Some of your items will be automatically taken from your Apple ID. You need to enter your last name, address, etc. Goldman Sachs will check your credit history through TransUnion. If you locked your TransUnion data, you will need to open it. The application will be checked almost immediately.
Step 3: Whether you will be given an Apple Card depends on your credit history. If your application is approved, you can accept the card or refuse it.
The annual percentage of your Card depends on your credit history. There is no need to pay for a card.
