Walmart's OnePay partners Synchrony for credit card programme
Walmart-backed consumer fintech firm OnePay has joined forces with Synchrony to exclusively launch a new credit card programme for Walmart.
Scheduled for release in the upcoming fall, the programme will be accessible through the OnePay app and supported by Mastercard's payment network, targeting Walmart's US customers.
This initiative, in partnership with Synchrony and Mastercard, will provide customers with a financial management tool, encompassing saving, spending, borrowing, and investing.
The programme will feature two types of cards - a general-purpose card accepted wherever Mastercard is used, and a private label card exclusive to Walmart purchases.
Both cards will be integrated into the OnePay app, enabling access to OnePay's financial services.
OnePay CEO Omer Ismail said: "Our goal with this credit card programme is to deliver an experience for consumers that's transparent, rewarding, and easy to use. We're excited to be partnering with Synchrony to launch a programme at Walmart that checks each of those boxes and will help serve millions of people."
Synchrony CEO and president Brian Doubles stated: "We are proud to be selected by OnePay to further our mission of helping people live better and build healthier financial futures with Walmart. Together, we aim to drive even greater innovation and new credit experiences to better serve customers while driving long-term, high-quality growth."
This partnership signifies Walmart's return to Synchrony, which had previously issued Walmart-branded credit cards until 2018, before losing the contract to Capital One, as reported by Reuters.
Walmart's decision to part ways with Capital One in 2024 was influenced by operational concerns, including delayed transaction updates and the prolonged issuance of replacement cards.
In March, OnePay collaborated with Klarna to provide exclusive instalment loans to Walmart shoppers in the US.
"Walmart's OnePay partners Synchrony for credit card programme " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

5 Ways Global Companies Are Navigating U.S. Tariff Uncertainty
Tariffs have created a lot of volatility and uncertainty in the supply chain. While these conditions aren't ideal for global companies, they have to adapt in order to remain competitive and gain market share. Seeing how these companies plan to adapt can give small business owners some ideas. Trending Now: Check Out: It's also good for consumers to monitor how companies are navigating U.S. tariffs to assess how much prices will go up. Some corporations are investing in local manufacturing to counter-tariffs. Any goods produced within the United States don't get tariffed and that's a detail automakers have noticed. Ford and General Motors are some of the corporations that are shifting production back to the United States to avoid tariffs. These investments will help automobile companies produce more affordable vehicles in the long run, as higher tariffs make it more difficult for them to operate with global suppliers. Read Next: One of the arguments that has stemmed from tariffs is who will have to pay the additional cost. Although corporations are required to pay tariffs, many of them are offsetting costs on consumers. However, President Trump has urged companies to eat the costs and he specifically called out Walmart. In a post on Truth Social, he told the retailer to 'eat the tariffs' and mentioned that the company made billions of dollars last year. Walmart has been raising prices on its products in response to tariffs, but it's also asking suppliers to pay their fair share. The global retailer has been asking suppliers — especially Chinese suppliers — to lower their prices to minimize the impact of tariffs. Walmart has a lot of leverage in these negotiations due to its sprawling retail presence and its growing e-commerce platform. Some corporations are shifting away from China and focusing on countries that have more generous tariff rates. India, Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia have seen booming demand as corporations look for better deals. These diversified logistics will make global commerce more competitive and can reduce the prices of various products and services. Higher prices will scare away some consumers and it has already triggered some layoffs. Although tariffs aren't entirely to blame, some big tech companies, automakers and entertainment studios have announced layoffs. These job cuts can help companies preserve their profit margins amid tumultuous times. It's also possible that corporations reduce their ad spend if the economy slows. Recent earnings reports from Alphabet and Meta Platforms contradict this possibility, but if the tariffs continue, the impact can eventually spill over into the advertising industry. One of the most common responses to tariffs has been higher prices. Corporations have to raise prices to offset losses from tariffs and many small businesses have also resorted to this measure. Although higher prices can dissuade customers from doing business with them, corporations have to raise their prices to maintain profit margins. A negative profit margin means you won't stay in business for long, even if the corporation is worth billions of dollars. Going back to Walmart, it's true that the company makes billions of dollars in net profit every quarter. However, Walmart's net profit margin hovers just below 3%. This low-profit margin means Walmart has to raise prices to remain profitable amid higher tariff rates.

Accenture Teams with NVIDIA to Advance AI Agenda for Europe with AI Refinery for Sovereign and Agentic AI
First-of-its-kind platform champions data sovereignty and operational resilience with physical AI and supports competitiveness in the path to agentic AI Accenture and NVIDIA achieve momentum with European organizations such as KION AG, L'Oreal-backed Noli, and Nestlé PARIS, June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GTC EMEA 2025 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has expanded its AI Refinery™ platform for Europe with new sovereign and agentic capabilities to help European organizations maintain control over critical data and apply innovative AI solutions. "AI provides a unique opportunity for Europe to reinvent its economy, drive productivity, resilience and competitiveness, and support its future growth," said Mauro Macchi, Accenture's CEO for Europe, Middle East and Africa. "The expansion of our AI Refinery platform enables European organizations to accelerate the deployment of AI agents, while addressing their sovereignty concerns. This is particularly crucial for the public sector and critical infrastructure industries, such as energy, telecommunications and defense." "Sovereign AI is unlocking extraordinary new possibilities while preserving the integrity of national data, infrastructure, and cultural identity across Europe," said Justin Boitano, vice president, Enterprise Software Products at NVIDIA. "Together, NVIDIA and Accenture are working with leaders across the public sector, energy, telecom and the continent's industrial core—from manufacturing to retail—to build a resilient, innovative future powered by AI." New sovereign AI architecture capabilities "As AI adoption accelerates across industry and society, there is a growing need for management and operations across various elements of the AI stack, from infrastructure to models and applications, including data management," said Karthik Narain, group chief executive – Technology and CTO, Accenture. "To address this, we're providing a platform-based approach with AI Refinery for sovereignty, enabling organizations to develop and deploy AI capabilities – leveraging their own cloud infrastructure and adhering to data residency and security requirements with management and observability capabilities baked in – to drive new value and growth while maintaining control in a fast-moving market." Accenture estimates Europe will account for up to 30% of the global sovereign AI market by 2030. To address this demand, Accenture's new sovereign AI architecture builds on the success of Accenture and NVIDIA in deploying one of the world's first comprehensive AI stacks for Indosat. Part of AI Refinery, which is built on NVIDIA Enterprise AI, the sovereign AI architecture has solutions that cater to different market needs and priorities, offered as-a-service. This includes configurable AI models tailored to national languages and contexts; a development and deployment platform that is hosted and managed within a nation's jurisdiction; and secure, easy-to-customize solutions to meet the unique needs of the public sector and critical infrastructure industries. Digital sovereignty often calls for organizations to adopt controls and provisions aligned to sector-specific needs. For example, Accenture is working with a public utility in Europe to deploy sovereign GPUs as-a-service to ensure dedicated AI compute resources remain secured within its national borders. Physical AI enhances operational resilience in manufacturing Manufacturers across Europe are pushing to optimize their production, warehouse, and supply chain operations. The industrial sector is particularly strategic for Europe as it accounts for roughly a quarter of Europe's GDP. With its AI Refinery, Accenture is helping clients implement AI-powered robotics, simulation and digital twins and adapt ways of working with human workers to effectively reinvent warehouse, logistics and manufacturing to drive efficiencies and lower costs. Today, Accenture also introduced a physical AI software development kit (SDK) that can understand video and image segmentation based on predefined parameters or natural language queries by leveraging NVIDIA Metropolis and the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for Video Search and Summarization (VSS).KION has partnered with Accenture and NVIDIA to explore these capabilities to enhance safety, productivity, and quality control in manufacturing and warehouse automation. AI fueling competitiveness and growth Accenture and NVIDIA have continued to demonstrate how AI can help European organizations create a competitive edge by building a foundation for continuous reinvention and future growth. Noli (No One Like I) the first, AI-powered multi-brand marketplace startup founded and backed by L'Oréal Groupe, has teamed with Accenture and NVIDIA to reinvent how people discover and shop beauty products by addressing the number one pain point for beauty shoppers - the overwhelming volume of products and lack of unbiased, often conflicting advice in the market. With AI Refinery, Noli acts as a Beauty Advisor, cutting through the noise, using powerful AI diagnostics and tools built from over one million face scans and analysis of thousands of product formulations, to decode each user's beauty profile and to provide product recommendations to help them make confident, right-for-them choices, which are then delivered to their doorstep. Nestlé is launching a new AI-powered in-house service that will create high-quality product content at scale for eCommerce and digital media channels. Developed in partnership with Accenture, this new content service is based on digital twins and powered by NVIDIA Omniverse platform, providing exact 3D virtual replicas of physical products. Product packaging can be adjusted or localized digitally, enabling seamless integration into various environments, such as seasonal campaigns or channel-specific formats. This means that new creative content can be generated without having to constantly reshoot from scratch. AI Refinery momentum Accenture unveiled its AI Refinery platform in October 2024. It has since filed 55 patent applications across 10 countries, and the technical achievements of its AI Refinery platform have been presented and explored in 12 technical whitepapers. Accelerating the path to agentic AI for organizations, Accenture is on track to deliver its goal of 100 industry agent solutions by the end of the year. In March 2025, it debuted agent builder, which can easily customize agents in a no code environment. The following month, it announced the Trusted Agent Huddle to bring first-of-its-kind multi-system AI agent collaboration capabilities to organizations that need solutions that can span the enterprise. Accenture AI Refinery is available on all public and private cloud platforms and integrates with other Accenture Business Groups to accelerate AI across the SaaS and Cloud AI ecosystem.
