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.

The Holiday Gadget Blitz Is On

The Halloween displays can't be tossed aside fast enough as the Christmas and other holiday displays go up. Daylight savings is over and the smell of wood smoke is in the air.  I enjoy this time of year, mainly due to the increased time spent with family and friends. The other reason is the release of new Gadgets and Geek stuff leading up to the holidays.

Ready to Ride the Google Wave

I'm going to go out on a limb and say today may be the day that social media was changed forever.

TweetMyMoney Thoughts

Yesterday was an exciting day for us here at Vantage Credit Union. You might have noticed we launched our new tweetMyMoney service (which you can use via computer or cell phone) to obtain certain types of information about your Vantage account.

The Opening Act

Today, we just rolled out Part I of our mobile banking strategy. It's called tweetMyMoney and we're very excited. We believe your credit union is one of the first financial institutions in the country to implement such a service.

Beware of Trial Offers Placed on Credit Cards!

Ever chosen to take the plunge with an “introductory” or “trial” offer only to have a hard time canceling the service? Worse yet, ever signed up for a trial offer or subscription with your credit card only to keep having it charged even when you didn’t want the service anymore?

We’re not saying all trial offers are bad. Actually, they can be very useful. For example, trial offers usually allow access to a product or service for free or at a reduced cost. This gives you a chance to see how well you like the product. And obviously, the merchant hopes you like the product enough to make future purchases.
