What Credit Score is Needed for Apple Card

It is hard to get the Apple Card because it requires at least good credit for approval. Unless your credit score is 700 or higher and you have a lot of income, it will be difficult for you to get approved for the Apple Card.

There are multiple FICO Score versions available for lenders to use. Apple Card uses FICO Score 9. FICO Score 9 ranges from 300 to 850, with scores above 660 considered favorable for credit approval.

When you apply for a credit card, your FICO score is typically a key factor used to show lenders how reliably you manage your credit. It combines data about your payment history, current debts, the length of your credit history, any new credit accounts, and the various types of credit you’ve used.

Requirements to get Apple Card

To get Apple Card, you must meet these requirements:

  • Be 18 years or older, depending on where you live.
  • Be a U.S. citizen or a lawful U.S. resident with a U.S. residential address that isn’t a P.O. Box. You can also use a military address.
  • Use two-factor authentication with your Apple ID.
  • Sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID.
  • If you have a freeze on your credit report, you need to temporarily lift the freeze before you apply for Apple Card.
  • You might need to verify your identity with a Driver license or State-issued Photo ID.
