STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), a premier consumer financial services company with 80 years of retail heritage, has earned a top spot on BenchmarkPortal’s 2015 list of the Top 100 Call Centers, finishing second among all large-sized call centers (250+ agents). Synchrony Financial and the other award recipients were cited for providing superior service and financial performance.

The Top 100 competition compares the performance of contact centers throughout North America by evaluating their key metrics against industry peers. Entries are cross-checked, validated and approved by certified call center experts, and the resulting submissions are scored on the basis of both quality and cost efficiency.

Since the Top 100 process is based entirely on statistical comparison to the world’s largest and most respected database of call center metrics, this competition can objectively identify centers who are achieving superior results both in financial and qualitative terms.

“Our business is built on providing great experiences and an outstanding level of support to our customers and partners. I’m especially proud of our thousands of agents, whose hard work day in and day out is reflected in this award,” said Kurt Grossheim, chief operating officer of Synchrony Financial. “We’re honored to be named among the top three very best call centers in North America for the second year in a row.”

BenchmarkPortal audited Synchrony Financial’s call center metrics and processes, comparing key performance indicators with best practice data from thousands of contact centers. The rigorous certification process is metrics-driven and assesses call centers against objective and quantitative data for efficiency and effectiveness.

This is not easy to do, and we congratulate them on their accomplishment.”
