Apple, Goldman Sachs fined over  million for Apple Card failures

The recent news broke out as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ordered tech giant Apple and investment bank Goldman Sachs to pay over $89 million for mishandling consumer disputes related to Apple Card transactions. The bureau revealed that Apple failed to forward tens of thousands of consumer disputes to Goldman Sachs, and even when the bank did receive disputes, it failed to comply with federal requirements during investigations.

Goldman Sachs was slapped with a $45 million civil penalty and $19.8 million in redress, while Apple was fined $25 million. Additionally, the bureau banned Goldman Sachs from launching new credit cards unless they can demonstrate compliance with the law. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra emphasized that both companies must adhere to federal regulations and should not believe they are above the law.

Apple Card was initially introduced in 2019 as a credit card alternative integrated with Apple Pay, the company’s digital wallet service. Partnering with Goldman Sachs as the issuing bank, Apple marketed the card as a straightforward and transparent credit card option. However, the CFPB discovered discrepancies in the interest-free payment plans for Apple devices financed through the card. Many customers were misled into believing they would receive automatic interest-free monthly payments, leading to unexpected interest charges. Some consumers also encountered issues with their credit reports due to these inaccuracies.

In response to the findings, a Goldman Sachs spokesperson stated that they had addressed the technological and operational challenges post-launch and resolved them with impacted customers. They expressed pride in collaborating with Apple to develop an innovative and award-winning product. Apple, on the other hand, mentioned working closely with Goldman Sachs to rectify the issues upon discovery.

Despite their disagreements with the CFPB’s assessment of their conduct, both companies have agreed to the terms set forth by the bureau. They expressed their commitment to providing a positive experience for Apple Card customers moving forward.

In conclusion, the regulatory actions taken against Apple and Goldman Sachs serve as a reminder that even tech giants and financial institutions must abide by federal laws and regulations. Transparency and compliance are essential in ensuring a fair and consumer-friendly financial environment.
