Apple Card users can opt to increase their Daily Cash rewards by depositing their Daily Cash into a high-yield Savings account from Goldman Sachs.

Starting today, Apple Card users have the choice to grow their Daily Cash rewards with a Savings account from Goldman Sachs, which offers a high-yield APY of 4.15 percent1 – a rate that’s over 10 times the national average.2 With no fees, minimum deposits, or minimum balance requirements, users can effortlessly set up and manage their Savings account directly from Apple Card in Wallet.3

“Our goal is to create 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,” said Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.

Once a Savings account is set up, all future Daily Cash earned by the user will be automatically deposited into the account. The Daily Cash destination can also be changed at any time, and there’s no limit on how much Daily Cash users can earn. To further increase their savings, users can deposit additional funds into their Savings account through a linked bank account or from their Apple Cash balance.

Users will also have access to an easy-to-use Savings dashboard in Wallet, where they can conveniently track their account balance and interest earned over time. Users can also withdraw funds at any time through the Savings dashboard by transferring them to a linked bank account or to their Apple Cash card, with no fees.4

The new Savings account from Goldman Sachs enhances the financial health benefits that Apple Card already offers, with no fees,5 Daily Cash on every purchase, and tools that encourage users to pay less Apple Card interest — all while providing the privacy and security that users expect from Apple.
