Why Apple's Savings Account is Turning Heads: $1 Billion Deposited in 4 Days?
Apple's entry into fintech with its mobile payment platform, Apple Pay, has already been a success. But the introduction of its new savings account, backed by Goldman Sachs, is taking things to the next level. According to a report from Forbes, users deposited nearly $1 billion in just four days after the launch of the savings account. This new offering is proving to be a major hit with users, with 240,000 accounts signed up for the service in less than a week.
The popularity of Apple's new savings account can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the savings account offers a 4.15% annual interest rate, which is much higher than the national average rate of just 0.24%, according to Bankrate. Secondly, the account's daily cash rewards are automatically applied to the savings account rather than users' Apple cash prepaid cards, making it an easy and convenient way for users to save money. Finally, Apple's brand power and the wide proliferation of iPhones are also likely contributors to the success of this new offering.
It's clear that Apple has positioned itself as a major fintech player with this new savings account. While parts of Apple's laptop business haven't been performing well in 2023, the company's success with the savings account is a major win. However, the account is geared specifically toward diehard Apple users, and users must own an iPhone with iOS 12.4 or later and an Apple ID in good standing to be eligible. Additionally, user's total APR heavily depends on their credit history, varying from around 16% to 27%.
Apple's new savings account is a major success, and it will be interesting to see how the company continues to innovate in the fintech space. As Apple continues to grow and expand its offerings, it's clear that the company has learned the importance of being both a banker and a player in the game.
