Apple has acknowledged that an Apple Cardoutage could be causing problems for users on the day that the card's bills are due.
Apple Card
Holders of the Apple Card began reporting issues with accessing their Apple Card management options on Monday morning. Users report being met with an "account services unavailable" dialog box when attempting to pay their bills.
According to Apple's system status page, an issue with Apple Card services may cause issues when adding Apple Card to Wallet, paying a bill, or applying for the Goldman Sachs-backed credit card.
The issue has been ongoing since 9:26 a.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 31, Apple's system status page indicates. There's no word on when the issue might be resolved. Apple Card payments are due on the last day of the month.
Although Apple says the bug affects "some users," reports continue to roll in on social media platforms like Twitter.

It looks like there could be an issue with Apple Card and making a Payment right now. Tried myself and had others comment on it where you try to pay, but it says unavailable. pic.twitter.com/qDlI4kdpet
