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.

Young Start for Money Smarts

in

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

in

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

in

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.

We want your opinion!

This new site was designed with kids just like you in mind. So why not ask you what you'd like to see on your very own Vantage site! For example, what kinds of stories would you like to see? Would you like some games or coloring pages? We'll try our best to also add links to other fun sites and activities. But if there's anything else you'd like to see, let us know!

What do you think of our new site?
