The County FCU Signs New Outsourcing Agreement with Synergent


Synergent is pleased to announce that The County FCU has signed a new ten-year outsourcing agreement with Synergent to provide the Symitar® Episys® core processing system. The credit union also signed an agreement with Synergent for remote deposit services, card services, share and statement processing, check printing, and Orpheus digital banking through Access Softek.

In January, The County FCU and Penobscot County FCU merged following regulatory approvals by the National Credit Union Administration and the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. The combined institution now serves nearly 30,000 members.

“The County Federal Credit Union has been working with Synergent’s team for years, so I knew they would be a great fit for our combined institution,” said Ryan Ellsworth, President/CEO of The County FCU. “I value the level of trust and cooperation that exists between us and I am confident in Synergent’s ability to help us grow and succeed.”

“It is always exciting when we see credit unions who are part of our Synergent family grow and increase their service offerings to their members,” said Scott Johnsen, Senior Vice President of Operations at Synergent. “We congratulate The County Federal Credit Union and Penobscot County Federal Credit Union on their successful merger. We look forward to working together with their team as they deliver innovative products and services to their members and help improve their financial positions.”
