Streamlining the financing offer process and making it available from multiple sources enables retailers to drive online sales

STAMFORD, CONN. – November 23, 2020 – Synchrony, a premier consumer financial services company, expanded its financing platform with new digital capabilities that make it faster and easier for partners to leverage technology at the point of sale and grow their business.

Synchrony Multisource Financing^TM offers additional lending sources within the Synchrony Business Center enabling more consumer financing possibilities. Synchrony has also enhanced its patent-pending dApply capabilities to allow rapid integration of digital credit applications into a partner’s business.

Integrated and enhanced financing options

Synchrony now enables partners to quickly enroll with a secondary lender to increase their customers’ credit application approval rate with Multisource Financing. Expanding partners’ payment options before the holidays will help them drive more sales to completion by enabling more consumers to finance their purchases.

Synchrony partners can streamline the credit application and lending process by offering consumers the simplicity of completing one application, for use with additional lenders, to find the financing option that works best for them. With Multisource Financing, Synchrony also provides easy access to credit applications, account numbers, and purchases for both Synchrony and secondary lenders from one location.

Recent enhancements to Synchrony’s digital application capability, allow business partners including native online businesses, to instantly access the technology. In a matter of minutes, partners can add consumer financing options to their website, social media, and marketing with a simple copy and paste of a link.
