Fees and Credit Bureau Reporting

Is VyStar waiving/refunding any fees incurred by VyStar members as a result of the conversion to the new Online Banking platform?

VyStar proactively refunded fees that it charged members from May 14 through June 9 as a result of the Online & Mobile Banking conversion, including for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), Overdraft and Courtesy Pay, Credit Card, Wire, Consumer and Commercial Loan late fees. Effective Friday, June 10, we are no longer proactively refunding such fees.

Please do not hesitate to contact us through our Contact Center (at 904-777-6000 or 800-445-6289, which is available every day, excluding holidays, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST) or a VyStar branch if:

You have incurred VyStar fees between May 14 and June 9 for which you believe you are entitled to a refund that you have not yet received; or
You wish to discuss an individual situation or concern regarding fees that you incur after June 9

How is VyStar reporting loans and credit cards to the credit reporting agencies in light of the Online Banking outage?

Members’ deposits, withdrawals, and the processing of transactions conducted via phone, wire, check, in branch, or via third- party biller payment systems (including automatic withdrawals set up through these systems) were not affected by the outage of the Online Banking system. However, as a courtesy to our members, for any payments that became due on VyStar loans or credit cards between May 14 and June 6, VyStar has extended the grace period for these payments until June 10. VyStar will not assess a late fee on these payments if made by June 10. Similarly, provided payment is made within the grace period and the member is otherwise contractually current, the account will not be reported as late or past due in the month of June. As a reminder, VyStar mortgage loans have a grace period until the 16th day of the month before any late fee is assessed.

If a you have a question as to a particular account, including if you believe you have been impacted in a manner not addressed by the grace period discussed above, please reach out to our Contact Center at 904-777-6000 or 800-445-6289.
