It’s confirmed that the partnership between Apple and Goldman Sachs will come to an end next year, as announced. Like with any termination of such affiliation deals, there are risks for both parties involved. For Apple, there might be a turnover of credit card customers who are unwilling to undergo the hassle of changing cards and account numbers. Additionally, there was a certain prestige associated with having a Goldman Sachs credit card account, which will be lost post-termination. On the other hand, Goldman Sachs stands to lose millions of potential customers to whom they could have cross-sold other financial services, along with a steady stream of interchange fee income from credit card usage. However, considering the size and diversity of their revenue streams, the impact of this loss is expected to be manageable for both companies.
