Savings Accounts

VyStar knows that saving money can be difficult for a lot of different reasons. Our goal is to help you develop the right skills and strategies to meet your goals while making saving money easy and convenient.
Home > Products & Services > Checking & Savings > Savings Accounts

A wise choice for a strong financial future is a savings program where you take a percentage of your income and consistently deposit it into a savings account. This gives you a cushion for emergencies and can also help you reach your longer-term financial goals. We believe that everyone deserves a simple, easy way to save.  

With a VyStar regular savings account, you enjoy: 

  • Competitive dividends to earn while you save 
  • Opportunity to use as overdraft protection
  • No monthly service fee
  • Easy access to funds 
The Benefits of Having a Savings Account
Keep Your Money Safe VyStar Credit Union members’ deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF), an arm of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). NCUA insurance is similar to the deposit insurance protection offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which means it is backed by the U.S. government and insured up to the legal allowable limit. For more information about how your money is insured at our credit union, please visit our blog to read more about the safety of your money at a credit union.
Watch Your Money Grow Aside from being a safe and convenient way to set aside money for your financial goals, funds deposited into your savings account also accrue interest over time. VyStar Credit Union typically offers competitive interest rates to members. You can also set up direct deposit so you can watch your funds grow automatically.
Access Your Money Easily With VyStar branches and ATMs conveniently located in Northeast through Central Florida, services like Internet & Mobile Banking, an easy-to-reach member services team, and simple account access by phone via Magic*Touch, managing your account and accessing your money has never been easier.

How to Get Started:

Becoming a VyStar member and opening a new VyStar savings account is easy, and it can be done in person at any branch or online. To get started online, just follow these simple instructions.

  1. Click on the “Become a Member” link here or at the top right corner of this page.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts to fill out and submit your membership application, and to select the type of account(s) you would like to open. A savings account is required for VyStar membership. All you need to get your account started is a $5 deposit into the account.
If you have any questions about VyStar savings accounts, please call us at 904-777-6000 or 800-445-6289. Our representatives are more than happy to assist you.

Savings Account FAQs

When will my deposit be credited to my account?

VyStar's general policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. It is also our policy to make wire transfers and electronic direct deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive the deposit.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit in person to one of our employees on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit on a day when we are not open, we consider that the deposit was made on the next business day that we are open. If you make a deposit at any of our ATMs, we will consider that to be the day of your deposit.

If you have questions about your deposit, please call us (904) 777-6000 or 1 (800) 445-6289.

Why is there a hold on my deposit?

VyStar's general policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit.

However, at times, we place a hold on the funds. Some common reasons include, but are not limited to:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000.00 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

Please refer to our Funds Availability Policy within the VyStar Membership Booklet for further information.

If you have questions about a hold that was placed on your deposit, please call us (904) 777-6000 or 1 (800) 445-6289.

How do I set up direct deposit?

When establishing direct deposit, the entity issuing payments will ask for several items, including the routing transit number and your account number. Download the printable direct deposit sign-up form you can take with you to your employer or government agency for easy setup.

You can find further helpful information on locating account numbers on the Setting Up Direct Deposit page.

What is the routing number?

VyStar's Routing Number for direct deposit and wire transfers: 263079276

How do I use my phone or tablet to make a deposit?

  3. First-time users must accept the service agreement and receive a confirmation.
