I’m intrigued by “budgeting tools”. I have a great checkbook app on my iphone in which I record every transaction I make, whether credit or cash. With it, I know exactly how much I have and how much I owe in any given moment for each of my accounts, I have a record of every transaction I made in all categories which helps me see my overall spending and helps tremendously come tax return time, and I can compare my records to my account statements to make sure there are no discrepancies. The app is very efficient so it only takes 5 seconds to record each transaction (recurring transactions are automatic), but since more and more of my transactions are via Apple Pay and someday hopefully all of them will be, my dream would be that all Apple Pay transactions would be recorded automatically into my checkbook app. I know that probably can’t happen with a third party app because of security, so it would have to be a native app integrated directly with Apple Pay. Not sure what kind of motivation Apple needs to make such an app, but perhaps this new credit card is it. If so, depending on the card features, I would jump on board.
