VyStar Credit Union’s history is deeply rooted in service to our military and veterans. Since the day we were founded in 1952 on Naval Air Station Jacksonville (NAS Jax), we have stayed true to those roots, supporting civil service and military employees and their families by sponsoring and participating in various military-focused events, charities and other initiatives each year.

As parents/guardians, we focus on keeping our children safe, healthy and happy. We want them to have the best education in subjects like math, science and English. However, basic financial concepts are sometimes overlooked.

So, we’d like to help our Android users with troubleshooting these concerns, as we have for many our members.

VyStar Credit Union is proud to be the sponsor of Jacksonville Magazine’s second annual Jacksonville Lantern Parade. What better way to celebrate creativity, art, children, and the city we love? There is much excitement as we prepare for the parade on Saturday, February 16th. The Jacksonville Lantern Parade supports and raises awareness for Jacksonville-area arts education.

In 1952, VyStar Credit Union (then known as Jax Navy Federal), was chartered by 12 founding members with only $60. Today, we have grown to over 645,000 members and over $8.3 billion in assets. This exceptional growth, aside from a small merger in 2017, has been strictly organic—generated internally through increased productivity, efficiency and market share.
