January 2020

A Year in ReviewAs we begin the new year, I wanted to share my appreciation and gratitude for your continued membership.

The year 2019 was transformational, as we brought two excellent Credit Unions together. The result was an even stronger Credit Union for the membership. The partnership brought many exciting outcomes, including the benefit of more convenient branch locations. Over 39,000 transactions occurred at Vibe Credit Union branches that were closer to members’ homes. We significantly reduced our costs by negotiating contracts as a larger organization, savings which we are now investing in our infrastructure and product offerings. We also added many new members to the Vibe family and extended new loans to even more.

I recognize that as we have combined operations, our members have experienced some changes. We promoted many staff members internally, resulting in training and development opportunities away from the branches. We also consolidated many member offerings, including Credit Cards and Online Banking programs. There are still changes to come, but my promise to you is that we are working to make the disruptions as minimal as possible.

What we’ve accomplished is setting the course for an even better member experience in our future. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Management Team, and the staff, I thank you for being a Vibe Credit Union member. Allan Kemp McMorris President/CEO

As part of our commitment to Caring for the Community, we will award a $1,500 scholarship to 10 deserving members. Our FU$E Scholarship Program is designed for members graduating high school and pursuing an education at a university, college, or technical school. The scholarship entry deadline is April 1, 2020. See vibecreditunion.com for scholarship application details.

Account Fee UpdatesEach year we review our schedule of fees. We determine the fees by considering the costs associated with our product offerings in connection with the benefits received by the entire membership. After this annual review, we’d like to announce the following fee changes effective as of January 1, 2020:

1. Paper Statement Fee - The fee will now be $1.00 per month. This fee will be waived if you receive eStatements, are 17 and younger, or are 62 and older.

2. Consumer Coin Processing Fee - The 5% fee will now be assessed only after the first $100 (waived for youth members).

3. Low Balance Fee - This will be discontinued. It will be re-introduced and assessed based on your relationship with the Credit Union.

Where there is balance, there is peace. It’s not an ancient proverb. It’s the Vibe Platinum Visa® Credit Card Balance Transfer Special.

The New Year is your time to find it all.

Balance: Transfer high-rate credit card balances by February 28, 2020. Savings: Enjoy 1.99%APR* through August 2020. After the introductory offer, you will continue to save with your everyday low fixed rate.

Peace: There is never a fee to transfer your balances. Simply apply in branch, online or by phone.

To take advantage of this offer, it’s easy to apply via our Mobile Banking App, online at vibecreditunion.com or by calling 248.735.9500. *This offer applies to new balance transfers only; purchases and cash advances are not eligible. Interest will begin on the date of the transfer. Promotional rate will expire on September 1, 2020. Terms and conditions are subject to change. Restrictions may apply. See our website for full details.
