Synchrony and The Good Feet Store Extend Financing Partnership

Synchrony's CareCredit Ensures The Good Feet Store Has the Support It Needs to Drive Sales and Provide Financing Options to Customers

STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a premier consumer financial services company, today announced a multi-year partnership renewal with The Good Feet Store, a market-leading manufacturer and retailer of premium, personally fitted arch supports. Under the expanded agreement, Synchrony's CareCredit health and wellness credit card will be offered as an in-store payment option at most of The Good Feet Store's more than 250 brick-and-mortar locations, enabling customers to finance arch support products for improved alignment and less pain.

The Good Feet Store first partnered with Synchrony in 2009 to drive business growth and offer new ways for its customers to finance arch support products. Since that time, the partnership has grown and in 2023 alone, the partnership with The Good Feet Store contributed to a 10% increase in its average transaction total, and a 35% increase in its total number of transactions. Additionally, 30% of The Good Feet Store's sales were from existing CareCredit cardholders.

"CareCredit's 35-plus years of retail finance and wellness experience is a great fit for The Good Feet Store and its customers," said Erin Gadhavi, SVP & GM, Wellness, Synchrony. "The CareCredit network includes a wide range of health and wellness providers and retailers, enabling customers to use our financial solutions for their health and wellness purchases as they seek to achieve and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This includes things like dental care, sleep products and the personalized arch support system at The Good Feet Stores."

Consumers looking for a flexible way to pay for their personalized arch support system can apply at The Good Feet Store locations or on any smart device, starting with a check to see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in real time, with no impact to their credit score. A credit decision is given in minutes and if approved, customers can use their account to purchase the products they want or need right away. Existing CareCredit cardholders can also use their cards for purchases at The Good Feet Store locations.

"At The Good Feet Store, we're passionate about helping people move towards the life they love, two feet at a time, free from the limitations of pain or discomfort," stated Doug Zarkin, Chief Brand Officer of Good Feet Holdings, LLC. "We recognize that foot, knee, hip, and back pain affects individuals across all walks of life. It's incredibly rewarding to collaborate with Synchrony, as this partnership allows us to extend more flexible financing options to our customers, helping them access the pain relief they need to enjoy a better quality of life."
