  • The Apple Card in the United States offers a high-yield savings account option, with the interest rate recently dropping from 3.75% to 3.65%.
  • When compared to other popular high-yield savings accounts, the Apple Card's interest rate of 3.65% puts it in alignment with some competitors like Marcus by Goldman Sachs and just above Ally, Discover, and American Express.
  • The account has no fees, no minimum deposits, and no minimum balance requirements. Apple Card holders can earn interest on their Daily Cash cashback balance as well as funds from a linked bank account or Apple Cash balance.
