VyStar Credit Union and 121 Financial Credit Union have successfully merged, effective March 1, 2024. With a combined history of serving our members for more than 150 years, we are committed to helping individuals, families and business owners achieve their financial goals.
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide you with the resources you need, we will be updating and republishing content on the VyStar blog page that previously appeared on the 121 Financial website. From financial tips for young adults to advice to consider when creating a budget and so much more, we hope this information is beneficial to you. Information shared in these articles will be updated to ensure it is relevant, accurate and useful wherever you are on your financial journey.
At VyStar, we are here for you. In addition to our blogs, we provide a wealth of information through our VyCast podcast series, which features industry experts speaking about a wide range of topics.
