Apple’s new savings account draws nearly $1 billion in deposits in first four days. On the first day of launch, Apple gained nearly $400 million in deposits.

4 mai 2023

Apple’s freshly launched high yield savings account brought in as much as $990 million in deposits over its first four days, according to Forbes. On launch day alone, the savings account drew nearly $400 million deposits.

The account’s eye-catching 4.15% annual return, plus the ubiquity of iPhones, is likely the main driver for account openings, especially when the average bank is paying less than half a percent. By the end of launch week, roughly 240,000 accounts had been opened, one source adds. The account is offered through a partnership with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. 


______________

The new savings account is only available to holders of Apple’s credit card, Apple Card. Clients can open a savings account in less than one minute directly from their iPhone. Apple Card spend rewards, called daily cash, are automatically directed into the high yield account.
