Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
SYF expands its CareCredit integration with Clover, streamlining patient financing for providers.
The integration allows applications and payments to be processed directly on Clover devices.
CareCredit is now pre-installed on Clover, enhancing workflows and expanding provider access.
Synchrony Financial (SYF - Free Report) recently announced an enhanced integration with Clover, the comprehensive commerce platform from Fiserv (FISV - Free Report) . This expanded collaboration now enables more than 40,000 health and wellness providers using Clover devices to not only accept CareCredit credit card payments but also process new CareCredit applications directly at the point of sale.
The 2024 collaboration enabled health and wellness providers to accept CareCredit payments through Clover devices. Building on this foundation, the expanded integration now empowers providers to manage the complete patient financing process — ranging from application to final payment — entirely within the Clover platform.
The “Pay with CareCredit” app is the first and only patient financing solution available in the Clover App Market. It comes fully integrated and pre-installed on Clover devices, allowing staff to accept CareCredit payments directly within their current workflows. This built-in functionality removes the need for extra equipment or standalone systems, making it simpler for providers to offer financing options right at the point of sale.
The full integration of CareCredit into Clover devices is seen as a significant operational advantage as payment systems are expected to be streamlined, the patient experience is improved, and business growth is supported for healthcare providers and small businesses.
Benefits of the Recent Move to Synchrony
The extended tie-up deal is likely to expand the reach of CareCredit financing options and drive the performance of the Health & Wellness platform of Synchrony, of which the CareCredit brand is a part.

This sales platform offers a wide range of healthcare payment and financing solutions through an extensive network of providers and retail locations.

Synchrony’s financing options have an extensive reach across varied industries. An active pursuit of acquisitions and renewal of alliances with national and regional retailers, local merchants, manufacturers, buying groups, industry associations and healthcare service providers widens credit accessibility for consumers, enhances the portfolio of SYF, brings new clients, and retains existing ones, as well as generates increased repeat sales. During the first nine months of 2025, more than 40 partner relationships were either newly established or renewed by SYF.
