Apple Taps JPMorgan Chase to Replace Goldman Sachs as Apple Card Issuer

Apple says the two-year handover will not require customer action or alter core card features.

Overview

  • Apple and Chase confirmed the agreement, with account migration expected in approximately 24 months and no reapplication required for existing users.
  • Mastercard remains the payment network as Wallet-based management, Daily Cash rewards, and the card’s no-fee structure continue during the transition.
  • Goldman Sachs will sell roughly $20 billion in Apple Card loans at a discount of more than $1 billion, a rare markdown for co-branded portfolios.
  • JPMorgan will record a $2.2 billion provision for credit losses tied to the portfolio as it prepares to assume issuing responsibilities.
  • Chase plans a new Apple-branded savings account, while customers with existing Goldman-managed Apple savings can choose to remain or open an account with Chase.
