GAINESEVILLE, Fla.—The $655-million Florida Credit Union has selected Symitar’s Episys core solution, saying it is seeking to improve efficiencies and improve integration with other technology vendors.
"Symitar is getting the lion's share of conversion wins; I am confident in the company's culture and its economies of scale to continue enhancements well into the future,” said Florida CU CEO Mark Starr in a release. “Episys will bring us one huge step forward in overall functionality as well as performance with third-party vendors."
The company said Episys’ open architecture the company said integrates with hundreds of vendor applications and offers credit unions the option to independently add on additional offerings.
The efficiencies gained through Episys will also help position Florida Credit Union to meet its aggressive growth goals, according to Starr, which includes adding more than $1 billion in assets within four years.
"Credit unions are upgrading many of their technologies today, and everything from CRM systems to mobile banking is impacted by the core,” said Ted Bilke, president of Symitar in a statement. “At Symitar, we encourage credit unions to offer the best solutions for their business needs and will work with them to build a stronger and more functional technology platform. Florida Credit Union is a great example of a business that was hindered by an outdated core platform; we're excited about the opportunity to position the credit union not only for immediate success, but also significant long-term growth."
Symitar is a division of Jack Henry & Associates, Monett. Mo.
