THE APPLE CARD IS HERE
A NEW TAKE ON THE CREDIT-CARD FORMULA
When Apple announced Apple Pay back in 2014, it heralded the company’s first foray into the payments business. Fast-forward to March, at Apple’s ‘It’s Show Time’ event, and the Cupertino firm took yet another step, this time unveiling its own credit card, the Apple Card.

Apple also says that the card imposes low interest rates, although this will naturally depend on your credit score.
