Business Insider - The CareCredit card from Synchrony Bank offers financing for a wide variety of health-related expenses, from beauty treatments to medical procedures to pet care. CareCredit has both short- and long-term financing options. The short-term option has 0% interest for up to 24 months, and the long-term option gets you a reduced APR of 14.90% to 17.90% for up to 60 months. It can be a good option for paying down expensive treatments, but only if you pay off your purchase in full by the end of the promotional term. CareCredit is different than your average credit card. It offers financing for health, wellness, and beauty-related treatments and other procedures that aren't covered by your insurance. If you have these expenses, CareCredit's financing offers with 0% interest periods can be appealing, though it's very important you read the fine print and pay the full amount by the end of the promotional period so you're not hit with huge interest rates. What is the CareCredit card? CareCredit
