Vantage Credit Union is proud to offer Not Your Mama's Account—the first of its kind in the Greater St. Louis area.

The basis of our new service offering is a free checking account that allows you to choose to save automatically per debit transaction with our new Swipe2Save feature using your Not Your Mama's Account debit card. You specify what amount you’d like to save per transaction, and that amount is automatically transferred to your Regular Savings from your checking every time a debit transaction clears your account. You’ll also be able to set a maximum and minimum dollar-amount threshold for you to save the most you want to save per month while stopping the transfers when you get to your pre-set low balance amount. It’s an easy way for you to start building your savings.

Not Your Mama’s Account is truly a first-of-its-kind when it comes to online account management. In addition to standard banking and bill pay capabilities, this next generation of online banking includes features such as:

• Personal finance tool that uses keyword “tagging” and feeds spending/saving forecasts to help you with budgeting
• Relevant merchant ads and coupon offers based on merchants/services used according to your actual transaction history (coupons/offers tied to actual transaction history will be available later this summer)
• Social media integration that incorporates real-time feeds from your own Twitter and Facebook accounts, and feeds from our VantageCU Twitter account and website
• Value-offer summaries let you know how much you’ve saved or could have saved based on coupons redeemed as well as Vantage offers/savings and rebates received
• All-inclusive landing page that incorporates a high-level total services view, your spending forecast, holds/alerts, last 5 transactions, upcoming bills, quick transfer feature, spending tags, merchant ads and coupons, Vantage offers/savings and rebates, and social media feeds, all in one single view

You don’t always have time to run to the ATM for cash. Now you can get the cash back you need at the point-of-purchase and know that every PIN-based POS Fee incurred will be rebated back to your Regular Savings at the end of the month! The way you qualify for this benefit is by making at least one electronic deposit (remote deposit or direct deposit) per month of $250 (cumulative) and by being enrolled to receive e-statements.

Sometimes you have slip-ups. It happens. Now, Not Your Mama’s Account holders may receive one Oops NSF Fee rebate every 6 months to cushion those oops. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn positive account management and show that your credit union responds to your needs. Each Oops NSF Fee rebate must be requested by you, and will be honored per 6-month period January–June and July–December.
