    I feel like this would represent a strategy shift for Apple. It’s no secret Apple Card has been easy to get (arguably too easy from the perspective of an issuing bank) which is incompatible with Chase’s standards. Wondering if this is Apple or Chase in talks and testing the waters with a leak to see what response is.

    I’d selfishly like to see Amex taking over the card but that’d be pretty unlikely because of probable Mastercard exclusivity, relative lack of international popularity on Amex’s end, and it being a pretty bad business decision right now.

    Chase can eat my ass. They bought WaMu and then charged me to use my own debit card.

    Now every bank does it, but good lord I hate that bank. Chase is what you do to them, away.

    At this point, Apple needs to start a bank under their parent company and just use that

    I’m no economist but is this not an option? They’re one of the largest companies in the world, surely they can figure it out if seats at one point did

    Sounds like a good time to stop using credit cards, go back to a more cash friendly time where I bought and shopped all local.

    I think it goes to Bank of America or Chase. BofA could be helpful because this card is already a mastercard right?

    I’m not sure how Chase is in the US other than probably more popular but their fairly recent launch in the UK has been great. I like the cashback and for better or for worse luckily max it out most months.

    I think the only reason I haven’t moved everything into Chase is hassle of moving everything and there is a slight sentimental feeling towards my Barclays account as it was the first account I had since I moved to the UK many years ago.

    it’s a dumb reason to cling onto the Barclays account but it is what it is.

    I’m cancelling my card if they move to Chase. Never ever had good luck with them. I know a lot of people have but idk they’ve always let me down/been underwhelming. Honestly Apple has enough money to open a banking side but there are probably some legal reasons they cant.

    They should just stop pretending and make a bank and their own credit card company outright. They’re already there.
