Apple May Soon Launch a Credit Card with Goldman Sachs: Report

Apple has reportedly partnered with investment bank Goldman Sachs and might release a credit card next year, a media report said.

A report in Wall Street Journal claimed that the new credit card — which marks the end of Apple's credit card partnership with Barclays — would use the Apple Pay branding.

Goldman Sachs would also offer in-store loans to Apple customers, the report said.

The move follows Goldman Sachs acquisition of the team behind Final, a credit card startup. Final's dozen employees later joined Goldman's new Consumer and Commercial Banking division.
