If I could give half a star I would. After having to deal with their automated system because they had ALL of my information incorrect so I couldn't access my account... I vow to NEVER use this bank or its services again. Never have I had such an issue or the amount of frustration this has caused. One word: TERRIBLE.

Terrible in this day and age what lender doesn’t have a grace period! But you set the payment dates for your customers! They are aweful and not considerate at all. I am currently trying my best to close my account and never look back.

Synchrony bank credit cards routinely cancel credit cards and lower credit limits even if you pay you bills and are never late or over your credit limit. By doing this it lowers your credit score which allows them to charge you higher interest if you want to get your limit raised again. Crooked business practice.

SUCH A JOKE Synchrony bank has a relationship with Crate and Barell. I was excited to use them. However, they only approved me for 2% of my net income. 2%, and I have sold credit (800) and zero debt. Don't even waste your time getting their credit.

I registered for online banking today. I needed to call customer service because after downloading the app it was telling me that it didn't recognize my account information. The agent was extremely rude and spoke to me like I was stupid. I didn't realize that I couldn't use the online app because that was for credit card, not bank accounts.

I have multiple accounts with synchrony bank. Recently they reduced one of my available cards down by $3000 to the amount that I owe. This puts a hard hit on my credit. I’ve paid on time and haven’t had any issues until now. They didn’t even call me or write a letter in regards to this. Just horrible customer service.

Aprilmiracle.com stole $59.97 from me after Synchrony Bank decided in favor of this merchant twice! I had clear evidence that I never got the item or my money back and they still thought Aprilmiracle.com was in the right! Avoid Synchrony unless you want to approach them with a problem and never see your hard earned money handled fairly!

Why is it SO difficult to find and verify a mailing address for overnight payment for a check that was either lost in the mail or Synchrony mishandled - with these two it's a 50-50 on whose fault it is. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Can't speak to anyone live and the address given on the 800 # you can't verify via Google.

AWFUL. Endless loops to get to your accounts to manage them. Their website stalls and is frequently off-line. I hate having to use them. Mega corps like Sams and Amazon can afford to have a credit department. Using this third party just SUCKS. I really,, really dislike this.

Worst Bank. NO way to get a hold of a customer service rep. The cycle on the phone is a vicious cycle that goes on where. You can't close an account on line, you need to call into this vicious cycle that does not produce a human person. You will end up tearing your hair out and screaming into your phone in total frustration. Stay away.

I use Synchrony for their Amazon shopping card. In my experience, their customer service is largely unhelpful. I don't need customer service often enough to cancel the account. But when I do, they tend to be a waste of time.

Let’s start a class action lawsuit because they close my account for no reasons, I paid my account off never was late. I call try to get understanding why would they close an outstanding account and that lady couldn’t explain to me why.

Synchrony Bank Closed my accounts after years of a great relationship. I had a small glitch in my credit due to a fraudulent charge on one of my accounts ( Not Synchrony ) that drop my credit score. I consider this a low blow. My credit score is now on the upswing because the fraud issue was resolved. Do not Synchrony Bank.

Quick to give credit, but will always look for a way to reduce it and hurt your credit score. They will lower your available credit to within pennys of any balance you have just to lower your score more. I've never had any credit company do this except synchrony.

This company is a scam. I made my payment on time and then they used my info to payoff my account without my authorization. They forced an overdraft on my checking account and refused to fix it. Customer service is horrible and disrespectful. Avoid this scammer at all cost. No matter how much you need the help, it’s not worth the trouble.

This company is horrible. They lower my limits for no reason. The accounts are in good standing no late pays. When they do this that makes my credit score go down due to the fact my utilization has increased to 90% of my limit. Can't wait to pay of these accounts and I will not be doing business with them again

This company is the biggest scam artist I've ever seen. They look for a reason to close your accounts. I paid my bills on time & they closed my accounts because the credit bureau say you are a high risk because you ask for a credit increase. I hope Noone ever uses you again.

This bank is the worst! They hold payments past due date to collect fees. they get payment and do not process payments. I have never had such trouble with a credit card company.

Synchrony Bank refuses to permit downloading statements online unless I agree to paperless billing. I have had both paperless and paper billing for the past 29 months, but they claim this was only a 3 month pilot program they cancelled. All my other credit cards allow downloading statements without enrolling in paperless billing.

Synchrony charged me 897 for a charge that I didn't even make. Assured me after they investigate it and seen it wasn't mine they would refund my money. I was in a spot due to a mortgage I was getting. It's been a year and I'm having to hire a lawyer to get my money back. Just don't do it. It's not worth the head ache

I acquired business loans from Synchrony Bank. First, they are very high interest compared to lenders. Secondly, after you pay off a loan you will wait forever to receive your title. I paid off loans 2 months ago and I have called and called them and they still haven't sent my titles. Very poor customer service. Stay away from them!

Horrid bank to deal with. Had to use them with Amazon credit. There is always random unexplained charges, payments charging twice, and getting your account sent off to collections if you don't pay on the date they tell you to. Forget that you might have an actual life and need to wait til payday to pay them. Avoid them if you can. Not worth it.

Terrible treatment of returned cd investors. Advice: don't be in a hurry to fund your cd accout and watch for strangely non-transparent interest rate changes. Also beware: once your account is funded, if you decide to close it immediately, there is no grace period to do it without a penalty. What an awful pracrtice.

Randomly lowered my credit limit from $2500 to $250 for literally no reason hurting my credit utilization. Trash company. Never use them for anything. Closing every single account with them now.

I wish I could give this card a zero. I go today to use my chevron/ Texaco card but was decline so I called Synchrony and was informed that they closed my account due to lack of real estate on my transunion report I never had a late payment. They should not allow this bank to stay in business and continue to mess with people credit.

Do not get a credit card with Synchrony Bank. Every single purchase you make will require you to call in and verify yourself and purchases because it is "suspicious activity." They will block purchases until you give them a 4 second video and pictures of the front and back of your drivers license and then call them to give them a passcode.
