When to enroll in a payment assistance plan
If you're having difficulty making payments, enrolling in a payment assistance plan can help to prevent your Apple Card account from becoming, or going further, past due. If your account goes past due, you will pay more in interest and it will take longer to pay off your balance.
Goldman Sachs Bank USA may report information about your account to the credit reporting bureaus. Enrollment in a payment assistance plan, late payments, missed payments, and defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
What to expect after enrolling in a payment assistance plan
A confirmation email with program details is sent to the email address associated with your Apple ID.* To remain enrolled in a payment assistance plan, continue to make the agreed upon payments as decribed during plan enrollment and in your confirmation email.
You can also set up scheduled payments in the Wallet app to make sure that you never miss a payment. You can also contact an Apple Card Specialist to make a one-time payment.
* Enrollment communication may be sent by mail if we aren't able to reach you by email.
