  • Manufacturer Partnerships | Vibrant Credit Union

    Flexible financing solutions for manufacturers from Vibrant Credit Union. Improve cash flow, fund equipment, and support your business growth. Financing is a growth lever. Are you using it? Consumer equipment financing built for outdoor equipment dealers and manufacturers Let's Connect Make your brand the easiest to sell. When a buyer walks onto a dealer lot and financing isn’t available — or it’s slow, complicated, or off-brand — deals stall. Inventory sits. Dealers get frustrated and start pushing lines that are easier to sell. A manufacturer-backed financing program changes that equation. We can help remove the friction between “I want it” and “I’ll take it.” 50%+ apps are auto-approved on the spot 30 minute turnaround on manual underwriting 50 states covered by dedicated relationship managers A Relationship, Not a Help Desk Vibrant is a federally insured, member-owned credit union — not a bank, not a captive finance arm of a larger conglomerate. We don't hide behind automated systems. You get a dedicated team that picks up the phone, knows your business, and moves at the speed your dealers need.

  • Detect potential scams | Vibrant Credit Union

    Learn more aboutDetect potential scams 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.)

If your document requires a witness, please bring someone with you, as Vibrant employees cannot serve as witnesses. If we're unable to assist, notary services are often available at libraries, post offices, and other public offices. How do I order checks? The easiest way is through online banking!

Our member contact center is available from 8:30 a.m. CT to 5:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and from 8:30 a.m. CT to 12:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, excluding most federal holidays .

Find the nearest credit union branch or ITM here . Deposits How do I deposit a check? You can deposit a check in three ways: At any Vibrant branch At a Vibrant ITM Through the Vibrant mobile app using Mobile Deposit To use Mobile Deposit, simply endorse your check, select Deposit Check in the app, and follow the prompts to submit photos of the front and back of the check. Once submitted, you'll receive an email confirmation when your deposit is received. 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 Only." 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? Use Card Controls in the Vibrant app or Online Banking to protect it right away. If you think it's misplaced, you can temporarily block transactions while you look for it. (Recurring transactions, like subscriptions and automatic payments, may still be processed.) If you find your card, simply remove the block and keep using it as normal. If your card is lost or stolen , report it through Card Controls to deactivate it and request a replacement card. Need help? Call our Member Contact Center during business hours at 1-800-323-5109. For after-hours debit card support, call 1-800-379-6724 to help 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? If we detect suspicious activity on your card, Vibrant may contact you by text or phone to verify the transaction. If we don't receive a response, we may temporarily restrict your card to help protect your account. Be aware that scammers can "spoof" phone numbers and text messages to make it look like they're contacting you from Vibrant. Never share your card number, account number, PIN, online banking password, full Social Security number, or security codes with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. 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.

Once the transfer has been sent by Vibrant, processing times may vary depending on the receiving institution. The receiving institution is responsible for processing the transfer and making the funds available in your account.

  • 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.

  • 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.
