Apple Card Savings Account's Interest Rate Lowered

In the United States, the Apple Card offers a high-yield savings account option, allowing you to earn far more interest on your money compared to the average bank's basic savings account. However, the account's interest rate was lowered this week, with the annual percentage yield (APY) dropping from 3.9% to 3.75%.

Apple launched its savings account in April 2023, in partnership with Goldman Sachs. The account can be opened and managed in the Wallet app on the iPhone, and it has no fees, no minimum deposits, and no minimum balance requirements. You must have an Apple Card, be a U.S. resident, and be at least 18 years old to open an account.

The account allows Apple Card holders to earn interest on their Daily Cash cashback balance, and on funds deposited via a linked bank account or an Apple Cash balance. The maximum balance allowed is $1 million, up from $250,000 previously.

When the account launched, Apple and Goldman Sachs offered an APY of 4.15%, but the rate has fluctuated, often in line with U.S. Federal Reserve benchmark rate changes. The APY peaked at 4.5% in early 2024, and the current 3.75% is an all-time low.

To open a savings account in the Wallet app, tap on your Apple Card, tap on the circle with three dots in it, tap Daily Cash, and select Set Up next to Savings.

Goldman Sachs may end its consumer lending partnership with Apple early, but it is unclear if this will have any impact on Apple Card holders. According to recent reports, there are at least three companies in the running to replace Goldman Sachs as the Apple Card's financial partner, including Barclays, Synchrony, and JPMorgan Chase.

Apple has become the most boring, predictable, and declining company over the last five years. It’s like Netscape—no ambition, no ‘wow’ moments, and taking every opportunity to screw over its users, even with its credit card and savings account. Such a stale company.
Just say you don't understand economics. Screw over its users? All rates are going down lol

Maybe it's time to call it "kinda ok yield" instead of "high-yield".

Still 375 times higher than the rate at Chase. I don’t like to see the rates dropping, but Apple Savings is an easy place to park my cash back rewards so I’ll stick with it for now.

I mean, this has little-to-nothing to do with Apple here. Goldman Sachs is the financial institution that holds & services these accounts and rates have lowered across the board. You’re yelling at Chevy because your state taxes went up on your vehicle.

This unfortunately doesn't keep up with inflation :(.

You pretty much have to invest money to stay afloat.
