Working at Synergent

Synergent’s mission is to help credit unions succeed, and to improve the financial lives of their members. Did you know that credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives that are owned by their members? Read all about it!

Synergent is unique in that it is a for profit company owned by the not-for-profit Maine Credit Union League. The culture in our workplace reflects this, and you have a sense of knowing your work is valued by the cooperative credit unions that we serve each day. Credit unions are different. While they offer many traditional financial services, they are member-owned, community-based, cooperative institutions that exist to serve their members.

As a FinTech firm with a cooperative business model, Synergent provides credit unions of all sizes a lower cost path to meet their operational needs. Core processing, programming, shared branching, statement processing, card services, data mining, targeted marketing and payment processing are just a few of the specialized, innovative services we provide. We help our members solve their technical needs through shared costs and resources.

We believe in balance. Our employees are offered many options to balance work and life, including flexible scheduling, remote work options, flex-time, generous PTO, maternity leave, and 11 paid holidays per year. Philanthropy also is a priority and employees are encouraged to take time to volunteer. As a subsidiary of the Maine Credit Union League, employees often volunteer in areas that support the Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger. Staff members regularly volunteer at the Good Shepherd Food Bank.

Is yoga your thing? The rock gym? Pumping iron? Dance fitness? Your health and wellbeing are personal – but Synergent is here to help you meet your goals by providing a fitness reimbursement, onsite lockers and shower facilities, biometric wellness screenings, and onsite flu clinics. And, all employees are provided with ergonomic sit-stand workstations.

Knowledge really is power. Staff education extends well beyond our comprehensive new hire orientation and training. Synergent invests in expanding the expertise of our staff through attendance at national and regional conferences, professional memberships, tuition reimbursement, monthly coaching sessions and regular lunch & learns. Growth happens here – whenever possible, we promote from within.

We work hard, play hard, and give credit where it is due. Our employees are our biggest asset. Synergent employee appreciation includes company outings, holiday parties, a weekly ice cream truck visit during the summer, dress down days, and individual awards programs for merit and length of service. And please, be comfortable – we are a business casual office, so dig out your jeans!

Your financial wellbeing is important to us. We offer our staff competitive compensation, including a pension and an employer-matched 401k. Comprehensive health, dental, and life insurance options, long-term care, short-term and long-term disability are just a few ways that Synergent takes care of its valued employees.
