Apple Card alternative identification

Normally for any credit cards there are always ways for people who do not have SSNs (non-resident aliens) to go in the bank in-person to apply for the credit card. Obviously this is not possible with the Apple Card so I was just wondering if there are any ways for someone who do not have a SSN to apply for one?

Unfortunately no, the Goldman Sachs issued Apple Mastercard is only done thru a soft pull of your credit using your SSN.

That's the only way the the Apple Card differs - they don't do a hard pull first they give you an offer (credit line & interest rate) and then when you accept, they do a hard pull from TU.


You can look at getting financing thru other card companies that have a local bank you can approach.
