ryn#Synchrony is so stupid! I updated to my PO box address and they've definitely sent items to me there but now some lunatic apparently tried to use my residence address to send something and they insist I provide them the new address by phone. I would just close the account if it wouldn't harm my payments. I guess I'm not going to have a choice but to deal with relay. I'm not gonna give them my residence address
K. A. AndrewsSee thread for details. I was finally able to get somebody who knew what they were doing to update my information for me apart from my legal name. She was the third person I spoke with about this issue. I'll have to send in proof of my name change by mail, which is annoying, but I can't blame #Synchrony for that. I tell you what though... Getting this updated should not have been this hard. I now have no spoons for anything else at this point. Please guys, please provide alternatives to the self-ID scan methods for verification. We visually impaired people really, really have a hard time with that sort of thing, and not all of us have sighted assistance we can call on at any time we want! #A11y #Blind #VisuallyImpaired
I hate, hate, hate #Synchrony bank right now! I need to update my contact information. So not even two hours earlier, I was able to sign in okay thanks to being able to obtain a username, and I didn't have to verify my identification. ThenI went to manage my profile and edit the information on there, and it says give us your phone number so we can send you an actual code. So I do, and it says that they can't verify me via that phone number and to enter another number. My profile shows (even for the customer agent I spoke to) says my number is right.The agent says I need to make sure my number is verified with Social Security. It is. So then I get logged out of Synchrony bank and have to log in again... Now it's asking me to verify ID by scanning ID/selfie, which I can't do because I'm totally #Blind and can't see the stupid animation. You know what, #Sweetwater is great, but they need to use a different bank for their cards. And Synchrony needs better customer service, hands down.
Fabrizio MusacchioHere is a direct follow-up on this, now showing how to implement #GapJunctions in a network of #spiking #neurons (#SNN) using the #NESTsimulator. We simulate a network of 500 inhibitory neurons with gap junctions and analyze the effects on #synchrony and #oscillations. The code is also available on GitHub. Feel free to modify and expand upon it 🤗

DoomsdaysCW#Banking #Outage Leaves Customers Without Account Access
Updated: May 2, 2025 By Robert Farrington
Excerpt:
"Banking Grinds To A Halt
"#Fiserv supplies the infrastructure behind many major financial institutions’ digital platforms. When its systems fail, the effects cascade quickly across the financial ecosystem.
"Banks affected include major players such as #Ally, #BankOfAmerica, #TDBank, #CapitalOne, #Synchrony, and #CitizensBank, as well as #RegionalBanks and local institutions like #NorthwestBank, #SunflowerBank, and #FarmersNationalBank in Ohio. #CreditUnions such as Navy Federal. Even money transfer service #Zelle appears to be impacted.
"Customers have reported a range of issues: locked accounts, unavailable balances, non-functioning transfers, and missed direct deposits.
"One IT staffer at a bank impacted by the outage shared on Reddit, 'It's been a nightmare. ACH files, Zelle, BillPay, and more have all been impacted.'
"Fiserv has not confirmed what the cause of the incident is. According to reports, the outage allegedly appears to have originated from problems with its core processing software (DNA) and related services like Nautilus (document and content management) and Payment Exchange (real-time transfers).
"While some functionality has returned for select services, many banks are still experiencing intermittent issues as of Friday afternoon.
"We reached out to Fiserv for comment but as of publication had not heard back. As of now, Fiserv has not released a public timeline for full restoration or details of the cause of the incident.
"This incident is more than just an inconvenience - it highlights how fragile the digital banking experience can be when so many institutions rely on a single vendor.
"Fiserv supports everything from transaction processing to statement delivery. When one system fails, it's not just a front-end website that goes dark. Payments don’t go through. Payroll deposits don’t arrive. Consumers lose access to their money."

Mark Gardner@daringfireball How does this jibe with last year’s rumored #AppleCard switch from #GoldmanSachs' #MasterCard to #AmEx? https://DaringFireball.net/linked/2023/11/28/apple-goldman-breakup. (The other rumored partner was #Synchrony.)
Another possibility might be #Barclays; last month, #Goldman was supposedly in talks to transfer its #GeneralMotors card program there: https://WSJ.com/finance/goldman-sachs-general-motors-credit-card-barclays-226d2b02
(Barclays had a #Visa with #Apple Rewards card in the 2010s.)
