CoreCard’s Uncertain Future Amid Apple Card Issuer Changes

CoreCard’s Uncertain Future Amid Apple Card Issuer Changes

Imagine a small company called CoreCard, led by an 84-year-old named Leland Strange.

They're the brains behind the special features of the Apple Card, like the way your bill looks.

But because Apple's credit card partner, Goldman Sachs, is changing things, CoreCard's future is up in the air.

JPMorgan Chase might take over, which could mean CoreCard loses its biggest client.

CoreCard's value went up when the Apple Card started, but then went down.

Now, another company, Euronet, is buying CoreCard.

Mr. Strange, who loves Dr. Pepper and Waffle House, is still in charge, but might have sold the company at a better time.
