Retweet Tuesday: Details at https://www.ap-now.com/public/Retweet-Tuesday.cfm

In this episode, Mary Schaeffer is joined by Lynn Larson to discuss the new Apple credit card, which Larson recently obtained. The session began with a note that the cards are consumer cards, not business cards – although the similarities and possible applications are discussed later in the session. Larson explained how she had not requested a physical card because she used it through her iPhone and Apple wallet. An Apple iPhone is required.

Larson then discusses the many features of the card and the ease of use. She mentions that she makes the monthly card payment directly from her phone. She then mentions the Titanium card that has created a bit of a stir in the payment community. The issue on the host’s mind, what happens if you lose your phone, is finally addressed – and the answers allay many concerns.

Before the close, there is a discussion of whether or not Apple will roll the card out into the corporate market. While this does not appear to be on the horizon, Larson points out the features that might make it appealing to the business market. Of course, a possible alternative to that would be corporate issuers adopting some of the more attractive features to their own offerings.

The session closes with Schaeffer reminding Larson that AP Now has designated Tuesday, August 4th, as Retweet Tuesday for those with an interest in accounts payable issues. AP Now will retweet as many tweets as possible that day that include the hashtag,
