Turning Business Dreams into Reality: Victor Zarowny's Synergy Credit Union Story


Victor (Vic) Zarowny, the proud owner of Tasty K’s, a thriving Donair restaurant he acquired just over a year ago, has a unique and inspiring journey to share. Specializing in homemade soups, stews, salads, and desserts, Tasty K’s is more than just a culinary haven; it's a testament to Vic's resilience and the unwavering support he found in Synergy Credit Union.

 

Vic’s story:

"Thirteen years ago, while exploring the idea of starting a grocery store, I faced rejection from another bank. Despite presenting my business plan and financials, they doubted its viability and declined to support me. Undeterred, my passion for the restaurant business led me to discover a potential opportunity.

I contacted Synergy Credit Union online, and their financial experts showed interest in my proposal. Choosing to take a chance on me, they provided valuable advice, assisted with my will, and maintained constant communication, always addressing my concerns promptly.

Having previously worked with Synergy in various ventures, I appreciated the personalized, one-on-one approach. Their involvement extended beyond financial matters; during the grocery store's one-year anniversary, they joined me in flipping burgers and contributed prizes. Regular check-ins and a familial atmosphere set them apart from my previous banking experiences.

Synergy's belief in me and their unwavering support played a crucial role in the success of my businesses. Without them, overcoming the setback from my lifelong bank would have been improbable. I owe my current position to Synergy, where I am not just a number but a recognized individual in a collaborative and supportive financial partnership."
