Sign ups are live. In the wallet app, select your Apple Card, go to the top right menu and hit Apple Cash, and change redemption to savings. Enter your social and you're done.

The account is backed by Goldman Sachs - a bank.

Can you transfer money from Apple Cash to Apple Savings? Or do I have to go Apple Cash -> my bank -> Apple Savings?
Apple's website says you can transfer straight from Apple Cash into Savings.

But how else are you going to pay for the Apple VR / AR headset when it comes out?

On a seriously note, I'm tempted to apply for Apple Card and get a savings account since most CDs don't have as good interest.
the question is , is the savings rate locked in or Apple would change it to 1% after they meet their numbers?

That was during the banking crisis, last I checked that CD is down to about 4.35 or 4.25 now on ALLY. For that small of a difference, not sure I'd mess with a CD, even a no penalty, as I don't believe you can withdraw just a portion of it, all or nothing. Unlike having competing MM rates that are liquid, you can move funds around as you wish and still have the account open/viable to move funds into at such time their rates are better than Bank B.
I agree that I wouldn't bother to mess with it, if the difference is that small these days.

You're also correct that you can not withdraw just a portion of a CD. You would have to close the entire CD. I opened up multiple CDs, which was one way to protect myself, in case I needed to withdraw unexpectedly. I can just close one of them, while leaving the others open.

I also agree with your last option. I just have multiple accounts in various banks and they're all linked, so it's easy to just move money from A to B whenever needed, if the rates at bank B are much better than A for example. And vice versa of course.

Too bad the card is not too useful.
The card is actually really convienient if you're invested in the Apple ecosystem. The accounting of the card is built into the OS, so paying for things and keeping track of expenses is very convenient.

I'm more of a Google Pay guy, but I have an iPad and an Apple card. I love the notifications of upcoming charges for subscriptions, the ability to set up payments in Settings, and 3% on all Apple purchases, 2% on Apple pay, and 1% on anything else.

I meant in terms of benefits since buying Apple products directly from Apple doesn't get you much discount Wink

Apple is 10x more powerful than WeChat (TenCent).

Apple is the United States of America.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank qAnon20201231

IMHO, anyone that currently has the Apple Card should open up the Apple Savings. Here's why:

2% earned from Apple Card (via ApplePay) deposits into Apple Cash that earns no interest

With Apple Savings Account , the Apple Card 2% cash back gets deposited straight into Apple Savings earning 4.15% interest today as opposed to 0% in Apple Cash.

yes, opening multiple CD's is a good idea for 'rainy day' early redemption on a no-penalty.

the 3, 2, 1 cashback seems really poor.

So savings account is tied with an OS? If we don't upgrade iOS then we can't access the account? Lol

To add, my use case is their "Virtual Card Number" that i find valuable for all ONLINE payment transactions to websites that aren't top tier legit.

From start to finish cost me three whole minutes. I already had a card in wallet and bank account (USAA).

Note: I had an error the first time I tried. It went through the second time but went back to the cash screen. The third time it worked fine.
