Synergy Credit Union is thrilled to celebrate its 80th anniversary - eight decades of serving its members and supporting the communities it serves. Since its founding in 1943, Synergy Credit Union has grown to become one of Saskatchewan's leading financial institutions, with 12 branches and 29,000 members.
"We are proud of our history of serving members with personalized financial services and building strong relationships," said Glenn Stang, CEO of Synergy Credit Union. "As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, we want to express our gratitude to our members and employees for their unwavering support and trust."
Synergy Credit Union's commitment to community partnership is evidenced by its active involvement in various local initiatives, including supporting local charities and non-profit organizations, sponsoring community events, and providing financial literacy programs for their member communities.
In honour of this commitment, Synergy Credit Union has commissioned a unique art piece from Saskatchewan artist Christine Marie of Awasis Boutique in Saskatoon. The art piece is inspired by Indigenous cultures and beliefs, paying respect to the land, and representing a strong foundation. Sage and grass are intertwined throughout the design, symbolizing growth, and partnership. Synergy staff members will proudly wear this art piece on their new corporate attire and a copy will be displayed in all branches from June onwards.
Circular shape - Symbolizes a cyclical nature; giving back to our communities and the community giving back to us.
“Wahkohtowin” - A Cree word which translates to “kinship” and is defined as the interconnected nature of communities and relationships.
Sage and grass - Pays respect to the land which Synergy built its organization upon.
Roots - Represents our roots in the communities we serve and how we have grown over the last 80 years.
To further celebrate this milestone, Synergy Credit Union has planned a series of events and activities throughout 2023. These include special member appreciation days, a commemorative video highlighting the credit union's history and achievements and a massive summer cash give-away contest for members. Members are encouraged to follow Synergy Credit Union on social media and visit our website to stay up to date on celebrations.
"We are committed to being a trusted financial partner for our members and to making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work," said Glenn Stang. "As we look to the future, we remain committed to serving our members with excellence and building strong partnerships with the communities we serve."
Synergy Credit Union's 80th anniversary is a testament to its unwavering commitment to its members and communities, and the credit union looks forward to continuing this legacy for many years to come.
