Can i pay my synchrony bill with a credit card

Customers can apply while in your store or online if you add a link to your website. A private label credit card (PLCC)—with your store name printed on it—lets customers finance major purchases.*

There is no fee for partners to apply to offer the Synchrony credit product to your customers. Your pricing is based on the financing promotions you choose to offer upon enrollment. Our competitive rates help you make the most of every sale.

We make it easy to start offering financing. After enrollment, you’ll get an initial training session and can access more training any time. We also provide how-to videos and online courses, plus you can contact our Client Services team as needed.

Once you’re a Synchrony partner, you can offer customers a choice of Deferred Interest, Equal Pay/No interest and Reduced Rate/Fixed Pay financing options to meet their needs. Some industry exclusions may apply.

With “Deferred Interest” promotional financing, they will not pay interest on their promotional purchase if they pay their balance in full within the agreed-to promotional period. If they do not, interest will be charged from the purchase date.

Customers who select a “Reduced Rate/Fixed Pay” promotional financing option will pay interest at a reduced rate on the promotional purchase.

Synchrony will contact you within 3-4 business days unless a site inspection is needed.

Yes, merchant enrollment must be completed for each program.

No, this is not allowed, per the Synchrony contract. Violations of this policy may result in consumer remediation and termination.

Free Synchrony signage such as door decals, tent cards and posters can be ordered via Business Center.

Approvals are dependent on a variety of factors as Synchrony uses a proprietary model and has over 85 years of consumer lending experience. It is important to offer credit to ALL customers to ensure compliance with Fair Lending guidelines.

Typically, the decision is immediate—either approved or declined. Occasionally, the result will come back “Pending,” which will require you to contact Synchrony Merchant Services with the customer present with their phone. Extra verification will occur via a texted one-time passcode and then verbally given by the customer to the Synchrony rep.

Once the customer has been approved, the credit card will arrive within 5-7 business days.

Cardholder billing cycles vary. They may receive their first bill as early as a week after purchase or up to 45 days after purchase. Direct cardholders to mysynchrony.com where they can log into their account to see when their first payment is due.

Go to Business Center and then enter the credit card number, transaction amount and tran code listed on the rate sheet to determine which promotion the customer will receive.

The card may process and obtain an authorization, but it is not being processed directly with Synchrony. This means the customer may not be getting the correct promotion and you will be charged Discover interchange rates instead of Synchrony rates. To avoid errors and a bad customer experience, always process Synchrony transactions directly through Synchrony’s Business Center website.

No, the merchant name is featured on the credit card under the cardholder’s name. The Synchrony HOME logo featured on the card will help drive traffic to your store as Synchrony will be communicating with cardholders periodically, directing them to the Synchrony HOME Dealer Locator where your store will be featured.

Typically, at the beginning of the following month. If any edits are needed, please contact Merchant Services at 1-800-333-1082 or update in Business Center.

No. Purchases less than $299 could be placed on the Standard (23 Days) account terms (Tran Code 100) and will not receive promotional financing. Merchants set the minimum purchase amount for all promotions 12 Months or greater. Purchases greater than $299 will always receive No Interest if Paid in Full within 6 Months Promotional Financing unless you choose to offer a longer term promo.

Refer to the Synchrony Rate Sheet for the latest processing fees that are applied just like traditional bankcard processing fees (i.e. the final funded amount nets out the processing fee). You can choose which promotion to offer, but keep in mind that all transactions greater than $299 will always receive No Interest if Paid in Full within 6 Months Promotional Financing, unless you choose to offer a longer term promo.

You will be funded within two business days. Business Center contains detailed funding and settlement reporting.

Please refer all cardholder questions to Synchrony’s Cardholder Services at 1-866-396-8254. Synchrony allows cardholders to pay online at mysynchrony.com or via mail/phone.
