Partnership Allows Customers to Pay for
Kitchen, Bath and Flooring Installations Over Time
DAWSONVILLE, Ga. and STAMFORD, Conn., June 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a leading consumer
financing company, and Installation Made Easy (IME), a leading
enterprise software and services company supporting retail-based
home improvement programs, today announced a new partnership to
simplify the financing of kitchen, bath and flooring installations
for homeowners.
As part of the partnership, homeowners can purchase materials
from Floor & Decor and immediately schedule an installation
through IME, streamlining the entire home improvement process and
making upgrades and renovations hassle-free. Floor & Decor
cardholders can use their credit card, issued by Synchrony, to
finance both the materials and installation, so they can pay for
their entire project over time.
"Partnering with Synchrony is the perfect next step in our
mission to make home improvement projects easier and more enjoyable
for homeowners," said Jarod
Harriman, President and Chief Operating Officer, IME. "By
offering customers the opportunity to finance their materials and
installation without needing multiple credit cards or loans, we can
help more people make their dream homes a reality."
"Homeowners have to make choices when it comes to home
improvement projects. They can purchase their own materials and go
the DIY route or work with a contractor," said Curtis Howse, CEO of Home & Auto, Synchrony.
"Our partnership with IME takes the guesswork out of the process,
letting customers select the Floor & Decor products they want,
have them installed by experienced professionals and finance it all
with one card."
Synchrony's partnership with IME is part of the company's goal
of expanding its financing capabilities across the home improvement
market and includes plans to scale the partnership to additional
retailers over time.
