Banking at Vystar Credit Union

Posted by: shawnday2 | May 4, 2017

I have been banking with Vystar Credit Union for over 10 years. I am always very pleased with their customer service and they are always able to answer all of my questions. I have a checking and savings account through them as well as a savings account for my son. My rate is excellent! There is a mobile app so I constantly have access to know my money. Some banks charge a fee to have an active account and Vystar has never charged me any fees. I prefer to bank with a credit union over a larger institution.

Vystar review

Posted by: ReportFamous | Oct 17, 2017

Vystar is a very reliable credit union. I have been with them for a few years now and I have never had any big problems with them. The customer service is great and I always feel safe and secure when I am there. I have used them for a checking account and savings account. I had a CD with them but I found that online banks have better rates. But, for a local credit union, I wouldn't choose any other one. I like having the access to them within a few minutes drive.

Penalized For Being A Victim Of Fraud

Posted by: forevertruth | Jul 11, 2017

***UPDATE: VyStar contacted me and resolved my issue. I am satisfied! Thank you.***

I am a victim of fraud and VyStar is penalizing me for it. I did not physically lose nor lost my card. I did not give out my information to anyone illegitimate. It got hacked into and money stolen from it. Vystar is charging me a liability fee when I was always told by them that the money is federally insured, and in case of illegitimate transactions, all of it will be refunded to me. I thought that a credit union like Vystar will give me piece of mind, but in reality there are just as careless, incompetent, and profit driven as Big Banks. Vystar is supposed to be non-profit. Why are they making members pay for their insecure cards? Members are NOT at fault because VyStar cybersecurity safeguards are too weak to withstand hacking. It is VyStar’ responsibility to place electronic safeguards on the cards ISSUED BY THEM. It’s bad enough that hard earned money was stolen from me, but now the institution that is supposed to protect my money is stealing it again.

Poor Choice For Large Accounts

Posted by: Jen Robinson | Oct 31, 2016

I'm accumulating funds toward buying a property, and live well outside town. I've ended out with $10k+ in my Vystar account and need to transfer it to an escrow account. The only way I can do this online is to do bank transfers in $2000 increments, no more than one a day, and the most I can transfer in 30 days is $5k. If I want a wire transfer (at $35) I have to come in an fill out a bunch of forms. I also find Vystar's system for e-depositing checks to be clumsy. I prefer to do e-deposits with a scanner and desktop. That isn't supported. The cell phone method, which is supported, generally fails a few times before it lets a deposit go through.
