Although the Apple Card still works for us in Spain, on the other side of the Atlantic it has been working for a long time. It has been implemented quite well among Americans who use it non-stop. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to have control of those expenses. Now it will be easier thanks to the fact that we can export the monthly data to a CSV file.
Having a card, even from Apple, is always a concern for the expenses that we can generate when using it. That is why it does not hurt that any mechanism for its control is welcome.
Export to a CSV month by month the operations carried out with the card
Apple has announced that Apple Card users will now be able to Export your monthly banking transactions in a CSV format file. A basic format but very compatible with almost any finance and spreadsheet application.
This is a first step, because the American company is thinking that these monthly data can also be exported in OFX format (Openbank Financial Exchange). We still don't know when, but that's what we're here for, to tell you as many as you know.
In order to export this data, what the user of the Apple Card has to do is enter the card balance, choose a month and click on export transactions. Logically and although it seems a truism, this function will not be effective until at least one month of use with the card has passed. Getting it is not too difficult, the company Goldman Sachs has put a lot of facilities to grant the Apple Card to the maximum number of users.
It is an effective way to control the expenses of a card and see how the same has evolved month by month, by means of visual graphics that will tell you if you are going overboard or if, on the contrary, you can continue to burn "plastic".
