Federal Insurance Increases

UPDATE: $250,000 Share Insurance Protection Extended to 2013

The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, signed into law May 20, 2009, includes a provision extending $250,000 share insurance coverage provided by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund through December 31, 2013. Previously, this level of coverage (up from $100,000) was set to expire December 31, 2009. The new law also requires NCUA to use the higher $250,000 standard maximum share insurance amount when making decisions about premiums and administering insurance deposit adjustments.

Does that mean any funds you have at Vantage are insured to only $250,000? Not necessarily. Contact us for more information on how you may qualify for additional coverage through NCUA.

New Channels for VCU

You may have noticed a minor change to our website. On the lefthand side of our main webpage, there are 3 new graphic links. The new links go to external social or new media websites (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). Vantage Credit Union has started to provide content through these newer channels and we plan to continue using these more in the future.

Young Start for Money Smarts

If money doesn’t grow on trees, it must come from an ATM, right? From a child’s perspective, that’s logical. Have you ever told a child you were short on cash only to be met with the wide-eyed response, “Just go to the ATM!”

It’s amusing a child would think that money is just dished out for free from a machine, but the deeper issue is, children should be more knowledgeable about how money works and where it comes from. The key to a responsible financial future is a solid educational foundation that starts at an early age.

Art that Celebrates Our Communities

We've symbolized our community involvement in paintings you'll find inside our branches. Communities are represented in compelling original paintings commissioned especially for each community. As you'll notice, these paintings don't represent services offered by the credit union, but rather, reflect the values and emotions of the communities.

Guidelines for Story and Blog Comments

Vantage Credit Union wants to foster a spirit of conversation and interaction between the credit union and our members. At the same time, we can’t have objectionable material on the site. So in the spirit of that free exchange of ideas, we ask that you keep the conversation clean, constructive and on-topic.
