At VyStar our goal is to deliver on a simple, but powerful, promise: to do good for our members and our communities.

About us

At VyStar, our work is inspired by the people, businesses and communities we serve every day. We are focused on helping our members achieve their financial goals and building stronger communities for everyone. VyStar membership is open to everyone who lives or works in the 49 contiguous counties of Central to North Florida, 10 Southern Georgia counties, and past and present military members and their families all over the world. We’ve always been about helping people in their financial lives. Our story began 70 years ago when 12 founding members had one bold idea: to create a safe place for our military and civil service members to save and borrow money. Stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, they called the credit union Jax Navy Federal Credit Union. Still headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, VyStar has grown to serve anyone who lives or works within our areas of service from Central Florida through Georgia. We’ve made it easy to join VyStar because we believe the more we grow, the more good we can do. VyStar Credit Union is the second-largest credit union headquartered in Florida and now serves more than 900,000 members with assets totaling over $13.5 billion. VyStar is the largest mortgage lender in Northeast Florida and a major employer in the region with over 2,000 employees across the communities it serves. VyStar membership is open to everyone who lives or works in the 49 contiguous counties of Central to North Florida, 26 Georgia counties and past and present military members and their families all over the world. Working at VyStar is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to build a lasting career and impact your community. If that sounds good to you, you may be the right fit for our team.

  • Music, culture, and connection filled the room as our VyStar family came together to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Led by our Latin/Hispanic Heritage employee resource group, this joyful luncheon was a reminder of how employee led groups at VyStar help bring people together, celebrate culture, and strengthen our community.

  • 74 years ago, 12 founding members set out to build a credit union where military and civil service members could save and borrow with confidence. What started at Naval Air Station Jacksonville has grown exponentially, with branches across Florida and Georgia. With the opening of our newest branch in Hamlin, FL, we’re continuing that legacy and bringing our commitment to even more communities.

  • VyStar was proud to support Jacksonville Sports Foundation with a $10,000 check in celebration of our shared commitment to building stronger communities. Both of our organizations believe in the power of teamwork, opportunity, and investing where it matters most. Together, we’re helping create meaningful experiences that bring people together through sports, and strengthen the future of the city. Samantha Vance
