Completely dropped the ball on this new app. Extremely slow, doesn't show transactions until days later and no more instant balances! All that after waiting three weeks to get the app up and running, leaving us to guess what was going on in our own accounts. I expected so much more from you, VyStar, so disappointed!

No STARS is my rating! The customer service side for Vystar Credit Cards is simply irrational! Do not open an account! They lure you in with a higher interest rate card, promising cash back on groceries and gas, but you have to spend a thousand dollars or more to get $5.00 back.
They have selective hearing, missing payments made, and not recording "refunds" on statements until the following month, payments being missed when you call in to check. "One department says your payment has been processed", it came out of your checking, "the other department states payment not received." A refund is generated, then the bank waits 7-10 days to refund/credit your account. This is poor banking. If I had a chance to give a "zero" for rating, I would! I opened this card informed I had the lowest interest rate, it wasn't!

If I could give a zero-star rating, I would! This company was used by the car dealership where we bought our VW. We have had the automatic payment set up the entire time and our own car insurance for two years. Our car was recently repossessed without any warning, and after we called, we were told it was because they were taking insurance coverage payment from our monthly auto payment without our knowledge! They tell us we now owe back payment for insurance and insufficient monthly car payments. Also, they say that in order to get our car back, we will have to pay the entire amount of the remaining loan or it goes to auction in one week. They made No email or phone call attempts whatsoever to try and clear this up like humans. So disgusted!

Called the 6000 number today and think I selected the mortgage option, then another option, etc. Finally got a guy who apparently was young and had just been hired. Gave him my member number and asked what my escrow account balance was. He replied 22,000+! I replied that's not right. "Oh, I’m sorry, it's 40,000!" Again, I said that's not right and attempted to tell him what an escrow account is for. Dead silence!
He had no idea what was going on. I asked please transfer me to someone who could help me. I was put back in the call queue and never received a person. Hung up, called again, and never found the correct number! Vystar has the lousiest customer support ever! Dislike this credit union very much! Will be looking to move to a new bank soon.

I wanted to thank Maria from the VyStar branch at NAS Jax for the information she provided on the Equity Line of Credit. She made it a point to go out of her way, beyond her duties as a teller, to ensure I understood the differences between HELOC and a second mortgage and arranged an appointment with a specialist for me to see and talk to at a later time. Maria is another example of the outstanding service VyStar Credit Union provides to all their members. Again, thank you.

This bank gets worse every year. They returned my tax refund scheduled for deposit into my savings because the IRS included a code indicating it was from the checking account. My savings account number and routing number were correct on the check, but they refused to receive the payment even though they knew it was my account they don’t now the big mistake rhey do with my incoming bill payment as a single mother of 3 kids because now is take about 90 to 120 to get my refound back ill be with this bank over 7 year but i was thinking to close all acc with them because they don’t care about there costumers

I was a long-time customer of Vystar until their technical meltdown in 2022, when I moved all my accounts to a local community bank. Since then, I purchased a car from a dealership that ended up using Vystar to finance. I was fine with the process and their terms; however, I should have known they would find a way to mess it up. After closing the loan, I submitted my insurance to VyStar. I thought everything was fine until my payment amount was increased by $200 to cover their placed insurance. When I called to discuss, they said my insurance had been rejected because my deductible was too high. I never received anything stating this. They will also not waive this policy for anyone, and that is why I will never finance anything else with this company. It would have been nice to know they have this policy prior to closing. I have never run into this before. Fairwinds CU accepted my coverage with no problem. I think I will just refinance with them instead of dealing with this incompetence.

CAN'T PRINT DEBIT CARDS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!
This is horrible! I am running into problems because I have bills that need to be paid with a card. They said it was too expensive, but who wants to wait weeks, including weekends, to get a debit card in the mail? I HOPE THEY RETHINK THIS!!!

It's 2024. Why does Vystar take five days to credit Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers? (Keyword: AUTOMATED.) And that's just Vystar's "estimate" when you initiate an external account transfer. Here it is, Day #5, and my transfer still isn't deposited in my account. Vystar tells me, "Five days is just an estimate. I'm sure the funds will be deposited in the next couple of days," which seems a bit casual and nonchalant. Maybe they would have more urgency if it was their money out in cyberspace and they had bills to pay. Next time, I'll just maximize the ATM cash withdrawal limit of my other bank's ATM card four or five times and get the cash that way.

Hello,
My name is Mike, and I have been doing business with Vystar since 1979. Over the years, I have noticed a real decline in how you treat your customers. The big blunder with the software was a terrible mess. My family all left, but I chose to stay with you until now.
I had my debit card stolen, and I went in to get another card as I make all my transactions via card. I was told you have chosen to no longer provide a card at the branch and that I would have to wait for it in the mail. What are you thinking? You have the ability to take care of the customer right then but choose to use snail mail? Extremely inconvenient. I hope it saves you $3. You all have six- and seven-figure incomes that you are making off your customers' money. This is the last straw for me; I will be moving on and considering doing more cash transactions, as banking has become expensive for everyone except the banker.
I'm sure this was a financial business decision, but it affects customer service; we are the customer.
Impossible business partners!
That is all.
Good riddance.

I visited the Northside Branch of Vystar to open a CD. I was helped by Shequille Jackson and Jaycee Robinson. Both displayed professionalism and good customer service, which are two things I look for whenever I am doing business with anyone. They answered all my questions and were knowledgeable about the product I wanted. Thank you Vystar for hiring two such wonderful employees. - Brenda Jackson

From poor customer service to a broken online banking system, they are the worst. VyStar won't stop having issues with their web servers, and most of their representatives are clueless about how their own system functions.

Disgusted. I have always been able to walk into a bank and cash a check from their own customer written off the owners account.
Never have I had a charge to cash a check from the very institution it is written from. This is outrageous and should be illegal. If I deposit the check at my own bank, it is processed without a fee. But if I walk into the bank the check is from, I have to pay ??? How is this even allowed? Not to mention terrible service. Vystar has gone through its fair share of struggles, you would think they would do all they could to keep the public opinion positive. The Palm Coast branch did exactly the opposite, shame on them.

You will not get a hard inquiry on your credit if you open a checking account at VyStar Credit Union. Banks and credit unions don't check your credit when you open a checking account.
