Synchrony , a premier consumer financial services company, is enhancing the way consumers securely shop online and in-app when checking out with Apple Pay on iPhone and iPad. Eligible Synchrony Preferred Mastercard, Synchrony Plus World Mastercard, or Synchrony Premier World Mastercard holders can now choose to pay with the standard terms of their credit card, or use a promotional offer that includes fixed monthly payments.1

"The ability for customers to choose fixed monthly payments in Apple Pay with the Synchrony Mastercard builds upon our leadership in digital payments and represents a big leap forward in offering our customers an enhanced level of flexibility and choice at checkout," said Florin Arghirescu, Chief Product Officer, Synchrony. "We believe this simplifies digital payment transactions and provides cardholders with the ability to make purchases in ways that work best for them." 

Apple Pay provides users with an easy, secure and private way to pay. As with all Apple Pay purchases, when a user pays with a Synchrony Mastercard with Apple Pay, Apple does not retain any transaction information linked to the user.

Synchrony plans to expand the ability to pay for eligible purchases with fixed monthly payments to more Apple Pay users across the company's portfolio of co-branded cards.

Later this year, consumers will also be able to view and redeem rewards from eligible Synchrony-issued cards when checking out online and in-app on iPhone and iPad with Apple Pay, bringing even more flexibility and choice to the checkout experience than ever before.
