I feel somewhat confused; my current Wells Fargo saving account APY is 0.01% where did I go wrong? Seems like I might be shifting my money to a new home. Edit: In the very least it will educate many uninformed folks like myself they are getting shafted at their current banks. Double edit: Thank you for all the helpful links and information!

You probably didn’t bother to change it when interest rates rose.

Why does this pay more interest than Marcus?

Yeah was curious about this too. From the article:

> Starting today, Apple Card users can choose to grow their Daily Cash rewards with a Savings account from Goldman Sachs, which offers a high-yield APY of 4.15 percent

Meanwhile, Marcus by Goldman Sachs just bumped their APY to 3.9%.

It is interesting that there is no direct deposit requirement for this account. Most traditional (Truist, BofA) and competitor banks (Sofi) offer incentives to encourage direct deposit for the end users. I wonder what other strategies Apple will be using to drive deposits in lieu of this. It is also in Apple's best interest to drive deposits, as most of these agreements end up with the bank (GS) and the provider (App…

>I wonder what other strategies Apple will be using to drive deposits in lieu of this. Their cult following takes care of that honestly

How many of you got the card just to have a titanium Apple card, and never used it, or was that just me?

The 2% back on all touchless/apply pay integrations is what sold it for me.

I got hooked on Apple Card when my other Visa got suddenly suspended after I made a legit purchase abroad, and I was in a store and I had the Apple Card up and running in less than 1 minute on my iPhone. Really changed my perception of how the credit card experience should work.
