Margaret Keane

Keane had a rough summer: In July, Synchrony revealed that, as of 2019, it will lose its business issuing Walmart-branded credit cards to Capital One, bringing its nearly two-decade relationship with the mega-retailer to an end. With Walmart accounting for over 10% of the company’s interest and fees on loans, the loss has fomented worries that other major partners may also eye alternatives. But it’s not all gloom and doom—Synchrony recently agreed to extend its partnership with PayPal.
