The mobile banking issues happened during a planned conversion to a new platform. VyStar said all funds are secure. The bank is using local banking tech firm Nymbus to launch the new platform electing it as its digital banking partner a few months after investing $20 million in the company. Not a good look and I don't recall this being divulged in advance.
As a long time member, I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Vystar. The conversion to the new platform is absolutely no better than what they had in place prior to this debacle. In addition, they have gone from being a credit union for the people to acting just like any other bank to bog to fail. I did not sign up for a variable rate credit card when I joined them in 1989 and that has now been forced on me along with an interest rate that is jumping up almost double from their last increase. When I called today I learned they have gone from a live person to an automated recording. They offer me terrible interest rates on savings and CDs. I am left wondering just how this Credit Union is supporting me and its other members any better than a regular bank with shareholders these days....

Vystar Ratio Analysis
The following ratios and data are available to help you better understand the financial condition of Vystar. The data is provided by the NCUA. All credit unions on BestCashCow, except those specified as not NCUA-insured in the overview section above, are NCUA-insured. Depositors should be careful to remain within NCUA insurance limits.
Texas Ratio
| Vystar | U.S. Average |
|---|---|
| 5.10% | 5.83 |
The Texas Ratio compares the amount of loans at risk and assets repossessed with the amount a credit union has on hand to cover any losses. The closer the Texas Ratio is to 1-to-1 or 100%, the less capital and reserves a credit union has to absorb its loan losses.
As of June 30, 2024, Vystar had $67,193,923 in non-current loans and $1,447,073 in owned assets. To cover these potential losses it had $1,295,941,676 in net worth and $49,748,761 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 5.10%.
Net Worth
| Vystar | U.S. Average |
|---|---|
| 9.14% | 13.93% |
Vystar FCU has a net worth of 9.14% versus the BestCashCow average of 13.93. Net worth measures how much total assets exceed total liabilities. The higher the net worth number the more secure a credit union is considered.

The mobile banking issues happened during a planned conversion to a new platform. VyStar said all funds are secure. The bank is using local banking tech firm Nymbus to launch the new platform electing it as its digital banking partner a few months after investing $20 million in the company. Not a good look and I don't recall this being divulged in advance.
