If you've ever worried about the legal responsibilities that come with offering financing to customers, you're not alone. Synchrony provides you with all the support you need to confidently offer financing to your customers. Let's explore how easy it is to make fair lending a natural part of your business success story.

The FAIR framework: Your guide to consumer financing success

Why fair lending makes business sense

Fair lending practices create a ripple effect of benefits for your business. By consistently offering transparent consumer financing options, you build customer trust and loyalty. This professional approach sets you apart, making customers comfortable discussing their financial needs with you. As a result, you'll unlock new sales opportunities while ensuring everyone in your community has equal access to your products and services. It's a simple yet powerful way to help both your business and community flourish.

Simple steps for success

• Start each day right.
  Take a few minutes each morning to review your promotional materials and make sure they're current and visible throughout your store. Gather your team for a quick reminder about offering financing consistently to every customer — this small daily habit can make a big difference in your results.
• Get comfortable discussing consumer financing with every customer.
  When it becomes second-nature to welcome all customers with a friendly mention of your financing options, to weave financing options into your product discussions, and to present financing information clearly at checkout, you will automatically ensure all customers get the same treatment. And, when financing becomes part of your regular conversation, customers feel more comfortable discussing their payment options with you.
• Use your resources.
