Apple is now partnering with Goldman Sachs to offer a savings account with a 4.15% interest on Apple Card. This is way higher than the average APY at just 0.37%.
Per BI, the average bank interest rate on savings accounts is just 0.37%. On the other hand, Apple is paying you a 4.15% interest on its Apple Card savings account with no minimum deposit or balance needed.
Apple VP of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, Jennifer Bailey, gave a statement regarding their goal and what they plan to offer users.
Bailey: “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.”
Apple is launching this feature to offer more than what they already offer with another feature called Daily Cash. The Daily Cash reward program gives users up to 3% back on purchases.
Per Apple's blog post, the Savings account comes with no fees and users can access the Savings feature from their Wallet dashboard. Users are also allowed to withdraw funds anytime.
