But when you consider how we use our phones today, it’s no wonder Apple wants to get into the banking business. We tap to pay, why not do it with an Apple Card instead of a Visa or MasterCard? It’s a natural extension to start offering banking services too. If you’re an Apple customer, you can earn a higher yield on your savings too. Apple originally teamed up with Goldman Sachs to bring customers the Apple High-Yield Savings Account, which pays above-average interest on your savings.
