How to export your Apple Card monthly transactions

Users are now able to export their Apple Card monthly transactions, allowing them to import the data into third-party financial management apps.

One of the biggest complaints that users of the Apple Cardhave had is that there's no way to import their transaction history into third-party money management apps, such as Mint. There's a reason for this— Apple's privacy policy. Apple is not too keen on third-party companies having access to your private financial data.

Starting January 21 with a gradual server-side rollout, Apple has a solution. While you still won't be able to give third-party apps direct access to your Apple Card transactions, you are able to manually export your transactions from the wallet app. Once exported, you can take that data wherever you'd like.

To export your Apple Card transaction data:

Open the Wallet app.
Tap Card Balance.
Tap your desired monthly statement.
Tap Export Transactions

How to export your Apple Card monthly transactions

Once exported, you'll have a CSV — comma separated value — file, which can be imported into most money management apps, such as Mint and Quicken. Of course, you could also import that list into Numbers or Excel, if you want to go truly old school.

The caveat is that you can only export transactions from a full month. However, for those who rely on apps such as Mint or Quicken to maintain their budgets, it makes a big difference. It also proves that Apple has taken customers' concerns seriously and is willing to work to improve their experience.

This is good news for some folks here at AI. I remember seeing comments of people upset that they were not able to export their Apple Card data into Quicken and the like. I really like this card.. just wish it would match the cash back % of some other cards. I would like to make this my only card, but the cashback isn't there yet. Hopefully that will change as the service matures.

About time....

It wasn't that you couldn't get the data, but it was previously only available as a PDF. My attempts to then cut and paste the data from those PDF's in Excel/Numbers didn't work (except for the first (beta) month). Which was infuriating.

You should be aware that the perks of "elite" cards are paid by someone -- in particular, the retailer whose product you purchased with the card (maybe you if the price is hiked because of the cost of the plastic). I spoke to one retailer and asked why they don't take American Express. He said he can't afford to pay for American Express customer's airline tickets.

If you have all your Apple devices configured properly, exporting your statement to your Mac drops it in your download folder without any interaction. Once there they open almost perfectly in Numbers (amount column isn't designated as currency but easy and quick fix).

Definitely.

I've posted about this before, but the number of middle-men in a credit card transaction is astonishing, and they all want part of the money changing hands. Merchant, terminal vendor, terminal network, card processor, card brand, issuing bank, backing bank ... The margins of any individual party between the merchant and the backing bank are razor-thin, so removing even one layer of middle-men can significantly improve profit or allow those margins to be redirected into things like cash back. For example, Walmart became their own credit card processor, which let them cut prices a tiny bit (or get a tiny bit more money where they didn't cut prices).

Otherwise, the rewards are paid pretty directly by the merchant. There's a reason nobody really offers more than about 2% without an annual membership fee.
He may be talking about the physical card, though. I certainly wish it had better cash back. Only 1% means I'm never going to use it unless my 2% card gets frozen due to fraud. With how nice the physical card is, that's a shame.

Would sure be great if Apple Card's existence got other companies to offer nicer physical cards instead of the same plastic ones we've all had for decades.
