Synchrony Expands Pet Care Financing, Simplifies Claims With Figo Deal
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Synchrony partners with Figo to simplify pet insurance claims through its CareCredit platform.
SYF enables reimbursements to be applied directly to CareCredit, cutting delays and upfront costs.
Synchrony expands to 1.2M insured pets, aligning with its digital payments and pet care growth strategy.
Synchrony Financial (SYF - Free Report) has announced a new partnership with Figo Pet Insurance to enhance its pet health reimbursement solution. This deal is aimed at providing pet owners with a simpler and more convenient way to manage veterinary care costs.
Under this partnership, pet owners can use CareCredit to pay their vet bills upfront and then file an insurance claim. Once the claim is approved, the reimbursement from Figo is sent directly to the CareCredit account. This reduces the need for out-of-pocket payments and removes the hassle of manual reimbursements.
CareCredit is accepted at around 85% of enrolled veterinary clinics in the United States, and this deal expands Synchrony’s reach to over 1.2 million insured pets. The system is designed to make the claims process faster and smoother by directly reducing the customer’s outstanding balance, instead of making them wait for reimbursement.
This benefits pet owners by enabling quicker treatment decisions, while also helping veterinary clinics through more seamless payment processes.
For SYF, the main benefit comes from increased use of its CareCredit platform. As more pet owners finance their vet bills, Synchrony earns more through higher volume, interest income and fees. The partnership also helps bring in new customers from Figo’s user base and supports growth in loan receivables. Direct repayments into CareCredit accounts improve customer retention and encourage repeat usage.
