Jacksonville, Florida — VyStar Credit Union announced today that members can now get paid up to two days sooner when they link their VyStar checking or savings account with a direct deposit payment.
In an effort to provide their members with additional benefits, VyStar is advancing access to direct deposit payments when they are posted to a member’s account, up to two days earlier than most traditional banks. In most cases, payers post their payment files in advance of the payment date. When this happens, VyStar will go ahead and advance the payment amount to the member’s account right away — resulting in members getting access to their payment up to two days before the actual payment date.
“We’re always looking for ways to help our members maximize their financial power, and this unique benefit is a prime example of that,” said VyStar EVP/Chief Operations Officer Chad Meadows. “By providing our members with even earlier access to their money, we are creating flexibility, alleviating stress and hopefully improving their day-to-day financial lives.”
In addition to two-day early direct deposit payments, VyStar offers a wide variety of benefits to its members. Those include:
Free Checking
Interest on daily balance
No monthly minimums
Access to more than 20,000 no-fee ATMs nationwide
Online & Mobile Banking
Pay in-app with digital wallets
“Whether a member does their banking online, at a branch or ATM or through the VyStar app, we are committed to providing them with a convenient experience,” said VyStar Senior Vice President of Operations and Payments Melissa Thomas. “Our growing list of member benefits is what separates VyStar from other financial institutions.”
