Synchrony Bank got its start as the consumer credit arm of General Electric way back in 1932, but the financial services firm was spun off as its own company in a 2014 IPO. And like other financial services companies, it provides online-only consumer banking. Synchrony does not have physical branches, so it’s important you feel comfortable banking through its website.

What Are the Benefits of Online Banking?
Online banking provides a number of considerable advantages to customers willing to forgo the more traditional aspects of banking in person. The most obvious is the 24/7 access to your account that most banks offer, allowing you to work around your schedule for many basic transactions. But perhaps more importantly, online banks like Synchrony that don’t have to pay the costs of maintaining physical locations offer higher interest rates on products like savings accounts. And many of the top online banks provide free and reliable mobile apps to their consumers, meaning you’ll be able to manage your money from almost anywhere at almost any time.
