9tomac reported that Goldman Sachs suffered huge losses on Apple Card, and an unnamed Goldman Sachs executive said: “We should not have signed the relevant contract, this was a mistake.”
Goldman Sachs regrets the entire Apple Card partnership. As of January this year, Goldman Sachs has lost more than $1 billion due to this business (currently about RMB 7.31 billion).
It is reported that Goldman Sachs has historically made profits by providing financial services to companies, financial institutions and governments. Goldman Sachs’ cooperation with Apple to launch Apple Card was its first step into the consumer loan business, but this step was not successful. Even Goldman Sachs has been trying to exit the consumer lending business for much of this year.

Goldman Sachs has been trying to get out of the Apple Card partnership, but so far without success. Goldman Sachs has reportedly been in discussions with American Express (Amex) for some time, but nothing has come to fruition.
Foreign media believe that American Express has a strong own brand, so it is unlikely to accept Apple-branded products.
In addition, the current millions of dollars in savings accounts of Apple Card cardholders make it more difficult for Goldman Sachs to get rid of related businesses, because these funds have been invested, and Goldman Sachs has to raise corresponding cash before handing the business to other companies.

Foreign media claimed that another potential exit plan proposed internally by Goldman Sachs is to hope that “Apple will be able to fully take over the company in the form of cash in the future,” thus causing Goldman Sachs to withdraw.
Goldman Sachs employees involved in the Apple collaboration have also suggested other options, including having Apple bear a larger share of the costs of the partnership. For example, “Apple could become the lender for new credit card spending and issuance, while Goldman Sachs continues to manage existing loans.”
However, the idea doesn’t appear to have gained any traction within either company, with reports saying it’s not under active consideration and has not been discussed among Goldman Sachs and Apple executives.
Foreign media claim that the differences between Goldman Sachs and Apple are increasing. The main problem currently exacerbating Goldman Sachs and Apple Card is that Goldman Sachs is being investigated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because the company did not “resolve the error in a timely manner” and return the card. people’s money.
Goldman Sachs is blaming Apple for creating huge spikes in customer service reps because the Apple Card is designed so that “all cardholders are billed on the same date.”
However, foreign media believe that Goldman Sachs agreed to this arrangement at the beginning, and why it initially used this design is still unclear, but this “shows that this is indeed the first time that Goldman Sachs has entered the field of consumer lending, so it lacks Sufficient experience”.
