Like their add says, "They never forget it's your money". Great rates on used and new car loans as well as mortgages. Friendly and helpful employees. Atm machines and branches located throughout the city. I've been doing business with them since 1983 and haven't really had any bad experiences, that I recall. Ohhhhh.... well, there was one thing. When I refinanced my home, the process did take a lot longer than they originally said. I had to call and keep on them to speed up the process. They said it would take 30 days, ... it took a little over 90. read more

Upon entering the Riverside branch, I was greeted in a professional manner and appreciated the music and warm atmosphere. I needed to replace my debit card after losing my previous one. The teller informed me that the system for producing cards was down; however, the San Marco (Hendricks) branch could assist me with my request. The San Marco branch was very helpful and resolved my issue, thanks to Vanessa Akans. However, I found it concerning that the Riverside branch had been experiencing a problem with card production for about a week, while the Hendricks branch was able to resolve my issue in just a few hours. I hope someone is addressing the card production issue at the Riverside branch. Thank you, Mr. Wilson read more

my go-to credit union for banking has been VyStar since 1972... I have lived all over NE Fl- each branch has proved to me that my decision stands secure. Today I visited Riverside branch and once again- perfection! Thank you to Jenny Barton for your patience, efficiency and respect! perfect example why VyStar will always be my bank. 5-Stars! read more

The absolute worst bank I've ever worked with. It is nothing but issue after issue with this company. I can't wait to be finished with this car loan so I can leave Vystar for good! HORRIBLE WASTE OF TIME! Simple things like resetting a password requires a miracle to take place. The website doesn't work to do it, I have to call in to do it. I pay my car loan by going institute to institute (bc I stopped banking w/vystar bc of the awful service) anyway they never took the money out even after sending a verification code VERIFYING THAT I WANT TO MAKE THE TRANSFER. I've been paying the car loan this way for about a year and suddenly there's a problem ? Typical vystar behavior. I hate that I ever started with this company. Now I have to call them when they open and waste my time trying to undo their mistake. Vystar has been downhill for years, when does it hit rock bottom? Don't bank with this institute if you care about your money and sanity. read more

This is my new favorite branch. Tytiana was kind and helpful. She was knowledgeable and clearly knew what she was doing. She knew exactly what I needed and got it done in a timely manner. Thank you Ms. Gilmore for your exceptional service. read more

Had the opportunity to conduct financial business with Vystar a second time. The loan process was smooth, and problem free. Moreover, the branch manager Amoy G. knowledge related to my needs was totally on point. Her professionalism, patience and kindness was truly appreciated! read more

Banked with vystar for 12 years , I lost all respect after they botched a deferment for 2 payments, they cancelled my CC! with no notice and especially disturbing is how they gave me no notice on CC but set up a deferment with no problem? They admitted wrong doing but still accepted no responsibility? If they had notfied me id of gladly paid the two payments of 133.oo They have now turned over to the credit bureau! I can't speak with anyone that is willing to look into this debacle except a VP of Member solutions that admitted they made an error but not the CC !! Insanity!! You can't make this stuff up!! DO NOT BANK AT VYSTAR!!!! read more

Run, don't walk, to remove your funds from this institution. And I do mean run, because if you live out of the area, good luck. It's been sketchy since 2022, when that new guy took over, and immediately went on vaca to Europe during the first collapse of the online system. Now it's "mailbox full", or lack of follow through on behalf of multiple parties. Warning Will Robinson, take your money and RUN... read more

Charmain was amazing! She assisted with my account needs and was very informative. I highly recommend the riverside branch and will be sure to visit in the future for all my needs. read more

Danielle was amazing today! She was so helpful in discerning and assisting me with a fraudulent claim on my accounts. She was knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and courteous! read more

I was going on a crawl and left my VyStar visa debit card at home. So, I decided to pull in here and make a withdrawl for my needs. This was my first time here and I did not know they were here. The Teller was fast and friendly. I love the fact that all Vystars had an JSO Officer in there Branches. I always feel safe in VYStar. read more

This branch has been open for a couple of years and I wasn't even aware it was here until yesterday when I found myself in the area and needed a branch close to me. Thanks to Yelp, I found it easily enough. I was also very happy to find this particular branch is one of the Vystar locations that is open on Saturdays until 3pm. They have maintained it very well over the past two years. It still looks brand new... like it only just opened days before. Even though it's in Riverside (where parking can often be a problem), there's plenty of parking available. Rather than utilize the drive-thru, we went inside the lobby. There was only one teller working the lobby and they were pretty busy. There was about a 15 minute wait to get to the teller. She was really friendly and our transaction went smoothly. I do wish they would have had at least one other teller working so the line would have moved more quickly. This is the reason I deducted one star. I also noticed while waiting in line there was only one teller working the drive-thru. It seemed to be moving pretty slowly as well. Can't say that I blame the tellers. There's only so much one person can do. IMHO, Vystar needs to bring in a couple of more tellers on Saturdays. Then again, this is the one and only time I have been to this branch, so it's possible they had some people out sick? All in all, a great experience. read more

See all

We have been members of VyStar credit Union since 2000. We moved out of the area in 2005 back to Tampa where we are originally from. We kept all of our information still current with VyStar as we thought they were a great credit union and were always so Friendly and easy to work with. Unfortunately, our circumstances with customer service since we're out of the area has changed drastically. I call to discuss things with my account and I received no callbacks. I have had multiple issues with my account , money being drafted out of my account without my permission from the bank, I asked for callbacks from supervisors by the name of Tanner Neal that I've been waiting on a phone call for three days and has yet to return my phone call. Prior to being given this managers information I was told that it was against their policy to give out any managers names. The young lady, I spoke to yesterday, disagreed and said that is not their protocol, it's only when you get the agent that knows they're treating you poorly will refuse to give you information, in order to move forward to get our accounts resolved. I knew the CEO when I lived in Jacksonville and the bank was run so professionally and very family oriented, not anymore. We have suffered from damage from the hurricane and we had no power for several days. Left me making one of my payments late which I drafted immediately when my Internet was turned back on , so they double drafted it when I try to get it corrected.I was treated like a criminal. My advice if you're shopping for banks, I would be very leery of banking with this institution. You become a number and you will never talk to a live person that will treat you the way you should be treated and they're holding your financial funds, I feel this needs to be shared, there's so much fraud these days you have to be cautious of where you keep your money- I am not one to post on Yelp often but unfortunately it's pretty sad. This is the only way I can voice my feelings about how I've been treated all week and I will add. I just got out of the hospital handling all of this . read more

Danielle Williams was super helpful! She reissued my debit card and helped me with some credit card stuff. Thanks!

I have interacted with Ms Charmaine Ervin before, you know that person that always has welcoming smile well that Ms Ervin, during my transctions, she ask if any other services, VyStar can assist me with such as auto Insurance or investments, etc. if I have a question, and she's not sure, she will have someone call me. read more

Danielle was absolutely amazing! I've been trying to conquer this new VyStar app, and she explained the new features with such precision. She also pointed out additional perks that I was not aware of, that would save me a lot of time and effort, which I'm always down for. I really appreciate her dedication to helping members in need. Thank you so much Danielle!!! read more

I am a long time member of this credit union. It has become impossible to get thru on the phone to clear up even the simplest problems. Get us a working voicemail number and when you promise to call back please do so. What is the procedure for stopping payment on a check lost in the mail? Mrs J read more

Tytiana Filmore did a wonderful job by answering all my questions and concerns. Thank you again ma'am

I am so sick fed up with Vystar that this was the final straw. Mobile banking does not allow you to make internal transfers between member accounts. SO you either have to call to speak to a representative (usually 30 minutes) or use Zelle. Except, every time I try to use Zelle, my account is placed on hold and I have to call to speak to a representative and again, wait 30 or more minutes. Hello Navy Federal Credit Union. read more

Tatiana Filmore, help me solve my banking problems today. It was very refreshing to talk with someone so nice you can almost see her smile over the phone. She also talk about opening a credit card to better my credit. Then I told her my goal was to get a new car and home. Ms. Tatiana had the answer to get me started with my dreams home and car. Thank you, read more

We have banked with VyStar for years and years now. They are always wonderful to deal with. Yesterday, we needed to address some business account tasks at the Riverside location and Charmain and Amoy reminded us why we enjoy banking there so much with their friendly personalities and good work. Thanks! read more

This update for banking really sucks. This is the second time the IT department has taken management for a ride. No bill payer for over a week and a two day down time for an update turns into 4 days and don't know when the "IMPROVED" version will be complete. I have been a member since the mid 60's but will go to Navy federal after this goat roping. Management don't seem to care that the customer service has gone by the wayside. GOODBY VYSTAR read more

I had the best experience at Vystar getting a car loan with Chase Wilkerson. We were trying to get a car loan and we were on a time crunch. He was so helpful and patient and responded quickly when we were working through the process. He had to work with my husband and I who both have very busy jobs - and he would text us, call or email just to ensure everything was going smoothly. I felt he really went above and beyond and invested his time to ensure everything went well for us. We can not recommend him enough - if you want someone that is willing to go the extra mile for you on many levels - please request Chase - I promise you won't be disappointed read more

Wasted time at this location more than enough times to be told to come back with the end result not being accomplished. I was given misinformation by seperate employees who can't provide the expected services other locations happily provide. I'd rather spend the wasted time here driving to the competent locations. read more

Fastest service I've had since I've open my account with them. Sabrina was courteous, helpful and efficient.

Worst customer service! Waited an hour and spoke to two idiots and account still not resolved. Moving ALL my money to navy fed!

Cameron and chase were great with helping me and my account :) so friendly and very easy.

Super easy and very friendly. To setup a business account. I recommend this this place. Chase did awesome job.

natasha was fantastic and very knowledgeable, helped me with my loan and walked me through the whole process.

I am so excited that Vystar finally opened a branch in Riverside. It's very close to 5 Points, just a heartbeat away from downtown. Not sure where it is? It's between RAM and the Cummer Museum, on the opposite side of the street. It's brand new, so it's clean and comfortable with plenty of parking. read more

We had an appointment scheduled for 11am to open a business account. At 10 minutes after, our rep Ms Mixon came strolling through and told us to give her a few minutes to get logged on to her computer. We finally get in her office where she requested our paperwork, and when we didn't have articles of incorporation showing the shares for our LLC she just sent us on our way. It's my understanding that LLC's have members, not shares. But whatever. We'll take our business elsewhere and hopefully find someone a little more knowledgeable and a lot more courteous. read more

Horrible remote service. Wasted over 2 hours at work getting a simple auto loan they approved me for. Problem Was I have a joint account with them and I was doing this as an individual so I had to have a separate non joint savings account; no problem. Their web page was extremely slow and kicked me out twice, because of that they flagged my application for a savings account even though I have thousands of dollars in deposits with them in our joint account. Now because they can't have anyone work on the slightest of "holidays" that nobody else in the world gets off they can't fix their screw up until Tuesday. It's apparent they really don't need my money and after many years with them will be moving my accounts elsewhere. Somebody needs to fire their entire customer no service staff post haste. In branch people seem to have their act together but their on line and phone team is an absolute joke and apparently are brain damaged. read more

I have been with VyStar for about 2 years. Never had any issues until recently. Suddenly they are holding my electronic deposits. 2 years and they have never done that. I always electronically make my paycheck deposit. I went into the branch and showed the girl my check and I still have a hold. I asked to speak to the branch manager. Nope! No one really tells you why they are holding it. They just say they have the right to play with my money until Monday! You can't talk to anyone but a teller. I have already opened a new bank account. Will be closing VyStar ASAP! read more

Not a big fan. I opened the account for the convenience of being able to deposit checks at an atm as my normal bank is not local. After depositing the checks I then transfer the money to my regular bank account or just use the debit the card until the funds are spent. Problem is they shut down my card if not used within a 6 month period. Second issue they randomly shut down my account without any sort of notification and then had to sit on hold for 10 minutes while they researched why. The reason was my account was overdrawn while on vacation for less than $3. No courtesy call was made. They have my address and sent no notification. They have my email and sent no notification. They have my phone number and didn't bother to call. So now i'm required to go into the branch to re-open the account. No thank you! i will be banking elsewhere. read more

Vystar let someone walk into the branch to cash and withdraw a hand written check that was not me or written by me and did not even ID them. That check bounced and a claim was started to find out 6 months later that said person had retired and the investigation stopped and that supposedly they have records of trying to contact and mail me. The funny thing is I only received one letter and no phone calls or emails. I received a call three days after I started the investigation and now Vystar said that I have to pay back the amount that bounced when it wasn't my fault. Vystar are horrible people and because of this and them they told me I will have a hard time getting an account with another bank until I pay back the mistake that THEY SO RUDELY MADE!!!! read more

The tall gentleman named Andrew and Kristina I believe her name is are both very helpful

Love this bank and the customer service is second to none!! Be sure to ask for Andrew this guy will definitely go the extra mile to help you out anyway he can, with his help and advice I have been able to raise my credit score by a nice bump over the past year!! Someone give him a raise! read more

This bank charged me 32 dollars for being short .32 cents. on an electric bill payment even though i have money in a savings account. I called them and they were of no help stating its all automatic and nothing they can do. I have been a customer for 12 years but not after today. 10000 percent fee should be illegal read more

awful! never use zelle thru vystar or tiaa bank. sender tried to send money to me almost a month ago. they took the funds out of his account and never deposited into mine. not vy-star, not zelle, and not tiaa have helped at all to determine where these funds went. all 3 institutions are fraudulent and i will be taking further action. read more
