Different credit unions have different needs. Membership size, demographics, and services offered are a few of many areas that vary from credit union to credit union. Digital banking is essential for all credit unions, but not all digital banking offerings are the best fit—one size does not fit all when it comes to digital banking solutions.
In order to ensure Synergent, your League’s service subsidiary, is providing credit unions with the best digital banking solutions to fit their unique needs, it has added Alkami and Banno as its newest digital banking partners. They join Synergent’s long-term partners Access Softek and Alogent, enabling Synergent to offer a diverse suite of products and services to best serve credit unions and their members.

Banno
Partnering with Banno expands on the partnership Synergent has with Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Symitar®, which provides the Episys® core processing solution, is a subsidiary.
“Synergent is deeply committed to providing credit unions seamless and innovative solutions to help them extend their value propositions and support their members’ needs,” said Scott Johnsen, Senior Vice President of Operations for Synergent. “We are very excited to expand our relationship with the Jack Henry family through Banno’s industry-leading digital banking platform, and believe our new partnership will complement Synergent’s state-of-the-art lineup of offerings.”
Jack Henry acquired fintech Banno, LLC in 2014 because of the growing demand for innovative digital banking solutions. The company has spent the past five years developing that vision into the comprehensive, future-ready digital platform that Banno is today. The Banno digital banking platform is the first to enable credit unions to translate their personal service meaningfully inside digital channels with an industry-first Conversations feature that puts credit union staff front and center at the member’s moment of need.
“Because every credit union has its own unique business requirements, Synergent offers an array of best-of-breed solutions,” said Johnsen. “We understand the importance of serving each credit union with a tailored approach and believe the Banno platform will be a valuable addition to our suite of services.”
“Jack Henry has a long-standing relationship with Synergent, and we’re pleased to add the Banno platform to their catalog of digital banking solutions,” said Ron Moses, Vice President of Jack Henry & Associates and General Manager of Consumer and Commercial Solutions. “The Banno platform provides the trust and personal service that consumers crave in a digital experience, so we’re excited to extend that functionality to even more consumers through Synergent’s credit union clients.”
