Since you were just approved for Apple Card it may be a day or two for services to update. Have you followed the steps below to apply for the savings account?

It has been over 7 business days and I still have not received an email that my account has been verified and therefore I cannot use my apple savings account. I called multiple times to talk to a savings account specialist and no one can give me a straight answer, they keep telling me that “it can take seven business days or longer”. So I am not getting a clear answer on how long it will take to open the account, and also they told me I am not allowed to cancel my application either..


my apple credit card is available and is in use, I am receiving cash back in my Daily Cash, and I even received my first billing statement from apple with still no sight as to when this account will be open. I have followed all of the steps needed to open the savings account and there is no reason why it should be taking this long. How long will I have to wait to get this fixed?
