Synergent, a subsidiary of the Maine Credit Union League, has converted two more Maine credit unions to its new Episys Technology platform. The latest credit unions converted were Orono, Maine-based University Credit Union ($150 million) and Bangor-based EMMC Federal Credit Union ($33 million). Synergent's Technology Services has now converted 18 credit unions to the new platform since August 1, 2004. Because of the holidays, Synergent has no conversions scheduled for December but resumes on Jan. 1, 2006 when the state's third largest credit union, Maine Savings Federal Credit Union, converts to the new system after selecting Synergent as its new technology services partner last February.
