Apple Card Recurring Transactions in iOS 27

iOS 27 brings a variety of new features to Apple Wallet, including one exclusive to Apple Card that I wish every card offered: a hub for all recurring transactions. iOS 27 shows Apple Card recurring transactions in one place, making it easy to track subscriptions. Subscriptions are increasingly popular in the digital-centric world, and it can be easy to lose track of everything you’re subscribed to. While plenty of apps and services offer to keep track of your subscriptions, giving third parties access to your financial info can spark privacy concerns. Fortunately, those solutions soon won’t be needed for Apple Card.

In iOS 27, the Wallet app offers a new feature for Apple Card users: a recurring transaction section. When viewing your Apple Card, there’s a new ‘Recurring’ option inside the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Tapping this shows a list of upcoming recurring transactions, and even lets you see them on a monthly calendar view. I like to think I have a pretty good sense of all the things I’m subscribed to, but that takes effort. Apple Card’s new feature makes tracking subscriptions effortless. I’m especially a fan of the calendar view, as it’s nice getting to see at a glance exactly when each charge is expected.

iOS 27 lists recurring transactions based on your Apple Card history, so it won’t always catch everything. The Wallet app has a disclaimer: “Dates and amounts shown are predicted based on your transaction history and may not be exact. Routine spending may incorrectly appear as recurring.” If you do see an item incorrectly marked, it’s easy to correct the error.

I really hope Apple Card inspires more credit cards and banks to copy this feature. It feels like a no-brainer addition that every card should have. Now I want to start moving all my subscriptions onto Apple Card.
