Youth Savings Challenge Winners!

Aidan, 5, Sunset Hills Savings WinnerAidan, 5, Sunset Hills Savings WinnerApril was a magical time as Vantage celebrated the National Credit Union Youth Savings Challenge. The theme of this year’s challenge was “The Magic of Saving.” For a chance to win, kids ages 0-18 simply had to save during April.

Savers ages 0-10 received an entry into our contest for every deposit of $1 or more into their accounts April 1-30. Fourteen $25 Target gift cards were awarded to our winners. Older savers ages 11-18 received an entry into our contest for every deposit of $5 or more into their accounts during the campaign, and $50 Best Buy gift cards were awarded to those winners.

Savers who also made deposits during the official National Credit Union Youth Savings Challenge week, April 19-25, qualified to win one of ten national $100 drawings (Vantage will notify any of our savers if one is a national winner).

Congratulations to all our winners!

President Obama Signs Act to Help Consumers With Credit Cards


Well, it’s official. The credit card industry has been “sanitized” for the increased safety and benefit of U.S. consumers. The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act (otherwise known as the Credit CARD Act) of 2009 was signed by President Obama in May 2009, with most of the provisions taking effect in February 2010.
