Synchrony Teams Up with Pumpkin Pet Insurance for Effortless Pet Care Financing

Synchrony and Pumpkin Pet Insurance Join Forces to Simplify Pet Care Expenses

In a significant move to support pet owners, Synchrony, a prominent consumer financing company, has officially partnered with Pumpkin Pet Insurance. This collaboration provides a seamless solution for managing veterinary costs, minimizing financial strain on pet parents. By utilizing CareCredit, pet owners can now handle expenses more efficiently while ensuring their furry friends receive the necessary medical care.

This partnership allows policyholders of Pumpkin Pet Insurance to use their CareCredit accounts at veterinary practices within the CareCredit network. With over 27,000 participating locations across the nation, this initiative addresses a common concern for many pet owners: the upfront costs of veterinary care.

The process begins when a pet owner visits a veterinary clinic. Rather than worrying about immediate payments, they can conveniently pay using their CareCredit card, which facilitates covering expenses right at the point of care. After the consultation, pet owners file claims with Pumpkin as they would normally do, selecting CareCredit as their reimbursement option. Once Pumpkin processes and approves the claim, the eligible reimbursement amount is directly applied to the owner’s CareCredit account, eliminating the delays often associated with traditional reimbursement methods.

Jonathan Wainberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Pet at Synchrony, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "By joining forces with Pumpkin, we are offering more pet owners a hassle-free and efficient way to navigate their pet care costs. We're dedicated to simplifying financial experiences for pet owners, allowing them to concentrate on providing the best care for their pets. This service has already reached thousands of satisfied customers, and expanding it to Pumpkin is an exciting step forward."

Lior Keren, President of Pumpkin Pet Insurance, emphasized the alignment of values between the two companies, noting, "Our goal at Pumpkin is to make pet care accessible for families. Working alongside CareCredit aligns perfectly with this vision, providing an easy mechanism for claim reimbursements. Our initiative, PumpkinNow, already ensures prompt payment for urgent care, and this new option enhances financial flexibility for pet owners, allowing them more peace of mind in securing the best healthcare for their furry companions."

Beyond just expanding payment options, this partnership highlights Synchrony's commitment to fostering financial wellness among pet owners. The introduction of CareCredit in conjunction with Pumpkin Pet Insurance forms part of Synchrony's broader strategy to enhance offerings for customers in the health and wellness sectors. This cooperative initiative is not just a step towards easing the hardships of pet care expenses, but a move towards building a comprehensive ecosystem that fully supports both the health of pets and the financial well-being of their owners.

As the industry continues to evolve, Synchrony anticipates further developments and additional collaborations with various pet insurance providers, further broadening the range of services available to pet owners. With nearly 100 years of service under its belt, Synchrony is positioned as a trusted partner in providing flexible financing solutions that allow pet owners nationwide to afford a variety of veterinary services, from routine checkups to emergency surgeries.

CareCredit, successfully serving the veterinary community for over 35 years, offers pet owners the resource they need to finance pet healthcare.
