Synchrony Teams Up With Amazon to Introduce New Alexa Skill for Amazon Store Card
A convenient way for Amazon Store Cardholders to manage their account by simply talking to Alexa
To get started, cardholders will need to download the Alexa App, login using their Synchrony Bank account details for the Amazon Store Card and establish a four-digit voice key. Then, cardholders will be prompted to enter the voice key when accessing their Amazon.com Store Card or Amazon Prime Store Card account via an Alexa-enabled device. Once set up, cardholders can start to use the skill by saying, "Alexa, Open Store Card".
“The Store Card skill for Amazon Alexa demonstrates our focus on exploring new ways to deliver the best possible experience to our customers,” said Tom Quindlen, executive vice president and CEO, Retail Card at Synchrony. “We’re harnessing voice technology to let consumers manage their Amazon Store Card in a way that’s most convenient to them.”
The initial concept for the skill was developed through Synchrony’s internal innovation programs, including hackathons and the company’s global innovation centers.
Synchrony plans to expand the rollout of voice payment technology across its suite of retail cards in the future.
