After completing the transaction, Smyth took the $200,000 he held on his Apple Card and transferred it to American Express. That way, even if he loses the annual return, he can access his money in seconds…<\/p>\n<p>Apple has not yet commented on the case, but Goldman Sachs has stressed that some kind of security check is necessary for such large sums. Still, the two firms might have expected that wealthier users (who can then afford Apple products) would start using the service because of the lucrative returns.
