You can also issue a physical titanium card - it is without a number, CVV code, expiration date and other usual information.

You can pay for purchases wherever the Apple Pay service works. At the same time, the company promises not to take any commissions, reduce interest rates and “penalize” for late payments.

Moreover, the Daily Cash cashback system will operate: 1% when paying with a physical card, 2% using Apple Pay and 3% for purchases at Apple stores.

And through the application, you can not only see the balance, but also track purchases and manage finances using AI: the system can group costs into categories, make charts and graphs.

Apple Card will start to make out in the summer.
