SYNCB/WLMRTD is a credit report code representing Synchrony Bank/Walmart. This code may appear on your credit report as a hard inquiry, which typically occurs when you apply for a Walmart credit card issued by Synchrony Bank.
The Impact of Hard Inquiries on Your Credit Score
Hard inquiries on your credit report can lower your credit score by a few points. Having too many hard inquiries, particularly within a short period, can cause more significant damage to your credit score.
Managing Hard Inquiries on Your Credit Report
Hard inquiries can remain on your credit report for up to two years. These inquiries are recorded by the three major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – and can potentially affect your ability to secure credit in the future.
To maintain a healthy credit score, it’s essential to keep hard inquiries to a minimum and only apply for credit when necessary.
