STAMFORD, Conn. & SEFFNER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF), a premier consumer financial services company with 80 years of retail heritage, announced a multi-year renewal of its private label credit card program with Rooms To Go. Under the agreement, Synchrony Financial will continue providing consumer financing solutions through Rooms To Go’s showrooms in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

The program launched in 2002, and offers Rooms To Go customers special financing options on home furnishings purchases. Cardholders benefit from exclusive offers and extended terms with digital capabilities to manage their account and shop in a showroom, online and on their mobile device.

“Rooms To Go recognizes the value that a strong financing program provides its customers,” said Glenn Marino, executive vice president & CEO of Synchrony Financial’s Payment Solutions division. “We know through our breadth of relationships and decades in home furnishings that the availability of financing is an important factor in making a furniture purchase.”

In fact, 77 percent of cardholders surveyed* “always seek promotional financing” when making a major home furnishings purchase and conduct extensive research online and in-store, searching furniture styles and financing options.

“Partnering with Synchrony Financial has been important to our growth and helped us focus on offering customers the right furnishings at the right price with attractive payment options and easy-to-use account management tools,” said Jeffrey Seaman, CEO of Rooms To Go. “We look forward to continue working together to develop financing programs that build sales and deliver convenience and value for our customers.”
