PocketGuard App has launched its integration with Apple Wallet. This update allows users to sync their Apple Card, Apple Cash, and savings from Apple Card accounts directly within the PocketGuard app. This new feature offers great convenience and a seamless financial tracking experience for the users. This means you’ll also be able to track and control your Apple Card account via our app.
4 Key Benefits of Using an Apple Wallet
There are real advantages in using the Apple Wallet, especially if you tend to make a lot of cashless transactions in your daily life. You can’t argue with 12 million users after all and these are just some of the reasons why many of our customers are Apple Wallet enthusiasts.
- It’s the king of cashback. Apple Cards holders can get 3% cash back on purchases made through Apple and at selected retailers like Nike. Additionally, the card offers 2% back on Apple Pay transactions made with non-selected retailers and 1% back on purchases made using its physical card.
- You can build up your credit as part of a family unit because children, young adults, and partners can be added to your Apple Wallet. When they turn 18 they are given the option of being able to build their own credit history while still being part of the Apple Wallet family.
- There are no hidden fees – if you inadvertently forget to make a payment or wish to use your card overseas then you are covered. There are no annual, late, or international transaction penalties, though you’ll still be charged interest for missed payments.
- Apple Card is backed by Mastercard – which equals widespread acceptance together with privacy and security. This is really important as Mastercard is one of the world’s leading payment systems along with Visa, so as long as you have the right transaction information you’ll never have a payment declined or find yourself caught short, regardless of where you are.
Apple Card is one of the most important payment systems in the United States, and with over 12 million users, we’ve often had feedback from existing and potential clients asking for it to be integrated into PocketGuard. We’ve been working on this for some time, and it is our pleasure to now be able to include Apple Card as part of our standard service. We know that the Apple Wallet and Apple Card fans among you are going to really love this new update, so let’s show you how it works.
