How do I connect my Apple Card to Kudos?

Link your Apple Card to Kudos from your iPhone or iPad in about a minute, plus requirements and troubleshooting tips.

You can connect your Apple Card to Kudos from the Kudos app on your iPhone or iPad. Once it's linked, your Apple Card purchases show up in your Kudos feed next to your other cards, and they're included in your spending insights, card recommendations, and rewards tracking.

Setup takes about a minute, plus a few minutes for your transaction history to load.

What you need

  • An iPhone or iPad running iOS 17.4 or later

  • The Kudos app installed on that device

  • Your own Apple Card account (Apple Card Family participants can't connect yet)

How to connect your Apple Card

  1. Open the Kudos app and tap Wallet at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Swipe to your Apple Card. If you don't see it, tap + Add card at the top and add it first.

  3. Under Summary, tap Connect your account.

  4. Your iPhone will ask whether Kudos can access your financial data. Tap Select Accounts.

  5. Make sure Apple Card is checked, then tap Continue. Sharing Apple Cash is optional.

  6. Leave All Available Activity selected and tap Share with Kudos. This brings in your full history.

  7. Keep Kudos open for a few minutes while your transactions load. You'll see a counter as they sync.

After that, new Apple Card transactions sync each time you open the Kudos app.

Is it safe?

Yes. Apple Card connects through Apple's own secure system (FinanceKit) on your device, not through Plaid. You approve access on your iPhone or iPad, choose which accounts to share, and can stop sharing at any time. Kudos never sees your Apple Card login.

Troubleshooting

I don't see all my Apple Card transactions. Make sure you selected All Available Activity during setup and kept Kudos open while your history loaded. New transactions sync each time you open the app, so open Kudos to pull in your latest purchases.

I don't see the option to connect. Check that your iPhone or iPad is on iOS 17.4 or later and that your Apple Card is added to your Kudos Wallet. If it isn't, tap + Add card to add it first.

Can I connect on Android or on the web? The connection has to start on an iPhone or iPad because it uses Apple's system. Once connected, your Apple Card activity shows up everywhere you use Kudos.

I'm an Apple Card Family member. Apple doesn't currently support Apple Card Family participants for this kind of connection, so only the account owner can connect for now.

Do I have to share Apple Cash? No. You only need to check Apple Card during setup.
