GE Capital Bank is owned by GE Capital, which is shedding assets. This bank has been sold to Goldman Sachs, and the deal will close in a few months. This bank pays a competitive rate and has been easy to deal with.
The other GE Capital Bank is Synchrony, formerly GE Capital Retail Bank. This is the bank that runs all the credit cards. It's being offloaded as well, but in a more complicated set of transactions. Rates are similar, but the transaction platform and rules are not as friendly
Goldman Sachs is unlikely to do anything that will benefit the customer, so I intend to close this account as the sale date nears. To find the best current rates,
