You value your dedicated, long-time members and you also want to provide attractive incentives to recruit new ones. Reward programs are one way to do just that. Did you know:

The impact of these loyalty programs can help your credit union be top-of-wallet and top-of app amongst your members. But at Synergent, we know that one size doesn’t fit all with rewards programs. Each credit union is unique, with varying fields of membership, member size, and assets held.

By rewarding members for using products and services, your credit union can:

  • Increase Card and Product Usage
  • Encourage Member Retention
  • Acquire New Members
  • Foster Connections
  • Build Loyalty

With our single source approach, we can integrate with nearly any rewards program. But our team of experts continues to research and stay up-to-date on the offerings available in the marketplace. We are pleased to recommend the following three rewards solutions: Synergent Rewards, uChoose Rewards®, and ScoreCard® Rewards by FIS.

Synergent Rewards

Product Usage Rewards, Charitable Donations, Relationship Rewards, and Core Integration

Synergent Rewards is a turnkey, cost-effective incentive program for credit unions and their members that integrates directly with the Symitar® Episys® core processing platform. It empowers credit unions to control the criteria set for members to qualify for rewards, such as:

  • Defining qualifying card transactions
  • Completing a minimum number of ACH or ATM deposits or withdrawals
  • Setting minimum use requirements for digital banking
  • Requiring eStatements
  • Matching rewards cycle with statement cycle

Member Rewards: Set It and Forget It

The credit union defines how rewards are earned. Rewards could include, but are not limited to:

  • Higher yield dividends
  • ATM fee refunds
  • Cashback programs

This simple, intuitive loyalty program allows members to enroll, then efficiently rack up their rewards by conducting normal day-to-day transactions.

Synergent Rewards Features

  • White label with your credit union’s own branding
  • Integration with Jack Henry™ Symitar® core processing
  • Flexible rewards program configuration
  • No additional software, maintenance, or third-party file transfers needed—member data never leaves the core!
  • eRewards notifications
  • Clearly communicated program rules
  • Complementing marketing solutions from our in-house Marketing Services team

uChoose Rewards

Points Rewards, Merchant Loyalty, Charitable Donations

uChoose Rewards is a points-based loyalty program that allows members to earn points for using their credit union-issued debit or credit cards. This program is able to serve both your consumer and small business members, encourages member retention, and incentivizes debit and/or credit card use.

  • Boost transactions
  • Increase revenue
  • Improve profitability

How It Works

As a white-labeled program, your members see your logo when they are interacting with the rewards platform. And your credit union has the flexibility to select the type of funding program that aligns best with your goals and objectives. It can be merchant-funded, issuer-funded, or a blend of the two. The points earned by members can be redeemed for:

  • Gift cards
  • Travel
  • Cash back
  • Merchandise

With over a million redemption options, there’s truly something for everyone. The Merchant Network includes over 8,000 local and regional retailers, along with well-known national chains. You can even add your own business members to the network for free! To further drive usage and points accrual, members have the option of pooling points for faster accumulation toward redemption.
