Belle Tire, Synchrony team up for flexible financing credit card
A Midwestern tire retailer is launching a new branded credit card for customers.
Michigan-based Belle Tire has partnered with financial services company Synchrony to make car care more affordable. The Belle Tire private label credit card, part of the Synchrony Car Care network, will provide customers with access to flexible financing options for a wide range of automotive products and services. Cardholders can take advantage of six months of promotional financing on purchases of $199 or more and twelve months of promotional financing on purchases of $1,000 or more.
Additionally, the Synchrony Car Care credit card can be used not only at Belle Tire locations but also at more than 1 million gas stations, auto parts retailers, and service locations nationwide.
Synchrony collaborated with 1stMILE, Belle Tire's integrated payment provider, to help to ensure a seamless rollout of financing options across all Belle Tire locations, enabling the company to reach more customers from a single platform.
