Apple has introduced a new web portal to manage your Apple Card credit card (which includes paying bills, viewing current balance, and viewing past account statements), making the overall experience less dependent on an iPhone or iPad, through AppleInsider.
Previously, the only way to manage an Apple Card required having an iOS device compatible with the Wallet application installed, which made access much less easy than a traditional credit card (almost all offer web portals to pay bills and check balances).
However, the new web portal (naturally located at card.apple.com) doesn’t completely eliminate the need for an iPhone or iPad – you’ll still need to have one of Apple’s devices to apply for the Apple Card, which means that Despite the web portal, it is still effectively blocked only for Apple customers.
The Apple Card was announced in April 2019 as part of Apple’s biggest push in the service industry. Backed by Goldman Sachs, it offers a number of benefits designed to facilitate purchases from online providers and compatibility with the company’s Apple Pay system. It also offers a physical titanium card and a 3 percent refund on any purchase made from Apple, 2 percent on Apple Pay transactions, and 1 percent on purchases made with the regular card.
