Jacksonville, Florida — Brian E. Wolfburg, President/CEO of VyStar Credit Union, announced the official opening of VyStar’s 62nd branch at 18190 US-441 S., Mount Dora, Florida. VyStar officials held a ribbon cutting ceremony at the newly constructed branch on Wednesday, Aug. 18, at 10:30 a.m. to formally introduce the credit union to the community.
VyStar’s first branch in Lake County increases its footprint in Central Florida, where the credit union has worked in recent years to become a community leader in addition to a trusted financial institution. In 2020, VyStar opened its first branches in the Orlando metro area and Sanford. Additional branches are planned to open in Titusville and Winter Garden by early 2022.
Brian Wolfburg says, “As our organization continues to grow in Central Florida, we are excited to become part of the tightknit Mount Dora community. Having a branch in the area will enable us to make meaningful connections with residents, small business owners and community partners who live there. It will also help us offer the best-in-class products and services our members have come to expect.”
The Mount Dora branch features VyStar’s new digital-forward design concept, which improves how employees connect with members. That includes interactive touchscreen kiosks that provide financial tools and allow members to quickly explore the latest products, services and rates. Members can also utilize the new vystarcu.org website, which offers features such as financial calculators, informative product pages, ways to stay connected with the credit union and more.
Lobby hours for the Mount Dora branch are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Drive-thru hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
