Synchrony and Payzer to Offer Seamless Home Improvement Financing Options
STAMFORD, Connecticut — Synchrony, a financial services company, and Payzer, a WEX company that provides field service management software for residential contractors, have partnered to offer a comprehensive digital process designed to streamline sales and business transactions for contractors. This collaboration integrates Synchrony's robust financing options directly into Payzer's solution, making it easier for contractors to help customers fund their home improvement projects.
Empowering Contractors and Driving Growth
This collaboration offers substantial advantages for contractors using Payzer's field service management solution, designed to streamline business operations, increase sales, and help contractors collect payment quickly:
- All-in-One Solution: Contractors can now manage key aspects of a sale, including financing, within a single platform;
- Enhanced Sales Process: The integration highlights financing opportunities during the estimation process, potentially increasing sales and customer satisfaction; and
- Expanded Network: The partnership leverages shared relationships with manufacturers and distributors, broadening the reach for both companies.
According to Synchrony’s most recent Major Purchase Study, 75% of the dealers surveyed reported that offering financing options from Synchrony increased their average sales. Furthermore, the report found that 45% of major purchase shoppers surveyed with a credit card issued by Synchrony tend to spend more than those paying with other tenders. Paired with Payzer’s platform capabilities, such as proposal comparisons and integrated financing, offering Synchrony financing options becomes seamless.
“By integrating our financing directly into Payzer's solution, we're not just simplifying processes; we're enhancing the entire home improvement journey for both contractors and consumers,” said Curtis Howse, EVP and CEO of Synchrony Home & Auto. “This partnership represents a significant step in our strategy to be present at every crucial point of the sales cycle, ultimately delivering more value to our partners and their customers.”
Enhancing the Financing Experience
The partnership between Synchrony and Payzer also brings significant benefits to customers. Contractors can now access Synchrony's financing options seamlessly within Payzer's platform, eliminating the need to switch between multiple systems. A full suite of 33 promotions is available to contractors, providing customers with flexible financing choices for their home improvement needs. The integration between Synchrony’s financing options and Payzer’s platform allows for a smooth, digital application process, including pre-qualification and instant credit decisions.
“This collaboration with Synchrony aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing contractors with best-in-class tools and services,” said Dylan Jones, senior vice president and general manager, Mobility Growth, WEX. “By incorporating Synchrony's financing options into our platforms, we're giving our contractor network more choices and a competitive edge in the market.”
