MyVantage enrollment continues into week three. Statistics to date:
Number of active accounts: 23,542
Number of members who successfully auto-enrolled: 19,894
Number of e-statements: 24,767
Why is the last statistic such a great success? Because it’s a faster, safer, more efficient way for us to provide your statements. Not to mention, it saves the credit union a lot of money on printing and postage, and, statements remain viewable and available to you indefinitely. The number of e-statements listed above is an increase of 171% over our original number of e-statement enrollees, definitely a step in the right direction for Vantage!
Members who use Quicken/Money to manage their finances: we have fixed the issue which was resetting your Quicken/Money PIN and locking you out when trying to access your account information. However, if you experience any further issues, please let us know so we can help you.
One final update for members who were previous EZ Pay Bill Payer users: we have successfully implented a way for you to view six months worth of your old payment history from the EZ Pay Bill Payer system! Once you're enrolled in our new MyVantage Accounts, click on the "go to this account" button. On the top menu bar, then click on "Bill Pay" and you'll see the "EZ Pay History" link directly below. Click on "EZ Pay History" and all your bill payment history for the past six months will appear.
For those members who have never tried managing their accounts online, take a look at what MyVantage Accounts has to offer…
As you can see, you have much more flexibility in the way you choose to view and manage your accounts. Plus, you now have online chat capabilities and secure messaging if get stuck and need help with your accounts, and more features (such as online deposits and mobile banking) will be coming with future releases.
Why not enroll today?
You’ll need to provide two validating pieces of information out of four options provided. We’ve heard feedback that some of the answers may be more difficult for some to remember, so here are the questions so you can prepare for enrollment.
Pleaes note that the date of birth requested is that of the PRIMARY member of the account. So joint owners, make sure you don’t enter your own birth date here. If you don't know the answers to some of these questions, we will be able to help you once we validate your identity.
If you were an EZ Pay Bill Payer User…
Your payees and all scheduled payments should have automatically transferred into our new MyVantage Bill Pay system. Therefore, any payments that were scheduled to be made between April 9 and April 12 should be made today by the new system unless you chose to cancel those scheduled payments ahead of time.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions after you view our screencasts. We want you to be as prepared as you can be for your new MyVantage experience!

how can I check how much I have remaining on a auto loan???
Anonymous,
If you're enrolled in MyVantage, you should be able to log in and check your remaining loan balance. MyVantage is the easiest way for you to check any information regarding your deposit and loan accounts. If you’re not enrolled, you can enroll today by clicking https://my.vcu.com/Public/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fLoginTarget.aspx and clicking the Enroll Now button.
Otherwise, you can also call our Contact Center at 314.298.0055 or 800.522.6009 to request loan balance and payoff information.
Thanks,
Kathy
I love that the payment history for my ezpay items is available now. It is missing something important to me though. For payments sent out as a check, it does not show the date the check cleared.
Also, the new system does not have this available. Anyway to make these changes?
Love that you're always ahead of the pack in technology...always have been and it's much appreciated! One huge reason we are still with Vantage even after moving out of Missouri 7 1/2 years ago. No bank or credit union here in Nebraska can compete!
We very much appreciate your support.
I have no payment history for bill pay items sent out prior to the switch over. Will I be getting access to this? A lot of my payments are sent out by check and I need to verify that those checks have cleared, specifically the ones sent out on 4/2 before the conversion. (My normal statement history shows only that they payment was sent out of my account, not that the checks have cleared.)
Also, I have more payments scheduled to send out tomorrow (4/16) again by check. Will the history screen show me when/if these checks clear like the old system showed?
Other than these questions/concerns. I like the new system and look forward to using it. Good job VCU!
We realize that members have expressed a desire to see their old bill payment history. On the new system, you can see what payments have been sent out. If you look in the "Payments" menu; you will see a selection for "Payment History".
Regarding the old bill payment history, we working on a way for you to get this information. I don't have anything specific to share at this point but I just want to make you and other members aware that we are aware and are working toward a solution.
I can't find the link to EZ Pay (or MyVantageBillPay) on the home screen. Where have you hidden it??? (Am I just blind???). Any help would be appreciated, as your telephone numbers are consistently busy! Thanks, Paula Stevens
Paula,
When you log in, the first thing you'll see are all your accounts listed. Just click on "Go To Account". Then, at the top you'll see your bill payment link.
Will there be support for either Microsoft Money or Quicken, personal finance software; before the change I used MS Money to balance my account
Yes. There is now. However, we have been experiencing some issues with our core system regarding this. We're waiting on them to fix it. Until then, you can chat with our support team and they can manually get this working for you.
I am having trouble with the enrollment.
Enrollment will become available on Monday, April 13. Here's the timeline so you know what time to check back and enroll:
Monday April 13:
• 6:30AM: The current Vantage online banking website will go offline to begin the cut over to MyVantage Accounts.
• 7:30AM: The new MyVantage Accounts and MyVantage Bill Pay websites will become available to all members.
• 8:00AM: Vantage Credit Union technical staff will be available to answer technical questions.
Thanks,
Kathy
Very concerned about able to call and get info needed to access account.
Changes have been alot recently. Security issues are scary.
Who is Cameron Minges
We'll be here to assist. In fact, beginning 4/13 and for two weeks, we will be available up until 9:00 pm to help members with any technical issues.
I am the Executive Vice President over Technovation (i.e. Technology). I have been here since April of last year.
I realize a lot of changes have happened recently but I believe you will like what you see. We have a lot of cool stuff planned in the coming months. Stay tuned....
I don't have an atm care or debt card, how will I answer question #1?
As Cam mentions in his response above, you will only be required to answer 2 of the 4 questions available. So if you don't have a debit or ATM card, you still have 3 other questions from which to choose. Also as Cam mentions, if you don't know the answers to the questions, you can call us and we can provide that information to you. Thanks! Kathy
Wont't it be difficult to know the current savings account balance it a member is accessing the system to check the balance? How will this work, for instance, if a member is checking to verify an automatic withdrawal has or has not been processed or if a transfer has been made to cover an item presented for payment from the checking account? Also, I have been a member since the credit union was Educational Employees Credit Union. I'm not even sure of the year my account was opened.
Corliss,
We only require that you answer 2 of 4 questions correctly. If you don't know the answers to the questions you can call us and we can provide that information to you. Today, our call center asks questions that enables them to properly identify members. Once this information is verified, they will be able to provide the answers to the questions for you.
Hope this helps.
Cam
