Synchrony announced a partnership with the Independent Animal Hospital Association (IAHA), becoming their preferred financing partner. The IAHA will offer Synchrony's CareCredit health and wellness credit card at the association's more than 500 independent animal hospitals in more than 30 states. This Small Business Month, Synchrony shines a light on its ongoing commitment to empower independent veterinary practices, understanding the vital role these independent practices play in the veterinary profession.
Acceptance of CareCredit offers these practices a flexible financing solution, dedicated support, and valuable resources designed to help address their business needs, foster client loyalty, and ensure long-term growth while expanding access to care for pet owners. IAHA can now offer its members access to financing through CareCredit, including shorter- and longer-term options, allowing their clients to better budget for their pet's care. By offering CareCredit, IAHAarians can focus on delivering the highest level of care knowing they are providing clients with greater financial flexibility.
Pet owners can see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in real time, with no impact to their credit score, and apply on any smart device or apply over the phone. A credit decision is typically provided within a few seconds, and if approved, they can use their account to pay for their pet's care right away. This flexibility helps pet owners to provide the necessary care for their pets, from routine check-ups to emergency treatments.
