At Home Group announced on Wednesday (Oct. 12) that shoppers looking to decorate or refresh their living spaces with the latest in home décor will soon be able to take advantage of consumer rewards and flexible payment options offered by a new consumer financing program through Synchrony Financial, a consumer financial services company with more than 80 years of retail heritage.

In a press release, the company said At Home and Synchrony Financial have reached a multi-year agreement to provide qualifying cardholders with Dual Card and private-label credit cards beginning in spring 2017.
