Synchrony Bank: A Leader in Consumer Financing and Digital Banking

Our Profile: Powering Partnerships and Credit

Synchrony Bank is the wholly-owned, federally chartered, online-only bank subsidiary of Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF), a premier consumer financial services company.¹ Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, Synchrony specializes in providing private-label credit cards, co-branded credit cards, and consumer financing through a diverse network of national and regional retailers, local merchants, and healthcare providers.²

The company’s roots trace back over 90 years to GE Capital’s retail finance division, from which it was spun off in 2014.³ Synchrony Bank uses its technology and data analytics to integrate financial solutions directly into its partners’ business strategies across industries like Home & Auto, Health & Wellness (CareCredit), and Digital Retail.⁴

Core Business Segments

Synchrony’s business model is built around a two-pronged approach: providing credit solutions through partnerships and offering direct deposit products:

• Retail Card and Financing: Synchrony is one of the largest issuers of private-label credit cards and is a leader in promotional financing.⁵ The bank provides point-of-sale financing products, installment loans, and credit cards for major purchases, supporting growth for over 400,000 businesses.
• Direct Banking (Retail Deposits): Synchrony Bank operates as a branchless, online-only direct bank, offering consumers a competitive range of deposit products, including high-yield savings accounts, Certificates of Deposit (CDs), and Money Market Accounts.⁶ These deposits provide the low-cost funding necessary to support the bank’s extensive lending activities.

The Synchrony Distinction

Synchrony’s unique strength is its Information-Based Strategy (IBS), leveraging advanced data analytics to provide responsible access to credit, minimize risk, and deliver customized financial solutions that drive customer loyalty for its partners.⁷ The bank’s focus is on providing seamless, digitally enabled financing experiences at the moment of purchase, whether online or in-store.⁸
