Free Checking Accounts

There are lots of benefits that come with your VyStar membership. When you establish membership (by opening a primary savings account), you may be eligible for a free checking account. 

And when we say free checking, we really mean it.

• No fee to write a check
• No fee for your debit card or ATM card
• No fee to check your balance online or by phone
• No fee to transfer money between accounts
• No fee to use your VyStar Debit Card at any VyStar ATM
• No fee for Direct Deposit of your pay into your account
• Plus, earn interest on your daily balance

All of our accounts are accessible via quick and easy Internet and Mobile Banking* services through which you can get electronic statements, set up balance alerts and other reminders and pay your bills fee free**.

Please note that should you overdraw your account, there is a fee for insufficient funds, so we recommend you set up your other deposit accounts or establish a line of credit to provide overdraft protection for you.
