Synchrony Financial Joins ACCA as New Premium Strategic Partner

February 7, 2025

The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Synchrony Financial, one of the nation’s premier consumer financial services companies.

Synchrony’s expertise in offering flexible financing options will empower ACCA members to meet their customers’ needs more effectively, boosting access to affordable and reliable HVACR systems.

“Synchrony Financial is a recognized leader in the financial services sector; we are thrilled to welcome them as a Premium Strategic Partner,” said Barton James, ACCA president and CEO. “Having industry leaders like Synchrony on board with ACCA reflects our ongoing commitment to connect our members with trusted partnerships that help them thrive in today’s competitive market.”

ACCA 2024 conference attendees may recall engaging with Strategic Partner Ally Lending at the 2024 conference in Orlando, Florida. Synchrony Financial acquired Ally Lending in 2024 and reaffirmed its commitment to HVACR contractors by rejoining ACCA as a Strategic Partner for 2025. Synchrony will host contractors at a welcome party during ACCA’s Expo Hall at ACCA 2025 in Austin, Texas.

“At Synchrony, we’re committed to creating opportunities that help businesses of all sizes grow, simplify operations, and offer innovative customer experiences,” said Curtis Howse, executive vice president and CEO, Home and Auto, Synchrony. “Partnering with ACCA allows us to connect directly with HVACR professionals and support their mission to deliver exceptional service and solutions to their customers.”

ACCA’s Strategic Partner Program is designed to build lasting relationships with industry leaders, fostering collaboration that benefits the entire HVACR community. The program has already grown in 2025, with five new partners joining the ranks of companies dedicated to supporting contractors and advancing professionalism across the HVACR industry.
