Credit Compound

Synchrony Bank

The biggest store-card issuer in America, powering cobrands for PayPal, Venmo, Sam's Club, Verizon, Amazon's store card and over a hundred retailers. Approvals are accessible, but Synchrony actively manages risk after approval, trimming limits and closing idle accounts.

Application Rules

  • ▸Comparatively forgiving underwriting, often approving good rather than excellent credit
  • ▸Known for proactive credit-limit cuts and closures on unused or risky accounts, so keep cards active
  • ▸Each cobrand may add its own eligibility gate, such as an active PayPal account or Verizon service
