Orlando, FL — VyStar Credit Union today celebrated the opening of its new Hamlin branch at 5026 Hamlin Groves Trail in Winter Garden’s Hamlin Town Center located within the rapidly growing Horizon West master‑planned community. The branch marks VyStar’s fifth full‑service location in Orange County and strengthens the credit union’s commitment to serving Central Florida families and businesses.

As more families choose to call Hamlin home, we’re proud to open our newest branch here and provide the personalized financial guidance and service members expect.”

The credit union works alongside organizations including the Orlando Economic Partnership, West Orange Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Orange County Head Start, Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Mennello Museum, and Orlando City Youth Soccer program to strengthen the communities it serves.
In recognition of the community it now serves, VyStar presented a donation to the United Against Poverty, reinforcing the credit union’s purpose to Do Good while supporting programs that help individuals and families move toward economic stability.
“Central Florida continues to attract families and businesses seeking vibrant, connected communities, and Hamlin reflects that momentum,” said Janean Armstrong, VyStar SVP/Retail Market President. “This new branch expands access to personalized financial guidance, innovative tools and the unbelievable service our members expect, while deepening our investment in the Winter Garden region.”
