What happens when my CD reaches the end of its term? If you choose not to withdraw your funds at maturity, your Vibrant CD will automatically renew into another CD term. While most CDs will renew as a CD with the same term, there are exceptions. 13- and 15-month certificates automatically renew as 12-month CDs at maturity. The 40-Month Bump-Up CD renews as a 36-month certificate. The 23-month CD will renew as a 24-month term CD at maturity. What's the difference between a CD and a high-yield savings account? Both CDs and high-yield savings accounts are great ways to grow your savings—but they work a little differently. A CD typically locks in your money for a set period of time (called a term) and offers a fixed rate of return. Because your funds are committed for that term, CDs often provide higher, more predictable earnings—but withdrawing early may result in a penalty. A high-yield savings account , on the other hand, gives you more flexibility. You can add or withdraw money at any time without penalties, and your rate may change over time. Choosing between the two comes down to how long you plan to save and how much flexibility you want. Want help deciding what’s right for you? Chat with us—we’re happy to help.
- 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? 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. See how much more your savings could be earning: High-yield savings account 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
