Once you get a couple of thousands in the savings account, the compound interest plus cash back will eat up a lot of other credit card rewards programs, maybe all of them. secondly if you use the Apple Card as a debit card for those things you would have bought regardless, and pay it off monthly….it is the perfect tracking and budgeting card. I have been a user since it first came out in 2019, and it was a no brainer to get the account the day it was offered.
I'm going to be digging more into credit cards and rewards programs. I'm new to that world - never paid much attention to it - but it's kind of interesting. If you're clever, it looks like a person can really rack up Rewards points on spending that they would do anyway, so it's a big win. You're soooo correct... pay it off every month! The interest rates on balances are getting insane!
I'm mostly outside the country these days and was able to open the savings account and transfer funds from my linked back after transferring funds to the linked bank first from another source. I use the physical card a lot in countries where the terminals don't accept contact-less and the "titanium" card is a sure conversation starter with the clerk. Apple's card has payment due at the end of the following month so a purchase on the first is due at the end of the following month. That and no foreign transaction fees make it my favorite.
It has been a long time since I saw a pure white credit card image! It changes colors every time you use it. Not the physical card of course. Good content!
Thank you for your video! I have been procrastinating about opening a high yield savings account. After watching your video, I realized how easy it would be to open an apple high yield savings account. It only took a few minutes. I really appreciate your video and your help!
Very helpful. I appreciate it a lot. I like it when I am given the instructions as if I am an 8 year old child. I really do. I am a 48-year old healthcare professional but I love clear, almost spoon-feeding instructions. I appreciate your video, sir.
What I like about apple is its very easy and point blank on how to use the services. Whereas when you go to other institutions it’s all difficult to figure out.
Thank you for sharing! I did want to point out that the Apple Wallet app specifically isn’t available on iPad or Mac since those devices can’t be used to make payments in store or house any boarding passes, IDs, etc. However the Apple Pay feature is accessible inside Settings on iPad and Mac. Once setup you can use it to make payments online quickly and securely using biometrics or view account information.
Nice video. I’ve considered getting an Apple Card before because of the benefits but I will definitely be doing this also. I may transfer money from my bank saving account also. the interest on that account is a joke
Sweet! Exactly what I wanted to learn about. Would love to know your thoughts and breakdown on Apple Card. It seems less beneficial compared to other credit cards
I been denied more once for the apple credit card. I been working on my credit a lot. I have a lot of credit cards. But I finally got the apple credit card. I happy now
Maybe I didn't catch it but instead of transferring your money into a linked bank account you can simply transfer it to the Apple Cash card and spend your money from there.
It all depends if you are a credit card nerd and want to maximize benefits from your spending. I haven't looked into all the details but it seems like you won't get any cashback for using the Apple Cash card compared to just using the Apple Credit card and getting 2% with Apple Pay or 1% with the card. Or if you rotate credit cards based on the category then you can get 5% back with a credit card and then just transfer money into a bank and pay off your credit cards. That might be an extra step but since everything is done on your phone nothing is too hard nowadays. You can probably do these task next time you have to wait in line at the grocery store or something.
Amazing explanation!. Now I understand better!. Could you do a review on Chime? I was searching, but didn’t found any useful and easy to understand one.
From the moment they announced it I looked for the saving account option as I’ve had an Apple Card for a long time. Thanks to you, I finally got it opened! Talk about buried! LOL.
Hi, Thanks for the compliment and video idea suggestion! I'll add that to the list of ideas for me to pursue. I'd be doing you a disservice If I tried to give a short answer here.
@William Lee - I have been researching this topic and going through several video breakdowns for the past few days, to find a good one to recommend, and yours is by far the best one. Liked & subscribed!
Hi - If you haven't yet, check what version of iOS your phone is on. Savings requires iOS 16.4 or later. I had that problem myself, and then when I upgraded I could then see Savings.
Limited use other than SAVINGS. Dump your money in while the interest rates are "high". Paying better than most bonds, so a good avenue for fixed rate return (or consider a CD). Interest rates will likely drop over the next 12-18 months but good for now.
Hi - Just do a quick google search asking if your device and iOS version supports Apple Savings. Not all do, so you'll need to check. If you haven't yet, try updating your iOS to make sure you're current.
I'm curious if the Apple accounts are currency agnostic. Can the funds be in Euros or Pounds? I will research this through Apple, but if you know please share. Thanks.
Excellent video but I'm not convinced about your comment at 7:30 that Apple has access to the money - since the account is really at Goldman Sachs. Yes, they could have worked out a split but more likely, Apple is simply using this as a wedge to drive further into their customers' financial life while at the same time making it that much less attractive for customers to leave the Apple ecosystem. None of that really concerns me. But I do wonder how long before that 4.15% rate goes down.
Thanks very much, Don, I appreciate it! Re. the banking question, I probably didn't explain my thinking very well. I don't mean that Apple directly has access to the money. What I meant was this: When Apple sells a computer to someone on credit, some business finances that loan. I assumed Apple did themselves. So now Apple has a receivable. Because Apple - through the banking relationship with Goldman - is now attracting deposits, Goldman could, acting like any other bank, finance Apple's receivables. Doesn't mean I'm right, but that's what I had in mind.
Do I get taxed on this? or need to pay any fees. I want to open up one but it is intimidating for me. I do not want to open up an account knowing I can't pay its fees or anything like that.
Hard to answer because I don't know what phone you have. I'd suggest you do a google search and include your device and the ios version in your search. You should be able to find it there. Good luck!
Would you recommend transferring a chunk of savings from a bank into this account? The rate at my bank is a joke and I could earn some nice cash at 4.15%
Apple is certainly a contender, if you want to keep cash in a savings account. Other alternatives to look at, which might pay a little more, are other online high-yield savings accounts, or CDs (can get this at a bank or through a brokerage), or money market funds (can buy this through a brokerage). Do some research to understand the potential risks for all of these so you can make an informed decision.
@@TheBestWill Thanks so much William. I received some money in a settlement about a year ago and it’s just sitting in a savings account earning next to nothing. I want to invest some of it but am quite the novice when it comes to investments.
@@epdiablo25 If you want a quick video to learn a little bit about investing, maybe watch this one that I made recently: ruclips.net/video/2l8LORsfOSg/видео.html
To transfer your existing Apple Cash balance into Savings: Ensure you have verified your identity in the Apple Cash Card. You can do this in the Wallet App by tapping Apple Cash, then tap the 3dot menu. Tap Card Details, then tap Verify Identity near the bottom of the page. Then - You can initiate an Apple Cash transfer in the Wallet by tapping Apple Card. Tap on Savings, and a box will ask if you want to transfer your Apple Cash balance. Clicked on that and follow the prompts.
I just created my savings account after watching this video. My Apple Cash was automatically transferred to the savings account. It is April 29 2023. I did not have to take any steps to transfer.
Why did you say that the Apple Credit Card is excellent? It pays 3% on Apple purchases and a few other businesses, which is good and it pays 2% for ApplePay purchases. But other than that, it pays 1% everywhere else. Most of my purchases are not retail where ApplePay is accepted. They are internet purchases, utility bills and insurance premiums which are not payable with ApplePay, so I would be stuck with 1% if I used AppleCard. Also, it's a MasterCard, which is not accepted at Costco. I would rather use a Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card, which I get 2% on every purchase -- ApplePay or not -- and since it is a VISA, I can use it at Costco. But the 4.15% savings account is a good deal. You mentioned that there are other banks that pay more than that on regular savings, but the Apple Savings Account is extremely accessible and easy to use.
Add or remove a beneficiary for your Savings account: 1. On your iPhone, open the Wallet app and tap Apple Card. 2. Tap Savings account. 3. Tap the More button. , then tap Account Details. 4. Scroll down and tap Account Information, then tap Manage Beneficiaries. 5. Tap the support number to speak with a Savings Account Specialist.
I don't think you can add money with a check. I believe it is only with an electronic transfer from another bank. As far as I know, there is no limit on how much you can deposit.
There is a 250k Maximum balance and they will refund to you via check if you exceed that amount. Matches the FDIC limit anyway, but there is a limit. Not sure if you can deposit that total amount initially.
Also consider this stance from them... "WE MAY ISSUE YOU A CHECK IF WE OR YOU CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT OR IF YOU EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DEPOSIT LIMIT. IF THE CHECK ISSUED TO YOU IS LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED, PLEASE CALL US IMMEDIATELY. WE MAY NOT REISSUE YOU A CHECK OR PROVIDE YOU WITH REPLACEMENT FUNDS UNLESS 90 DAYS HAVE PASSED AND YOU HAVE PROVIDED AN AFFIDAVIT ATTESTING THE CHECK IS LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED."
I found it easy to open up the account however ran into an issue trying to connect one of my brokerage cash management accounts to fund it. While the account showed up as available whenever I tried to fund the saving account it said the brokerage account wasn’t “verified”. I spent 3 hours with support (mostly just holding) being transferred around. Once hitting the 3rd hour, I had the rep cancel the account. If it is that hard to get money in, I wondered how hard it would be to get money out. By far the worst experience I have had with an Apple product.
Apple Savings is a savings account, just like a savings account at a bank, that pays 4.15% interest at the moment. Acorns Investing is an interesting investing service, but is not a savings account. So I wouldn't say that one is better than the other, they're just different.
Can’t seem to use my Apple savings account as a source of payment to pay my Apple credit card. Bizarre, just like you have to call customer service to link an external bank. I’ll just initiate money out of my account from my external bank until Apple figures this out.
Something to note. I have an Ipad and not an Iphone, Ipads don't have the wallet app. You can sign up for the Apple CC and see in the settings under wallet but you can't actually get the app on an Ipad. Pretty disappointing on apples part.
You can fully access the wallet on your iPad in settings (as you note). It should appear just under the settings for the App Store. If there’s a functional difference between the interface available in settings on the iPad vs the stand alone app on the iPhone, I’m not aware of it. Other than having the app icon, is there something the iPhone app has that is missing from iPad’s wallet? (Personally, I prefer the iPad wallet because it’s easier to see and read.
I have a savings account. They deposit your earning monthly though. For most banks the quoted yield is APY. APY stands for "Annual Percentage Yield" which is a percentage that reflects the amount of money, or interest, you earn on money in a bank account over one year
I had the same issue. You have to have the latest firmware to access it. Also I had to restart the phone once or twice to see the option. It's in your Apple Credit card tab.
I didn’t like how high the apr was on the apple card. I have pretty good credit and it was still crazy high. I know you shouldn’t carry a balance but sometimes things happen.
My Amazon Prime (Chase) card is 24.24% APR, Apple is 15.74%. I have a $9600 limit with Chase, and $11,500 with Apple. I have a couple of other store cards that I only got because they had a good deal if I signed up. I made the 1 purchase, paid it off and the cards sit in a drawer. I remember these also had ridiculous APR's. My credit score is 795 with TransUnion and 811 with Equifax, 789 with Experian, not too shabby. I'm not sure where these card companies are getting their interest rates. Of the cards I have, Apple is the best rate. Fortunately, I only use my cards for the rewards, so I pay them off weekly and the interest rates don't matter to me.

Any that are as high or higher yield.

Thanks for this…I wondered if you know whether QBO can add Apple Card

Thank you for the walkthrough. I had no issues. 4.15% is a lot better than 0.

4.15% is a "high-yield" rate, better than some CDs and is FDIC insured
Robinhood is paying 5% yield at the moment for uninvested money. They also have Card you can use.

Thank you for commenting!
Very clean explanation ty. Can you do a review on the fidelity credit card? And how it works.
Clear and concise, thanks for the video. I believe they charge a percentage if you move the money to another bank.
If Apple was really smart they would raise cash back percentages. Apple products 4%, apple pay 3%, and apple card 2%. This is what I want Apple to do.
That would be great!
I know. The apple physical card is the most pointless card. Might as well use cash or debit card instead.

Yup! definatly sharing this vid. Nice work and love the beard!

I just can’t seem to find out if I have to report the savings to the IRS, or if that’s done automatically (which is why they ask for SSN)
Yes, you would need to report the interest you earn on the savings account with your tax return.

Is apple saving better then the acorn investing ? New here

Surprised you did not discuss Goldman’s role. It seems like Apple is just the marketer?
That's how I see it, too, but there wasn't much disclosed about how exactly they're working together, and I didn't want to guess.
Can’t seem to use my Apple savings account as a source of payment to pay my Apple credit card. Bizarre, just like you have to call customer service to link an external bank. I’ll just initiate money out of my account from my external bank until Apple figures this out.
I’ve transferred to Apple savings for 5 days now. I still haven’t acquired any interest yet, does Apple take a long time to process or something?
Interest that you earn is compounded daily and credited to your Savings account monthly.
The APY is 4.50% now
Very Good

You can fully access the wallet on your iPad in settings (as you note). It should appear just under the settings for the App Store. If there’s a functional difference between the interface available in settings on the iPad vs the stand alone app on the iPhone, I’m not aware of it.
Other than having the app icon, is there something the iPhone app has that is missing from iPad’s wallet? (Personally, I prefer the iPad wallet because it’s easier to see and read.
@@MarcosElMalo2 I have both iPad and iPhone. You can see the wallet on Ipad but I don't see my Apple Savings on my iPad.
Is that 4.15% deposited monthly? So if I deposit $100, I would have $104.15 at the end of the month and so on?
No, that is 4.15% for the full year, so you would get about 1/12 that amount each month.
I have a savings account. They deposit your earning monthly though. For most banks the quoted yield is APY. APY stands for "Annual Percentage Yield" which is a percentage that reflects the amount of money, or interest, you earn on money in a bank account over one year
Is that 4% paid out every month ?
Interest that you earn is compounded daily and credited to your Savings account monthly
@@TheBestWill so does the compound end up being 4.15% at the end of every month or does the year end up being 4.15%
@@williamllambelis3254 The year ends up being 4.15%.
Hey this was a nice breakdown. I appreciate the work you put into this video!
Thanks you, much appreciated!
For some reason savings doesn’t show as an option in Daily Cash. I do have the Apple Card
Same here
Update to 4.1
I had the same issue. You have to have the latest firmware to access it. Also I had to restart the phone once or twice to see the option. It's in your Apple Credit card tab.
Thank you all for buying Apple (financial) products. My Apple stock is yielding nice profits!
Nice brothers 👍🇮🇩
Its been 2 weeks and I am still under review. They wont let me deposit or do anything with it yet. Can anyone say why?
I agree, that seems too long.
So you’re basically getting cash back on your cash back? Smart
Exactly!
I didn’t like how high the apr was on the apple card. I have pretty good credit and it was still crazy high. I know you shouldn’t carry a balance but sometimes things happen.
Good point, thanks for highlighting that!
Most people buy with financing and then the interest is moot. Pay it off monthly
My Amazon Prime (Chase) card is 24.24% APR, Apple is 15.74%. I have a $9600 limit with Chase, and $11,500 with Apple. I have a couple of other store cards that I only got because they had a good deal if I signed up. I made the 1 purchase, paid it off and the cards sit in a drawer. I remember these also had ridiculous APR's.
My credit score is 795 with TransUnion and 811 with Equifax, 789 with Experian, not too shabby. I'm not sure where these card companies are getting their interest rates. Of the cards I have, Apple is the best rate.
Fortunately, I only use my cards for the rewards, so I pay them off weekly and the interest rates don't matter to me.
