What is SYNCB/PPMC?
SYNCB/PPMC is a credit report code that represents the financial relationship between Synchrony Bank and the PayPal Mastercard. Synchrony Bank has partnered with PayPal to issue the PayPal Mastercard, which provides users with various rewards and benefits.
Why SYNCB/PPMC Might Appear on Your Credit Report
If you see SYNCB/PPMC on your credit report, it typically indicates that you applied for a PayPal Mastercard. During the application process, Synchrony Bank conducts a credit check to assess your creditworthiness, which results in a hard inquiry being recorded on your credit report.
The Impact of SYNCB/PPMC Hard Inquiries
When Synchrony Bank checks your credit as part of the PayPal Mastercard application, a hard inquiry is placed on your credit report. While a single hard inquiry might slightly lower your credit score, multiple inquiries in a short timeframe can have a more significant impact, signaling to potential lenders that you may be a higher risk.
How Long SYNCB/PPMC Stays on Your Credit Report
A hard inquiry from SYNCB/PPMC will remain on your credit report for up to two years, regardless of whether your application for the PayPal Mastercard was approved. These inquiries are documented by the major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and will gradually have less impact on your credit score over time.
Handling Unauthorized SYNCB/PPMC Inquiries
If you notice an SYNCB/PPMC inquiry on your credit report that you don’t recognize, it’s essential to act quickly. Contact Synchrony Bank to investigate the source of the inquiry. You can also file a dispute with the credit bureaus to address any unauthorized entries.
