The technology partnership leverages Skipify’s payment infrastructure to provide simplified and enhanced checkout for Synchrony cardholders, improving the experience for shoppers and delivering higher authorization rates, conversion, and security for Synchrony merchants.
Skipify, a leading financial technology company redefining the checkout experience, announced its partnership with Synchrony, a leading consumer finance company with more than 70M active customer accounts across the US. The technology partnership leverages Skipify’s payment infrastructure to provide simplified and enhanced checkout for Synchrony cardholders, improving the experience for shoppers and delivering higher authorization rates, conversion, and security for Synchrony merchants.
As part of the partnership, Skipify, a Synchrony Ventures portfolio company, will add Synchrony Mastercard to its Connected Wallet product, a digital wallet embedded by merchants to ease many checkout challenges. Skipify’s identity-powered wallet recognizes Synchrony cardholders on a merchant’s website automatically, autofilling payment details, surfacing available cards, and offering instant access to points, rewards, and Synchrony financing.
“Skipify is becoming a valuable platform for merchants who are focused on providing an elevated user experience and embedded payment credentials,” said Florin Arghirescu, Chief Product Officer of Synchrony. “We’re excited to bring our joint offering to market and make it easier for Synchrony Mastercard cardholders to make purchases online, with the intent to scale availability to the full suite of Synchrony financing options.”

Synchrony cardholders can now breeze through checkout on any Skipify merchant site.”
