On January 7, Apple announced that JPMorgan Chase will replace Goldman Sachs as the issuer of the Apple Card credit card.

What changes?

For cardholders, nothing changes for now. The card stays on the Mastercard network and new customers can still apply. The full transition could take up to 24 months.

The numbers

  • JPMorgan says the deal brings more than $20 billion in card balances to Chase
  • The Wall Street Journal reports Goldman is offloading them at a $1 billion discount
  • Goldman expects a $2.2 billion credit-loss provision in Q4 2025 tied to the deal
