Kurzantwort
SYNCB is Synchrony Bank, issuer of store credit cards for Amazon, Lowe's, PayPal, CareCredit, and dozens more. SYNCB/AMAZON is a payment toward the Amazon store card — not an Amazon purchase.
Warum dieser Text erscheint
Like Comenity, Synchrony is the bank behind retail cards, and bill payments show the bank's abbreviation plus the partner brand. The /AMAZON suffix at least names the store; other Synchrony entries are less helpful.

- It reads like an Amazon charge but is actually a credit-card bill payment.
