Apple is partnering with Goldman Sachs and Mastercard for the new Apple Card, and it will be able to be used around the world.
If customers have issues with the card, they’ll be able to contact Apple Card support through the Messages app — Apple says support will be available 24/7 via text.
Apple Card will be built into the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone. People who are familiar with Apple Pay should find it to be a similar app experience — the card, which is a nice rainbow gradient, will show up at the top of the app.
