Apple has rolled out a high-yield annual percentage yield (APY) savings account with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that offers 4.5% interest rate. Users can set up and manage their Savings account straight from Apple Card in Wallet, with no fees, no minimum deposits, and no minimum balance restrictions.
Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet said, “Savings helps our users get even more value out of their favourite Apple Card benefit — Daily Cash — while providing them with an easy way to save money every day.”
Bailey added, "Our goal is to build tools that help users lead healthier financial lives, and building Savings into Apple Card in Wallet enables them to spend, send, and save Daily Cash directly and seamlessly — all from one place."
When you use your Apple Card, you earn a portion of your purchase back as Daily Cash.
