Insure your reserve funds—all in one, easy-to-manage account.

With Vibrant, you don’t have to manage multiple banks or juggle deposits—everything rolls up into a single, consolidated view.

  • One Bank Statement: Funds are swept across partner credit unions, giving you coverage beyond typical deposit insurance limits.

  • A Trusted Partner: Vibrant is safe, stable, and member-driven, with a long history of supporting faith-based organizations and community institutions.

Here's how Vibrant can help with your unique needs.

Challenge

Solution

Large reserves over $250,000 may exceed standard insurance limits—leaving some funds uncovered.

Emergency repairs or other expenses require fast access to your funds.

Unexpected building repairs or urgent expenses require more capital than you have.

Transparency is needed for seasonal cash flow and fluctuating donations, tuition, or offerings.

High-yield accounts can be risky, restrictive, or come with hidden fees, putting your reserves at risk or limiting access.

You want a financial partner who shares your values and supports your mission.

Our high-yield reserve account* is fully insured and backed by the full faith of the U.S. Government through NCUA coverage, keeping your funds secure and accessible.

Our insured money market account is fully liquid, giving you same-day access to funds (prior to cutoff time) without compromising safety.

We offer quick, easy eligibility for lines of credit tailored to your organization with no personal guarantees, draw fees, non-usage fees, or origination fees.

With 24/7 account visibility and access, you're always prepared. If bundled with a line of credit, you can draw instantly for immediate funding.

With no hidden fees and full access to your funds, you can earn competitive interest rates to grow your reserves with no risks involved.

Vibrant is a faith-aligned partner, investing in your mission and the community through our Be the Good Foundation.

Funds participating in the Vibrant Credit Union Extended Insurance Account are deposited into accounts at participating credit unions, which are insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA) for up to $250,000 for each category of legal ownership, including any other balances you may hold directly or through other intermediaries, including broker-dealers. The total amount of NCUA insurance for your account depends on the number of credit unions in the program. If the balance in your account is greater than the NCUA insurance coverage in the program, any excess funds will not be insured. Please read the Program Terms and Conditions carefully before depositing money into the program and for other important customer disclosures and information. To assure your NCUA coverage, please regularly review credit unions in which your funds have been deposited, and notify Vibrant Credit Union immediately if you do not want to allocate funds to a particular credit union or credit unions.
