[reposting dormant thread from January]
I want to use YNAB to budget but my apple card won't sync. Yes, I get how CSV files work, but I can auto-sync Apple Card to Mint, but I can't sync it to YNAB or Personal Capital. Why is Apple the only "bank" that doesn't play well with other finance software?
You raise a valid concern about the robust security standards within the financial industry and the apparent reluctance of Goldman Sachs to align with these standards for broader integration. It's quite surprising a storied bank like Goldman Sachs and an iconic brand like Apple refuse to play nice with popular personal finance tools.
It does seem unusual that they may have opted for a bespoke implementation with Apple while disregarding other widely-used financial management software like YNAB. Your insights are appreciated.
Apple states that every feedback submission is read by them but they will not respond back.
Now for some history.
First, Goldman Sachs Bank has always been a corporate investment bank. Until the release of the Apple Card they had NEVER touched the consumer credit market. So your quip about not playing well with financial software is a bit out of place. They don’t play well at all.
Second, since the introduction of the Apple Card users have been grousing and upset that it does not connect to financial software like Quicken or other packages like you mention. It’s likely thousands of Feedbacks have been sent already demanding a change. Two years on there’s no change. It is now clearly apparent that Apple/Goldman Sachs has no intention of allowing such connections.
So either live with it or cancel your Apple Card in protest. You’re a bit late to the protesting as this has been going on for years now by other users, myself included. I have chosen to live with it.
Goldman likely sees the connections as a security issue. If you have feedback, visit apple.com/feedback
Can you please also confirm, from your personal experience, if apple.com/feedback actually works? Thank you.
That’s the mechanism to provide feedback to Apple.
I don't think it works or there is no verified source that states it does. It's like writing to your MP in Lok Sabha and expecting them to do something about your issue.
Thank you for your response.
Dear Goldman Sachs, PLEASE support Apple Card sync with YNAB
