Apple Card Users Can Breathe a Sigh of Relief as Chase Takes Over Credit Card Operations.
In a move that has ended months of speculation, Apple announced on Wednesday evening that JPMorgan Chase will become the new issuer of Apple Card, replacing Goldman Sachs. The transition is scheduled to take place two years from now and won't significantly impact users in the near term. Apple Card enthusiasts can continue to enjoy its award-winning experience, which includes unlimited Daily Cash back, family plans, savings accounts, and more.
Although Chase's takeover comes at a cost of over $1 billion, reflecting "high exposure to subprime borrowers" and a higher-than-industry-average delinquency rate, current account holders will have the option to switch to Chase's new savings account program. Meanwhile, Mastercard will remain the payment network for Apple Card.
While some may be concerned about changes to their physical cards or card information, according to Apple's FAQ, these aspects will remain unchanged until closer to the transition date. So, users can rest easy knowing that the familiar experience of Apple Card is here to stay – at least for now.
