How long did available balance take to update

How long does Apple Credit Card take to update balance after payment from checking account. The payment posted on Tuesday and it is Friday and my Available balance is still not reflecting the payment.

I do not recommend anyone get this card! After being on the phone with reps for over half an hr and being transferred to multiple departments I received an answer that it takes 7-10 days to reflect a payment into your account. The payment was immediately deducted from my account but would take 7-10 days to reflect on my Apple Card balance. Worse credit card and card service I have ever experienced. The only way for a payment to immediately reflect on your available balance is to put money on your Apple Cash then pay off your Apple Card with the funds from your Apple Cash. The most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced with a credit card; I already closed the account after a month, not dealing with that!

For me this all resolved after the first month. Initially it was 10 full days and I , also, was quite frustrated. You don't have the money in your bank nor do you have it as available credit on your card. However, within a month (and I made 3 payments during it) I now have instant credit for my payments applied. I love this card. Paying your bill takes 5 seconds from the wallet app Taptic touch on the home screen.

Payments are instant for me as well, however the time it takes for the available credit to update I do not know I’m still waiting. I’ve made three payments and the available amount of credit has not updated. It’s been seven days today. I also called and the response is several business days for the payment to reflect as available credit. 7 Days and Counting.

Welfever I tried your advice.... I called them Josh who is a GS representative and on the call he didn’t even look up my info to gather my account, (must get the same call a lot), and all he said was said, “it’s the two banks learning to talk to each other”. So I called my bank to see if they have the correct love language for GS, and sure enough they confirmed the $3,000 pulled on 10/3 and cleared all the way through to the GS account. I was even given a bank to bank transactions number. So still hopeful now with this new information, I called GS again... and this time they took my info to look up the account... confirmed they have money and my account has been credited... but it will take “serval days” to update in my available balance. It’s Tuesday and she said, ” maybe by Friday”


Apple please help? What is going on? Don’t say serval say ... say 10+ days so we can make a educated choice... I can’t believe GS is making money by this move... please fix this

Thanks for the response!

I just woke up about 30 minutes ago and Mine just posted today (Wednesday, 12/4). I paid last Wednesday (11/27) so mine was exactly 1 week/7 days. And yes, just like yours, that time period included the weekend and thanksgiving holiday but I agree. Online should be somewhat instant. Especially by the time the payment switches from “pending” to “completed” (which for me happened 10 hours after I hit “pay” and on the same day)

The first time I experienced the delay in payment posting to my available balance, Goldman Sachs told me it could take 3-4 days.

Now I am facing another delay and they are telling me it will be ~7 days. :-(((((

My bank tells me Goldman Sachs already has the money!!!

Others have reported 10+ days.

This is beyond ridiculous.

Tell me they're not "sitting on the money" so they can make interest off it for those 7-10 days they hang onto it?!?

I am filing a complaint with the SEC.

Same issue here. I made a payment on 10/1 and within seconds my available credit was updated. Made a payment yesterday, same account and everything, payment cleared at my bank today and the available credit hasn’t changed. As with everyone else, customer service keeps saying it takes “several days” for the payment to reflect in available credit which I find to be total bs. Every single credit card I’ve had—Chase, Capital One, Discover, Citi—reflects the proper available credit a day (at max) after payment was made even on weekends...
