Apple Card Savings Account's Balance Limit Increased to $1 Million

Goldman Sachs today increased the Apple Card savings account's balance limit to $1 million, with cardholders being notified by email.

apple card savings account feature
From the updated Apple Card cardholder agreement, effective March 1:

The maximum balance limit for your Account is $1,000,000, based on your Current Balance (including interest and Daily Cash deposits).

The account's previous balance limit was $250,000, which is the maximum amount that the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) would cover in the event that Goldman Sachs were to become insolvent. Any deposits above $250,000, up to the new $1 million limit, would not be covered by the FDIC in the event of bank failure.

Some other high-yield savings accounts in the U.S. offer balance limits above $250,000. For example, Goldman Sachs' other high-yield savings account Marcus allows a maximum balance of $1 million per account, up to a total of $3 million.

Apple launched its savings account in April 2023, in partnership with Goldman Sachs. The account can be opened and managed in the Wallet app on the iPhone, and it has no fees, no minimum deposits, and no minimum balance requirements. You must have an Apple Card, be a U.S. resident, and be at least 18 years old to open an account.

The account allows Apple Card holders to earn interest on their Daily Cash cashback balance, and on funds deposited via a linked bank account or an Apple Cash balance. Apple's savings account currently offers a 4.5% APY following an increase in late January.

To open a savings account in the Wallet app, tap on your Apple Card, tap on the circle with three dots at the top of the screen, tap Daily Cash, and select Set Up Savings.

Goldman Sachs reportedly plans to end its partnership with Apple, but it is unclear how this might impact the Apple Card and the savings account.

iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test. The results so far are quite surprising, as the C1's speeds are not as slow compared to Qualcomm modems as originally expected. While the C1 does not support ultra-fast mmWave 5G in the U.S., it appears to offer comparable 5G performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X71 modem found in the iPhone 16,...

Remember, the FDIC insurance limit is $250K per depositor at a given institution. If you care about this insurance, never put more than $250K in one account. You can have multiple fully insured accounts at a single institution, as long as the name (or combination of names) differ.

This nonsense is worthless when shtf. When the bank run happens, no one is going to be covering deposits
But bank runs did happen. It just happened. It hasn’t even been a full-year yet since it happened.

But annyway: Bank runs did happen in 2023. And all FDIC insured deposits were covered. Heck, even some of the non-insured deposits over the FDIC limit ended up being covered as well.

The FDIC insurance worked. It worked so well that you seemingly never noticed (or have since forgotten) that all of this happened less than 12 months ago, lol.

Fun fact: with $1m in your account you get enough interest every 29 days or so to buy an Apple Vision Pro.



Fixed typo: 29 days not 20 days.
