APPLE STEPS INTO THE CREDIT CARD WORLD WITH ITS NEWLY FEATURED APPLE CARD!!

Apple has recently featured its latest creation- ‘Apple Card’ at the company’s live presentation in Cupertino, California.  The card has been created in association with MasterCard and Goldman Sachs and will be integrated inside the Apple Pay service. It is going to launch in the US during the summer season.

 

A brief insight into the Apple Card

The card is basically a new credit card but instead of being owned by banks, this product belongs exclusively to Apple. The card will be having a simple layout with just your name printed at the top part along with a security chip and nothing on the back. There will be no 16 digit card number, date of expiry or CVV number which you generally have in traditional debit and credit cards.

As a result, the security of the card is very high and the minimum details on the card make it less susceptible to fraudulent transactions.  The card will be integrated into the Apple Pay platform for instant payment and will also give you cash back for each transaction.

How Apple Card Works

  • You need to sign up in your Apple Pay services to use the card.
  • Whatever transactions you make with the card, gets a dedicated color for each category like Entertainment, Shopping, Food and Drinks with the total amount spent for each.
  • For each transaction, Apple will send one time “dynamic security code” just like “OTP” sent by banks.
  • The dynamic Apple Card does not require users to enter their card number and other details to the online platform for the transactions and hence gives you full security from online frauds.
