  • Kids take over—again!

    Vibrant Credit Union, Junior Achievement, and Quad City Storm bring back the ‘Kids Run the Show’ hockey game for year two. Kids take over—again! Vibrant Credit Union, Junior Achievement, and Quad City Storm bring back the ‘Kids Run the Show’ hockey game for year two. 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 . For each ticket purchased, $5 will be donated to Junior Achievement of the Heartland . Families, fans, and community members are invited to join in cheering on both the Quad City Storm and the next generation of local leaders. #QCKidsRunTheShow About Vibrant Credit Union Founded in 1935, Vibrant Credit Union is a federally insured credit union rooted in agricultural manufacturing and built for what’s next.

Vibrant Credit Union is Yanmar's exclusive loan processing and servicing partner for individual consumer and small business in the United States. We're here to make it faster and easier for your customers to get the financing they need to complete their purchases — and give you immediate access to funds. We worked closely with Yanmar to build a secure lending platform that fits your needs, and we're continually refining that technology based on feedback from you. As a member-owned nonprofit, we're committed to offering affordable loans to our members based on a holistic appraisal of their financial situation, and we've created a portfolio of flexible financing products to fit practically any budget. What information will I need to provide to set up my dealership account? Give us a call at (309) 644-4738 or email us at dealermanagement@vibrantcu.org . How long does it take to receive a decision on a loan application? Over half of applications are auto-approved on the spot with our flexible, risk-based scoring model. On those occasions when an application is not automatically approved, our lending team individually reviews the customer's financial information before making our final decision. Most of the time, we find a way to say yes in 30 minutes or less! Do you finance purchases of used equipment? We do! Loan terms and amounts will be based on the applicant's creditworthiness as well as the age/usage of the equipment being financed. See the table above for details. Where should I direct customers to manage their loan account and make payments? Vibrant has created an online account portal for customers where they can manage their accounts. They have three options for paying their loan: Pay online with their debit card. They can pay online with an ACH transfer from another bank account. Or, they can just mail us a check! Remind them to include their account number on the memo line for faster processing. Vibrant ATTN: Payments PO Box 1550 Moline IL 61266 I need help with my account. When is your dealer services team available? We run on seasonal hours (see above). You can reach us at 1-800-479-6206 during office hours or email us any time at loanprogram@vibrantcu.org . What do I need from my customer to obtain financing? Your customer will need to provide their government-issued ID (driver's license or U.S. passport). You'll also need a sales order with the year, make, model, and SN/VIN for all equipment being financed. Complete an application in the dealer portal and get a decision within minutes. I have a question about the program, who do I contact? Give us a call at (309) 644-4738 or email us at dealermanagement@vibrantcu.org . Vibrant has a dedicated relationship management team to assist dealers with any loan program or banking needs. One will be appointed to you when you sign on. Who are the Account Managers and what do they do? Our account management team is here to work every loan application from start to finish with you. After you submit an application, one of our account managers will email or call you within a couple of minutes to update you on the initial loan decision and requirements and confirm your sales order is complete (including year, make, model, and VIN/SN for all equipment). Once we have all that information, we can issue a final approval and send documentation to your and your customer to complete online via DocuSign. Questions about insurance? REV Insurance offers simple, dependable protection for your customers' equipment. Learn more about REV Insurance

  • Award-Winning. Again.

    (Not our words, the WSJ's.) Award-Winning. Again. (Not our words, the WSJ's.) Awards season is back—and so are we. We’ve been named a Best Credit Union for 2026 by The Wall Street Journal Buy Side Awards, adding to our 2025 recognition for Best for Deposit Rates. Two years. Two categories. Same result. When The Wall Street Journal recognizes a financial institution two years in a row, it means something. The Buy Side Awards aren’t based on marketing or surface-level positioning. They evaluate financial institutions across the country based on how they actually perform for the people who use them every day. What that recognition really reflects The interesting part isn’t the headline—it’s what sits behind it. Because awards like this don’t come from a single feature or a short-term offer. They come from how everything works together over time. Rates, yes—but also how accessible they are. How easy it is to manage your money. Whether the experience holds up after the first impression. That’s the part people don’t always see upfront—but definitely feel later. Why Vibrant shows up here A lot of financial products are built to get your attention. High rates that don’t stick around. Fine print that shows up later. Extra steps between you and the thing you actually signed up for. That’s never been our approach. What we build is meant to hold up over time. Competitive rates that stay competitive. Products that work the way people actually use them. A banking experience that feels straightforward from the start—and stays that way. It’s a little different than what you’ll find in most places. Not always louder. Just more consistent. And over time, that tends to stand out. Still the same approach—just easier to spot We’ve always believed banking should feel like it’s working with you, not against you. That idea hasn’t changed. What’s changed is how many people are starting to recognize it—including through awards like these. So, we’re honored to be recognized again by The Wall Street Journal Buy Side Awards—now for a second year, across two categories. But we’re more excited to know that our products and services are working just like their supposed to: No hoops. No hassle. Always great rates.
