Key Takeaways
- Apple Card and Apple Savings balances, rewards, and account history will carry over when JPMorgan takes over as the credit card issuer.
- Apple Savings customers will be able to choose between a new JPMorgan savings account or their existing Goldman Sachs savings account.
If you have an Apple Card—or the Apple Savings account tied to it—your account will be moving to a new bank. Here’s what you need to know.
Apple (AAPL) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) on Wednesday announced a deal that will make Chase the issuer of the Apple Card, replacing Goldman Sachs. The transition is expected to happen in about two years, the companies said.
Consumers’ Apple credit-card and savings balances, payment history, credit limit, and Daily Cash balance—cash back that can be redeemed after a transaction posts to the account—will carry over with the transition, the companies said.
Why This Matters
If you use the Apple Card or keep cash in Apple Savings, this change affects who actually holds your money and services your account. In a practical sense, your balances and rewards are expected to move automatically.
A notable change: Current and new Apple Card customers both have the option to open an Apple Savings account. After the transition, current Apple Savings account customers will get a choice of two accounts, according to The Wall Street Journal: a new account from JPMorgan or their existing Apple Savings account with Goldman Sachs, citing people familiar with the matter.
The current Apple Savings account has no monthly fee or minimum balance requirements and is federally insured for balances up to $250,000. As of Thursday, it pays a 3.65% APY. Chase does not currently offer a high-yield savings account. The Journal’s report said the bank plans to develop its own savings product in association with the card; more information on Apple Savings “will be communicated with users as the transition date approaches,” Apple said.
Mastercard (MA) will continue as the Apple Card’s payment network. No changes to the terms of the Apple Card are expected, and credit reports will be updated to reflect Chase as the issuing bank, according to Apple.
“Any changes or additional details will be shared directly with Apple Card users as the transition date approaches,” according to Apple’s website.
Talk of an Apple-Chase deal has been in the news since late 2024. In January 2025, Goldman Sachs noted the possibility of ending its credit card partnership with Apple.
