Loquat completes Symitar® integration and joins the Jack Henry® Fintech Integration Network
Integration with the Symitar core platform is complete, fast tracking credit unions to market with Loquat account opening
MIAMI, FL, August 19, 2026 – Loquat Inc., a fintech innovator enabling banks and credit unions to offer smart consumer and business banking, today announced that it has joined the Jack Henry® Fintech Integration Network (FIN). Through the program, Loquat has completed the integration between its digital banking and lending platform and the Symitar® core, giving banks and credit unions running Symitar a fast track to market with the Loquat account opening solution. The Fintech Integration Network is designed to help ensure that Jack Henry’s customers can easily deploy third-party products.
The Loquat digital banking and lending platform integrates with Symitar through SymXchange™ – a services-based programming interface that enables third-party fintechs and credit unions to securely access core data and business rules. This integration maintains data integrity by managing access through a service layer that governs all interactions, ensuring consistent and secure data exchange across platforms.
With the integration complete, credit. unions running Symitar have a fully automated account onboarding path, from application to a live account on the core. Loquat collects the applicant’s information, verifies the applicant, and then uses the new integration to create the account directly on the institution’s Symitar instance. There is no rekeying, no manual file handoff, and no back-office queue between the completed application and the booked account. The result is a faster time to first deposit, lower cost per account opened, and a consistent, auditable record from application through core booking, all without adding headcount.
Credit unions have had to choose between a modern digital onboarding experience and a clean core record. This integration removes that tradeoff. An applicant can complete an application, be verified, and have the account created on the institution’s Symitar core with no staff intervention. That is the difference between digital onboarding that looks good and digital onboarding that actually works.
