VyStar Credit Union held a virtual grand opening for its Downtown branch at 76 Laura St. on Sept. 22.
“The Downtown branch brings forward a new design for VyStar to go into the future,” VyStar President and CEO Brian Wolfburg said in a video announcement on Facebook.
“We are bringing forward a great deal of technology to help our members better interact with their financial life. It is important for us to keep up with changing times, to invest in our organization and to ensure that you have everything you need out of a financial services institution.”
The new design features touch screens, interactive brochures and payment calculators. The company said it will be a template for future locations
The company said the Downtown branch, one at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, in Gainesville and downtown Orlando feature the design. It will next be coming to branches in Orange Park and Macclenny.
VyStar bought the block comprising the 76 S. Laura St. tower, the 100 W. Bay St. building and a parking structure and is reconstructing the breezeway between them.
The credit union renovated the 23-story Laura Street tower and is completing renovations of the seven-floor West Bay Street building for a campus to house its corporate headquarters and about 1,000 employees.
