Holiday Savings Account

blue piggy bank with Christmas tree in the backgroundBetween buying gifts for the family, hosting holiday dinners, joining in on work festivities, and juggling everyday expenses, the obligations of the holiday season can easily throw your budget off course—especially if you’re not prepared for them.

At VyStar Credit Union, we believe the best way to financially prepare for the holidays is to set aside some money throughout the year, so you don’t have to scramble for cash at the last minute or take a chunk out of the funds you’ve saved for another project. That’s why we created the VyStar holiday savings account: to help you conveniently and gradually save money you can use specifically for the holiday season, without hurting your budget.

On October 15th of each year, the entire balance of your holiday savings account will be automatically transferred to your primary checking account. After that, your holiday account will remain open so you can continue making transactions to/from the account.

Benefits of a Holiday Savings Account

With a holiday savings account, you can enjoy:

Flexibility to Set Your Own Savings Schedule You decide how often you contribute to your holiday savings account, based on what works best for your budget and finances. Whether you make a deposit weekly, monthly or whenever you get some extra income, the choice is yours!
No Maintenance Fees Save money with peace of mind knowing you won’t be charged regular maintenance fees for your holiday savings account.
No Minimum Deposit Amount With your holiday savings account, you don’t have to worry about maintaining a minimum deposit amount. You can save as little, or as much, as you want!

How to Open a Holiday Savings Account

To open a VyStar holiday savings account, you must first be a VyStar member with a primary savings account.

Becoming a VyStar member and opening a new VyStar savings account is easy, and it can be done in person at any branch or online.

To get started online, just follow these simple instructions.

  1. Click on the “Become a Member” link here or at the top right corner of this page.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts to fill out and submit your membership application, and to select the type of account(s) you would like to open. A savings account is required for VyStar membership. All you need to get your account started is a $5 minimum deposit into the account.

If you have any questions about VyStar savings accounts, please call us at 904-777-6000 or 800-445-6289. Our representatives are more than happy to assist you.
