A Unique Program for Youth
Online and Mobile! This account gives you what you need to get things done your way, during any adventure, and at any time. There’s no minimum deposit. Plus, you get unlimited free transactions at Vibe ATMs.
You need a safe spot to keep money for anything, from a new game system to college. When you keep your money at Vibe instead of in your pocket, you earn interest and won’t lose it or spend it on the wrong stuff.
A great way for you to begin using credit and building your credit score is to use our Vibe Visa® Platinum Credit Card for members age 16-17. Credit limits begin at $250 and there are no annual, cash advance, or balance transfer fees. (Psst, a parent co-signer is needed.)
Our Thrive Scholarship Program is designed for members graduating high school and pursuing an education at a university, college, or technical school. As part of our commitment to Caring for the Community, we will award a $2,000 scholarship to 10 deserving members each year.
