Helping Those Who Help Our Pets: Weir Vet Services & Synergy Credit Union

“This is what it feels like to be known” is how Dr. Kent Weir describes his first interaction with Synergy Credit Union. Kent had recently returned to Lloydminster as the third-generation owner of Weir Veterinary Services. When he visited our branch to pick up some paperwork, he was pleasantly surprised to be recognized and called by name. For someone who values the power of connection, that moment “was a very big deal".
Connection is everything to Kent. Whether with his team, community, family or animals and people who love them, he believes creating authentic connections “demonstrates care and increases joy, meaning, and appreciation of others.” To Kent, making a genuine effort to connect with others enriches every experience and brings purpose to his work.
So, when he felt acknowledged as a uniquely valued individual on his first visit to Synergy, he felt invited into a community where people truly matter. The experience aligned with Kent personally and reflected “how I want our business to run.” When he returned to the clinic that day, he told his father, Dr. Doug Weir, “We need to belong to Synergy.”
The connection between Weir Veterinary Services and Synergy has evolved significantly since then. Not only did Kent become a personal member, but the clinic shifted a 60+-year business banking relationship to Synergy. Today, we share a dynamic relationship rooted in shared values, including a commitment to “doing good things for the people of Lloydminster.”
Synergy is proud to serve Weir Veterinary Services, and we appreciate Kent and Doug's trust in us to guide their financial journey. They’re more than members to us - they’re valued partners dedicated to strengthening our community and each other. When we work together, everything is better. This is Synergy.

In Their Own Words: Member Testimonials
Thomas, Lloydminster Member
"I needed help to consolidate debt I incurred and after asking my bank at the time for help, the answer was no. A friend mentioned Synergy Credit Union, so I went in and they offered a way to help me lower debt and teach a better saving pattern. A couple years later I wanted to buy my first house. I was told no from two other banks in Lloyd. I then went back to Synergy and they helped me purchase my first home. After that I knew it was best to deal with Synergy and not bother with other banks that never seemed to want to trust or help me."
Jack, Lashburn Member
“The decision to become a member led to such a positive set of events over the many years. He [Russell] explained to me that the philosophy of the Credit Union was for equal opportunities regardless of wealth or size of business. All things are possible when both parties work together in a constructive manner much like the name “Synergy” exemplifies.”
Connie, Lloydminster Member
"This story is about endings… my husband & myself have been members for years. After Earl passed away this spring, the bank [Synergy] helped walk thru estate issues with kindness & compassion. At a time when one is going thru such a thing it was so nice to know my bank [Synergy] was there for me."
Sheena, Saskatoon Member
"Marissa went above & beyond to help me achieve this goal [getting a mortgage]. I cannot say enough good things about Synergy Credit Union now, I will always refer everyone to a credit union, so much more than just a bank!”
