Need money to make it to your next payday? While Apple Pay is a handy tool to have on your phone if you don’t want to carry a wallet, you can’t apply for a cash advance just through Apple Pay. That being said, you can use a linked credit card with Apple Pay to take out cash at ATMs and applicable retail locations, as well as make purchases with your card and receive bonuses.
Credit card cash advances typically involve borrowing money against your credit limit. This type of credit transaction is often associated with fees and higher interest rates than regular purchases made with your card. The methods for getting a cash advance vary depending on the credit card issuer and may include using an ATM, visiting a bank, or requesting a check from your provider.
If you need a cash advance, you’ll need to explore online financing or any other options provided by your credit card issuer.
Does The Apple Credit Card Have Cash Advances?
As mentioned above, you can get a cash advance through Apple Pay at an ATM or a retailer. But, not through the system directly. Apple Pay used to offer “Buy Now, Pay Later” programs, but are no longer taking on new loans.
If you have an Apple Cash balance, you can transfer money directly from your Apple Cash card to your bank account or debit card. Most transfers are completed within a few business days. But you’ll pay a fee for issuing this transfer if you need it instantly on a debit card. Typically, this fee is around 1.5% of the total transfer amount.
How Can I Get An Apple Card Cash Advance?
If you were wondering, “Can I use an Apple card at an ATM?” The answer is yes, but there is a little bit of nuance to consider.
If you have an existing credit card from a provider, you can use Apple Pay to get a cash advance. If your linked credit card is eligible for cash advances and you have available credit to borrow against, you can use Apple Pay to apply at a participating ATM. The ATM must support cardless payments and take Apple Pay for this to work. You’ll need to set up a PIN for your Apple Card before the advance can be issued, however.
Can I Get Cash Back Using Apple Pay?
Yes, you can get cash back using Apple Pay, but it is generally limited to using a linked debit or credit card at a participating retailer’s checkout terminals, such as Exxon, Nike, or Walgreens. It’s not guaranteed that an Apple Pay Card will give you cash back at every location, so you’d have to review which stores work with this payment method and offer the opportunity to give you a reward incentive for a purchase. While both debit and credit cards linked to Apple Pay can provide cash back, you may find that it works best with debit cards compared to credit cards that are restricted by many issuers. If you want to get cash back through another method with Apple Pay, though, you can consider Apple Daily Cash, which claims to offer unlimited cash back on every purchase (with the cash back being a percentage of the purchase), instantly deposited to your Apple Cash debit card balance or an Apple Savings account.
If you’re interested in the regular cash back method through Apple Pay, you must understand that this reward incentive works similarly to any other physical card you use to get money for a purchase. However, you can make the cash back process more convenient by simply using your iPhone at checkout and pressing the side button twice to complete your transaction. Once you confirm the transaction, you can choose the cash back amount you’d like and finish the transaction from your phone. If you’re approved for cash back, you can receive the funds you selected after the transaction falls through with the retailer.
Keep in mind that you can get physical cash if you decide to get cash back using Apple Pay. The process also works similarly to many other cash back processes, but you can only use a debit card linked to your Apple Pay account. You cannot use a credit card to get physical money, and you must enter your PIN (if required) at the retailer’s payment terminal to complete the transaction and access your necessary funding. If you need money for a large, unexpected expense, you must understand that the cash back feature doesn’t usually translate to significant amounts of money you can receive.
What is the Apple Card Cash Advance Limit?
While Apple Pay doesn’t offer cash advances, you can still opt for the alternative methods to get funding by withdrawing money from an ATM after transferring funds from your Apple Cash balance to a bank account or getting cash back at a retailer. As mentioned previously, though, if you have an existing card from a provider, you can potentially use Apple Pay to get a cash advance by applying at a participating ATM. Since you cannot get a cash advance directly from Apple Pay, there is no cash advance limit to deal with. However, if you decide to withdraw cash from an ATM linked to your Apple Pay, you may have to deal with the limits set by the ATM and your specific card issuer.
If you choose to transfer money from your Apple Cash balance to your bank account or debit card to withdraw those funds at an ATM, you must understand that Apple Cash has certain limits on transfers you can make when attempting to make a transfer. You can transfer up to a maximum of $10,000 per transaction to a bank account of your choice and can only transfer up to $20,000 within a 7-day period. It’s important to mention that there are zero fees for moving money from your Apple Cash to your bank account, unless you decide to send it with an instant transfer. Make sure your debit card is an eligible card set in your Apple Wallet before you decide to send money there from your Apple Cash balance.
What Do I Need to Know About Using Apple Pay to Get a Cash Advance?
If you do use Apple Pay to get a cash advance on your credit card at an ATM, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.
- The cash advance will be processed as such by your provider. Therefore, you will incur the same fees as if you did it without using Apple Pay.
- A cash advance fee is typically around 3% of the amount you withdraw. This is typically higher than the usual purchase APR (Annual Percentage Rate) on the card.
- Additionally, interest on emergency cash advances usually starts accruing immediately, and the APR is typically higher than for purchases.
