Synergy by Association Launches Emerging Vendor Program, Introduces Dolphin Debit as First Participant

The Oregon Bankers Association (OBA), through its wholly owned subsidiary Synergy by Association (Synergy), has launched its new Emerging Vendor Program, a strategic initiative designed to introduce innovative solution providers to Oregon’s banking community while establishing a structured pathway toward potential future endorsement.

 

The program is intended to accelerate access to new and relevant solutions for OBA member banks while allowing Synergy to evaluate vendors through real-world adoption, feedback, and due diligence prior to formal endorsement.

 

Dolphin Debit has been selected as the first participant in the program.

 

A wholly owned subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), Dolphin Debit provides ATM and ITM outsourcing solutions for financial institutions across the United States. Since 2005, the company has helped hundreds of banks and credit unions reduce the costs and operational burden associated with managing ATM and ITM fleets, often lowering expenses by 20-30%. OBA members will also receive preferred pricing.

 

Through its ATM- and ITM-as-a-service model, Dolphin Debit delivers a comprehensive, single-source solution that includes hardware management, compliance and regulatory upgrades, maintenance and service, transaction processing, cash management, monitoring, and dispute resolution. The model is designed to eliminate capital expenditures, streamline vendor management, and relieve bank staff of the day-to-day responsibilities associated with ATM operations.

 

“The Emerging Vendor Program allows us to bring forward solutions that address real operational challenges for our member banks while taking a thoughtful, measured approach to endorsement,” said Andee Rose, senior vice president at Synergy by Association. “Dolphin Debit is a strong example of a partner that can deliver immediate value, supporting our goal of bringing proven, high-impact solutions to our member banks.”

 

“We are proud to be the first partner in Synergy by Association’s Emerging Vendor Program,” said Joe Woods, senior vice president of marketing and partnerships at Dolphin Debit. “Synergy’s thoughtful approach to evaluating solutions will deliver meaningful value to OBA member banks. We’re excited to engage with Synergy and the Oregon Bankers Association’s forward-thinking leadership and to begin building relationships across Oregon’s banking community.”

 

OBA members interested in learning more about Dolphin Debit may contact the Pacific Northwest Sales Director Trinity Hadel at thadel@dolphindebit.com or (913) 954-3588.
