Walgreens to launch cards in partnership with Synchrony Financial, Mastercard

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. will launch credit cards in partnership with Synchrony Financial and prepaid debit cards, both of which will use Mastercard Inc.'s network.

The credit cards are scheduled to become available in the second half of the year.

The credit cards will connect with Walgreens' customer loyalty program, which launched in November 2020, and cardholders will be able to receive cash rewards and other offers.

In addition, the co-branded credit card will provide benefits through Synchrony and Mastercard at other retailers. Eligible customers will be able to use the Walgreens credit card for purchases at more than 9,000 Walgreens stores, Walgreens.com and via the Walgreens mobile app.
