The card uses the iPhone as the security dongle. The bill gets paid, I save the receipt using the macOS "Print To PDF" feature, and I accept the scheduled transaction in Banktivity.Įnter the Apple Card. I pay all of our bills through the various billers' websites. Doing this all on a proper computer, not a phone, lets me have more than one application window open and visible simultaneously. I use Banktivity to keep this all straight. We also have the usual utility bills to pay, and the other expenses incurred from just living. Like many middle-aged families, we have quite a few accounts, from bank accounts we had prior to getting married, credit cards, the mortgage, maybe a car loan, and our retirement/investment accounts. My wife is quite happy to let me deal with this. In many relationships, one partner handles the mundane (but important) accounting task. What does doing it on a website have to do with anything? You can view purchases, you can pay your bill, you can view and print statements, ALL online on your iPhone.

You can do all those things with the Apple Card. I'm hoping more information and financial management functionality is forthcoming. I realize there are security concerns but believe this is very short-sighted and should not have been overlooked during the development phase of the Apple Card. Without some kind of financial integration or management functionality, Apple has created yet another " Financial Silo of Excellence” that does not integrate well with existing financial management solutions. I was told this Quicken service is not available for Apple Card and, furthermore, there are no provisions for Apple Card customers to login to the Goldman Site and download Apple Card transactions manually, once hard credentials are provided like account number, etc. I recently accepted the Apple Card invitation and contacted Help/Goldman Sachs to see if they support Direct Connect functionality in Intuit’s Quicken for Mac financial management software (as provided for other "conventional" Goldman Sachs card holders). I didn't see a topic or community set up for Apple Card yet so I'm starting this thread on Apple Pay, somewhat related, just to get the discussion rolling.
