Risk assessment, fraud analysis, credit checks, and dispute handling


Meta and Google tried to issue financial products directly

But eventually gave up


Apple has avoided issuing financial products directly

It partners with financial companies to serve its users worldwide


Apple partners with CoreCard and Green Dot for payment processing

The news of the Breakout project sent their shares down 10%


Apple has ample resources to be a fierce financial player

However, it doesn’t make sense for it to become a bank
