vs. Apple Inc.

On October 23, 2024, the Bureau issued an order against Apple Inc. In December 2017 Apple and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Goldman) entered an agreement to offer Apple Card, a credit card integrated with Apple software that offers both market-rate APRs and interest-free financing for qualifying Apple products. Goldman agreed to extend the credit offered through Apple Card and to investigate disputes submitted by consumers. Apple designed the consumer-facing interfaces that consumers used to manage Apple Card accounts on Apple devices, including the functions that allowed consumers to dispute Apple Card transactions, and developed the creative approach and design of Apple Card advertisements. The Bureau found that Apple violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 by failing to send transaction disputes to Goldman and in relation to its enrollment practices for Apple Card Monthly Installments. The order required Apple to pay a $25 million civil money penalty and to come into compliance with the law.
