(WESTBROOK, ME) – Synergent® is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with Acadia Federal Credit Union through a new ten-year agreement for hosted Jack Henry™ Symitar® core processing. The credit union has also renewed five-year agreements for check processing and mobile deposit capture, and recently signed a five-year renewal agreement for integrated debit and credit card services. This extension marks the continuation of a nearly 20-year collaboration focused on operational excellence and shared growth. It also coincides with a leadership transition at Acadia FCU, as the credit union enters its next phase of strategic development.
“Taking on this role has given me an even greater appreciation for the partnerships that have helped shape who we are,” said Joey Cannan, newly appointed President and CEO of Acadia Federal Credit Union. “Synergent has always understood our credit union and what’s important to the people we serve. This renewal is not just about technology and support. It’s about maintaining a partnership that helps us serve our members across Aroostook County and northern Maine while staying connected to the communities that have always been at the heart of our mission.”
Founded in Aroostook County and closely tied to the people of northern Maine, Acadia FCU delivers more than financial services. Its mission of community-focused, personalized support remains central as the credit union evolves and looks ahead.
“Our work with Acadia is built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to doing what is right for members,” said Tyler Hudson, President of Synergent. “We’ve been proud to partner with Acadia for nearly two decades, and that long-term relationship is something we truly value. As Joey steps into leadership, we’re excited to keep supporting their team with the technology and service that reflect their values and strengthen their impact across the region.”
Headquartered in Fort Kent, Maine, Acadia Federal Credit Union has over 17,500 members and holds more than $386 million in assets. Its field of membership is open to businesses and persons who live, work, worship, or attend school in Aroostook, Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, or Washington County.
