<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a premier consumer financial services company delivering one of the industry&#146;s most complete digitally-enabled product suites. Our
experience, expertise and scale encompass a broad spectrum of industries, including digital, health and wellness, retail, telecommunications, home, auto, outdoor, pet and more. We have an established and diverse group of national and regional
retailers, local merchants, manufacturers, buying groups, industry associations and healthcare service providers, which we refer to as our &#147;partners.&#148; During 2024, we financed $182.2&nbsp;billion of purchase volume, and at
December&nbsp;31, 2024, we had $104.7&nbsp;billion of loan receivables and 71.5&nbsp;million active accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We offer our credit
products primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. In addition, through the Bank, we offer, directly to retail, affinity relationships and commercial customers, a range of deposit products insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;), including certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts (&#147;IRAs&#148;), money market accounts, savings accounts and sweep and affinity deposits. We also take deposits at the Bank through third-party
securities brokerage firms that offer our FDIC-insured deposit products to their customers. Our deposit base has continued to serve as a source of stable and diversified <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT> funding for our credit
activities. At December&nbsp;31, 2024, we had $82.1&nbsp;billion in deposits, which represented 84% of our total funding sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
conduct our operations through a single business segment. Profitability and expenses, including funding costs, credit losses and operating expenses, are managed for the business as a whole. Substantially all of our revenue generating activities are
within the United States and are aligned through five sales platforms (Home&nbsp;&amp; Auto, Digital, Diversified&nbsp;&amp; Value, Health&nbsp;&amp; Wellness and Lifestyle). Those platforms are organized by the types of partners we work with, and
are measured on interest and fees on loans, loan receivables, active accounts and other sales metrics. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Home&nbsp;&amp; Auto sales
platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions with integrated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-store</FONT> and digital experiences through a broad network of partners and merchants providing home and automotive merchandise and
services, as well as our Synchrony Car Care network and Synchrony HOME credit card offering. In March 2024, we completed our acquisition of Ally Financial Inc.&#146;s
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">point-of-sale</FONT></FONT> financing business (&#147;Ally Lending&#148;), which deepened our presence in the home improvement sector, including specialty areas such as roofing, HVAC
and windows. Our Home&nbsp;&amp; Auto sales platform partners include a wide range of key retailers in the home improvement, furniture, bedding, flooring, appliance and electronics industry, such as Ashley HomeStores LTD, Floor&nbsp;&amp; Decor,
Lowe&#146;s, and Mattress Firm, as well as automotive merchandise and services, such as Chevron and Discount Tire. In addition, we also have program agreements with manufacturers, buying groups and industry associations, such as Generac, Nationwide
Marketing Group and the Home Furnishings Association. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Digital sales platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions
with integrated digital experiences through partners and merchants who primarily engage with their consumers through digital channels. Our Digital sales platform includes key partners delivering digital payment solutions, such as PayPal, including
our Venmo program, online marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, and digital-first brands and merchants, such as Fanatics, the Qurate brands, and Verizon. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024 before investing in the notes. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the trading price of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Synchrony is a holding company and will rely significantly on dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank to fund payments
on the notes. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a holding company, Synchrony will rely significantly on dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank
to fund any payments on the notes and Synchrony&#146;s other obligations, as well as to fund any dividends to its stockholders and repurchases of its stock. Accordingly, Synchrony&#146;s ability to make payments on the notes depends upon the
earnings of and the distribution of funds from its subsidiaries, including the Bank. Restrictions on Synchrony&#146;s subsidiaries&#146; ability to distribute cash to it could materially affect Synchrony&#146;s ability to make payments on its
indebtedness, including the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The ability of the Bank to make dividends and other distributions and payments to Synchrony is subject
to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the U.S. Treasury (&#147;OCC&#148;) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (&#147;Federal Reserve&#148;). Limitations on the amounts Synchrony receives from the Bank
could impact its liquidity and its ability to make payments on the notes when due. See &#147;Regulation&#151;Risk Factors Relating to Regulation&#151;We are subject to restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends and repurchase our common
stock; the Bank is subject to restrictions that limit its ability to pay dividends to us, which could limit our ability to pay dividends, repurchase our common stock or make payments on our indebtedness&#148; and &#147;Regulation&#151;Regulation

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, neither the notes nor the terms of Synchrony&#146;s other indebtedness restrict the ability of Synchrony&#146;s subsidiaries to
incur indebtedness or enter into other agreements that may restrict or prohibit its subsidiaries from distributing cash to Synchrony. Synchrony cannot assure you that the indebtedness of its subsidiaries or other agreements to which its subsidiaries
are a party will permit its subsidiaries to distribute sufficient cash to Synchrony to fund payments on the notes when due. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We may
redeem the notes prior to their maturity date and you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in a comparable security. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may,
at our option, redeem the notes at the applicable times and at the applicable redemption price described herein under &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Optional Redemption.&#148; In the event we choose to redeem your notes, you may not be able to
reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the notes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Synchrony and will rank equally in right of payment with all its other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. As a result, the indebtedness represented by the notes will effectively be subordinated to any secured indebtedness Synchrony may incur, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2024, Synchrony had no secured indebtedness outstanding, and $5.4&nbsp;billion of indebtedness that ranked equally with the notes. </P>

any covenant or agreement (other than nonpayment of principal, premium (if any) or interest) that applies both to the notes and to any outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to August&nbsp;2, 2024, or if certain cross defaults on
Synchrony&#146;s or its subsidiaries&#146; indebtedness occur, or if certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur with respect to the Bank, the trustee and holders of the outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to
August&nbsp;2, 2024 would have acceleration rights with respect to the outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to August&nbsp;2, 2024 that would not be available to the trustee or holders of the notes. In addition, if Synchrony fails to pay
the principal of or premium (if any) on any outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to August&nbsp;2, 2024 when due, an event of default would occur immediately with respect to such outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to
August&nbsp;2, 2024 (and the exercise of acceleration rights could proceed immediately in accordance with the provisions of the applicable indenture under which such outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to August&nbsp;2, 2024 were
issued), whereas, if Synchrony fails to pay the principal of or premium (if any) on the notes when due, the trustee and holders of the notes must wait for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> cure period to expire before such
nonpayment of principal becomes an event of default and any acceleration rights are triggered with respect to such nonpayment. Any repayment of the principal amount of outstanding senior debt securities issued prior to August&nbsp;2, 2024 following
the exercise of acceleration rights in circumstances in which such rights are not available to the holders of the notes could adversely affect Synchrony&#146;s ability to make timely payments on the notes thereafter. These limitations on the rights
and remedies of holders of the notes could adversely affect the market value of the notes, especially during times of financial stress for us or our industry. </P>

Synchrony sells, conveys or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to one or more entities that are direct or indirect subsidiaries in which Synchrony and/or one or more of its subsidiaries owns more than 50% of the combined voting power,
under the indenture, such subsidiary or subsidiaries will not be required to assume Synchrony&#146;s obligations under the notes, and Synchrony will remain the sole obligor on the notes. In such event, creditors of any such subsidiary or
subsidiaries would have additional assets from which to recover on their claims while holders of the notes would be structurally subordinated to creditors of such subsidiary or subsidiaries with respect to such assets. See &#147;Description of the

that creditors of its subsidiaries (including the creditors and depositors of the Bank) and its securitization entities will be paid from their respective assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to those assets. As of

additional borrowings by Synchrony&#146;s subsidiaries or securitization entities that are effectively senior to the notes and, subject to certain exceptions, permits Synchrony&#146;s subsidiaries to issue equity interests that have priority over
its interests in the subsidiaries. If Synchrony incurs additional indebtedness or liabilities, its ability to make payments on the notes could be adversely affected. Synchrony expects that it will from time to time incur additional debt and other

interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. In general, as market interest rates rise, debt securities bearing interest at fixed rates of interest decline in value. Consequently, if you purchase notes
bearing interest at fixed rates of interest and market interest rates increase, the market values of those notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates. In addition, credit rating agencies continually review their
ratings for the companies that they follow, including us. The credit rating agencies also evaluate the consumer finance industry as a whole and may change their credit rating for us based on their overall view of our industry. A negative change in
our rating or that of other peer companies could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The interest rate on the

March 6, 2030, the notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.450% per annum. However, during the period from, and including, March 6, 2030, to, but excluding, the maturity date, the notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to
Compounded SOFR plus 168 basis points, as further described below under &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Interest&#151;Floating Rate Period.&#148; As a result, the interest rate in any interest period during the floating rate period may be less
than the initial interest rate or the interest rate that applies in the preceding interest period, which would affect the amount of any interest payments under the notes and, therefore, could affect their market value. </P>

period will only be capable of being determined near the end of such interest period in relation to the notes. Consequently, you will not know the amount of interest payable with respect to each such interest period until shortly prior to the
related interest payment date, and it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on the notes on each such interest payment date. In addition, some investors may be unwilling or unable to trade the
notes without changes to their information technology systems, both of which could adversely impact the liquidity and trading price of the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The interest rate on the notes during the floating rate period will be based on a compounded SOFR, which will be determined by reference
to the SOFR Index, a relatively new market index. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For each interest period during the floating rate period, the interest rate on
the notes will be based on a compounded SOFR calculated by reference to the SOFR Index (as defined below) using the specific formula described in this prospectus supplement. The SOFR Index measures the cumulative impact of compounding the daily
secured overnight financing rate (&#147;SOFR&#148;) as provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the &#147;FRBNY&#148;). The value of the SOFR Index on a particular business day reflects the effect of compounding SOFR on such business day
and allows the calculation of compounded SOFR averages over custom time periods. For this and other reasons, the interest rate during any Observation Period (as defined below) will not be the same as the interest rate on other SOFR-linked
investments that use an alternative basis to determine the applicable interest rate. Further, if the SOFR rate in respect of a particular date during the Observation Period for an interest period is negative, its contribution to the SOFR Index will
be less than one, resulting in a reduction in the Compounded SOFR (as defined below) used to calculate the interest rate on the notes during the relevant interest period. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The FRBNY only began publishing the SOFR Index on March&nbsp;2, 2020. In addition, the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SOFR
in market precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula for Compounded SOFR used in the notes may not be widely adopted by other market participants. The market value of the notes would likely be adversely affected if the market adopts a
different calculation method. </P>

performance. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The FRBNY began to publish SOFR in April 2018. Although the FRBNY has also begun publishing historical indicative
SOFR going back to 2014, such historical indicative data inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. Therefore, SOFR has limited performance history and no actual investment based on the performance of SOFR was possible before
April 2018. The level of SOFR during the floating rate period for the notes may bear little or no relation to the historical level of SOFR. The future performance of SOFR is impossible to predict and, therefore, no future performance of SOFR or the
notes may be inferred from any of the hypothetical or actual historical performance data. Hypothetical or actual historical performance data are not indicative of the future performance of SOFR or the notes. Changes in the levels of SOFR will affect
Compounded SOFR and, therefore, the return on the notes and the trading price of such notes, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that SOFR or Compounded SOFR will be positive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of U.S. dollar LIBOR and any failure of SOFR to gain market
acceptance could adversely affect the notes. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial
contracts as an alternative to the U.S. dollar London interbank offered rate (&#147;U.S. dollar LIBOR&#148;) in part because it is considered representative of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement market.
However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. In addition, SOFR is an
overnight rate, while U.S. dollar LIBOR represented interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR or the SOFR Index will perform in the same way as U.S. dollar LIBOR would have at any time, including,
without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility, or global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The differences between SOFR and U.S. dollar LIBOR may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable substitute or
successor for all of the purposes for which U.S. dollar LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR.
In addition, an established trading market for the notes may never develop or may not be very liquid if developed. Market terms for debt securities that are linked to SOFR, such as the spread over the base rate reflected in the interest rate
provisions applicable to the notes, may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the notes may be lower than those of later-issued debt securities that are linked to SOFR. If for these or other reasons SOFR does not prove to be widely
used in debt securities that are similar or comparable to the notes, the trading price of the notes may be lower than those of debt securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used. Investors in the notes may not be able to sell their
notes at all or may not be able to sell their notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market
risk. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The price at which the notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less
than the amount for which they were originally purchased. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The price at which the notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend
on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i)&nbsp;actual or anticipated changes in the level of SOFR, (ii)&nbsp;volatility of the level of SOFR, (iii)&nbsp;changes in interest and yield rates, (iv)&nbsp;any actual or anticipated
changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads and (v)&nbsp;the time remaining to maturity of the notes. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity and the more tailored the exposure, the more the market price of the notes will be
affected by the other factors described in the preceding sentence. This can lead to significant adverse changes in the market price of securities like the notes. Depending on the actual or anticipated level of SOFR, the market value of the notes may
decrease and you may receive substantially less than 100% of the issue price if you sell your notes prior to maturity. </P>

methodological or other changes that could change the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR or timing related to the publication
of SOFR. These changes may be materially adverse to the interests of investors in the notes, by, for example, reducing the amount of interest payable on the notes during the floating rate period and the trading prices of the notes. In addition, the
FRBNY may withdraw, modify or amend the published SOFR Index or other SOFR data in its sole discretion and without notice. The interest rate for any interest period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to the SOFR Index or other

or tenors and other administrative matters. The determination of a Benchmark Replacement, the calculation of the interest rate on the notes during the floating rate period by reference to a Benchmark Replacement (including the application of a
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and any other determinations, decisions or elections that may be made under the terms of the notes in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event,

could adversely affect the value of the notes, the return on the notes and the price at which you can sell the notes); (ii) any failure of the Benchmark Replacement to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the notes; (iii)&nbsp;the Benchmark

or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the benchmark announcing that the benchmark is no longer representative. The rate of interest on the notes may therefore cease to be determined by reference to the
SOFR Index and instead be determined by reference to the Benchmark Replacement, even if the SOFR Index continues to be published. Such rate may be lower than Compounded SOFR for so long as the SOFR Index continues to be published, and the value of

market rates during corresponding periods. In addition, although changes in Compounded SOFR generally are not expected to be as volatile as changes in SOFR on a daily basis, the return on, value of and market for the notes may fluctuate more than
floating rate debt securities with interest rates based on less volatile rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We or our designee will make certain determinations

may exist between us, or our designee (which may be our affiliate), and you. Any of these determinations may adversely affect the value of the notes, the return on the notes and the price at which you can sell the notes. Moreover, certain
determinations, such as with respect to Compounded SOFR or the occurrence or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-occurrence</FONT> of a Benchmark Transition Event and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, may require the exercise of
discretion and the making of subjective judgments. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the value of the notes, the return on the notes and the price at which you can sell the notes. For further information regarding

market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the notes in any automated dealer quotation system. We cannot provide you with any assurance regarding whether a trading market for the notes
will develop, the ability of holders of the notes to sell their notes or the price at which holders may be able to sell their notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes. However, the underwriters
are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. If no active trading market develops in the notes, you may be unable to resell your notes at any price or at their fair
market value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may
include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing
transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while this offering is in progress. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the
underwriting discount received by it because the representatives or their respective affiliates have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any
time. These transactions may be effected in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 6, 2025, which will be the third business day
after the date of this prospectus supplement. Under Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> of the SEC under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a
trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before the delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in three business days, to
specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Such purchasers should consult their own advisors in this regard. </P>

Our experience, expertise and scale encompass a broad spectrum of industries, including digital, health and wellness, retail, home, auto, outdoor, jewelry, pets and more. We have an established and diverse group of national and regional retailers,
local merchants, manufacturers, buying groups, industry associations and healthcare service providers, which we refer to as our &#147;partners.&#148; We connect our partners and consumers through our dynamic financial ecosystem and provide them with
a diverse set of financing solutions and innovative digital capabilities to address their specific needs and deliver seamless, omnichannel experiences. We utilize a broad set of distribution channels, including mobile apps and websites, as well as
online marketplaces and business management solutions like <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Point-of-Sale</FONT></FONT> platforms. Our offerings include private label, dual,

retailers and manufacturers with well-known consumer brands, such as Lowe&#146;s and Sam&#146;s Club and also leading digital partners, such as Amazon and PayPal. We believe our business model has been successful because it aligns our interests with
those of our partners and provides substantial value to both our partners and our customers. Our partners promote our credit products because they generate increased sales and strengthen customer loyalty. Our customers benefit from instant access to
credit, discounts, or other benefits such as cash back rewards, and promotional offers. We seek to differentiate ourselves through our deep industry expertise, our long history of consumer lending, our innovative digital capabilities and our diverse
product suite. We have omni-channel <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(in-store,</FONT> online and mobile) technology and marketing capabilities, which allow us to offer and deliver our credit products instantly to customers across multiple channels.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct our operations through a single business segment. Profitability and expenses, including funding costs, credit losses and
operating expenses, are managed for the business as a whole. Substantially all of our revenue activities are within the United States. We primarily manage our credit products through five sales platforms (Home&nbsp;&amp; Auto, Digital,
Diversified&nbsp;&amp; Value, Health&nbsp;&amp; Wellness and Lifestyle). Those platforms are organized by the types of partners we work with, and are measured on interest and fees on loans, loan receivables, active accounts and other sales metrics.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Home&nbsp;&amp; Auto sales platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions with integrated <FONT

offering. Our Digital sales platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions with integrated digital experiences through partners and merchants who primarily engage with their customers through digital channels. Our
Diversified&nbsp;&amp; Value sales platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions with integrated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-store</FONT> and digital experiences through large retail partners who deliver everyday value to
consumers shopping for daily needs or important life moments. Our Health&nbsp;&amp; Wellness sales platform provides comprehensive healthcare payments and financing solutions, through a network of providers and health systems, for those seeking
health and wellness care for themselves, their families and their pets. Our Lifestyle sales platform provides comprehensive payments and financing solutions with integrated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-store</FONT> and digital experiences
through partners and merchants who offer merchandise in power sports, outdoor power equipment, and other industries such as sporting goods, apparel, jewelry and music. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We offer our credit products primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. In addition, through the Bank, we offer, directly to
retail, affinity relationships and commercial customers, a range of deposit products insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;), including certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts (&#147;IRAs&#148;), money
market accounts, savings accounts and sweep and affinity deposits. We also take deposits at the Bank through third-party securities brokerage firms that offer our FDIC-insured deposit products to their customers. We have significantly expanded our
online direct banking operations in recent years and our deposit base serves as a source of stable and diversified low cost funding for our credit activities. </P>

appointment of a majority of the directors on our board of directors, or exercise a controlling influence over our management or policies, it would be required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. An existing bank holding
company generally would need to obtain the Federal Reserve Board&#146;s approval before acquiring 5% or more of any class of our voting stock. In addition, under other Federal Reserve Board regulations, if any individual or entity seeks to acquire,
either acting alone or in concert with others, 25% or more of any class of our voting stock, the individual or entity generally is required to provide 60 days&#146; prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board. An individual or entity is presumed to
control us, and therefore generally required to provide 60 days&#146; prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board, if the individual or entity acquires 10% or more of any class of our voting stock, although the individual or entity may seek to rebut
the presumption of control based on the facts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Authorized but Unissued Common and Preferred Stock </I></B></P>
