Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to have good credit to get an Apple Card?
While Goldman Sachs uses your credit score and report to evaluate your application, the Apple Card is designed to be accessible to a wide range of customers. A score in the mid-600s or higher will give you a better chance of approval. Apple also offers a “Path to Apple Card” program for some applicants who are initially declined, which provides steps to help them qualify in the future. - What happens to my Daily Cash rewards?
Your Daily Cash is automatically sent to your Apple Cash card in the Wallet app each day. From there, you can use it to make purchases with Apple Pay, send it to friends via Messages, or transfer it to your bank account. Alternatively, you can have it automatically deposited into a high-yield Savings account, also managed through the Wallet app. - Are there really no fees? What about interest?
It’s true, the Apple Card has no annual fees, foreign transaction fees, late fees, or other common credit card fees. However, like any credit card, if you carry a balance from month to month, you will be charged interest on that balance. - Do I need an iPhone to use the Apple Card?
Yes, to get the full functionality and benefits of the Apple Card, you need a compatible iPhone or iPad. The card is deeply integrated with the Wallet app, which is where you manage your account, track your spending, make payments, and access your virtual card number.
