Hammer Time! You and Your Remodeling Contractor.

Have you seen that television show where a building contractor hangs out at a home improvement store and approaches people about taking him (and his crew) home for a makeover? And it all happens in a few days, no loose ends, only an occasional headache, miraculously cured by a well-placed commercial. Well, if you’ve decided you want improvements around your home, clear all that Hollywood nonsense from your mind. Let’s talk real nuts and bolts about home improvement using a real contractor who has an office, not a camera.

Vantage Updates of Note for August

The Reality of Your Real Estate

If you’re in the market for a new home, you’re in luck; there’s never been a better time to buy. Rates are near historic lows. The only catch––if you already own a home, you’ll need to sell it in a rather soft market. That’s why you’ll need to be sure it’s looking its best for potential buyers.

Young and Free in 2010

When the first Young & Free program launched in Alberta Canada (via Servus CU) a few years back, I remember thinking, “We must do that!” Many here at Vantage thought the same thing. Today, we are thrilled to be launching Young & Free St. Louis, featuring Not Your Mama’s Account.

Durbin Amendment Harms Credit Unions … and YOU!

Government legislation is now making its way across Capitol Hill that could drive small financial institutions (like Vantage) out of the debit card business.

The Durbin Amendment, included in the Financial Reform Bill, was created by Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and recently passed the U.S. Senate.
