworker, we step in. When we see a better way to accomplish something, we try it out. If it works, we tell other people about it. We are open, honest, and authentic. We’re not afraid to speak up when we have a different opinion, and we don’t take it personally when we’re challenged. We try to be honest with each other when we disagree. Because those differences of opinion make us stronger. We are swift and relentless in the pursuit of greatness. Here’s what that looks like in action. After the Payroll Protection Program launched, our bankers worked through the weekend, fuelled by pizza deliveries and coffee, to respond to all the businesses who turned to us for help. We eventually processed more than $200 million in loans and helped save more than 21,000 jobs. We bring contagious energy. When you’re excited about the work you do, other people can't help but get a little excited themselves. That doesn’t mean you have to be an extrovert to work here. You just have to care about getting things right. We think, speak, and act for the collective good. We are mindful of all the stakeholders affected by our decisions, from our members and our communities to our colleagues and ourselves. FAQ
