Go to VyStar’s Locations page to find the closest branch. The VyStar Locations page features a map with VyStar branches and ATM locations marked. Along the left side of the map is a list of the locations and street addresses.
- Use the map to find the closest branch, or enter your City, State, or Zip Code into the Search bar at the top of the list of locations and hit “Search.”
2
Schedule an appointment to talk with a representative. To schedule an appointment, click the “Schedule an Appointment” button on the Locations page. Pick a service from the menu. If you aren’t sure which to choose, “Account Discussion” offers a variety of sub-categories to help you narrow it down.
- Select the location where you would like to schedule the meeting and choose your preferred appointment time. (The phone number for each location is listed under the address.)
- Fill out the appointment form, then check the box next to “Receive text message confirmation and reminders” for automated reminders.
- Type any additional information into the provided space at the bottom of the form. Then, click the “Book My Appointment” button.

Or, go to a VyStar location as a walk-in customer. You don’t have to make an appointment to talk to someone about your account. If you choose a walk-in visit, check the branch’s hours of operation. Most locations are open 9:00 am - 5:00 pm on Monday - Thursday, 7:30 am - 6:00 pm on Friday, and 9:00 am - 1:00 pm on Saturday, but check with the location before you leave just to be sure. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 9:00 am and 11:00 am are usually less busy.
- Once you enter the branch a greeter will ask you a few questions and put your name on the list to speak with someone. They usually give you a rough estimate of your wait time. When it’s your turn, a bank representative will lead you to their cubicle to discuss your issue.
- If there’s no greeter, go to an open teller window, briefly explain your issue, and ask for help. In some cases, the teller may be able to assist you. If not, they will help you find the person you should speak with.
