VyStar Credit Union’s story began 70 years ago with 12 founding members who had a bold idea: to create a safe place for military and civil service members to save and borrow money. Originally named Jax Navy Federal Credit Union, it was established while the founders were stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville. Today, VyStar is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, and has expanded its services to anyone living or working within its areas of service, spanning from Central Florida through Georgia. The credit union has simplified its membership process to facilitate growth and believes that by expanding, it can do more good in the communities it serves.
