🏦 JPMorgan Chase Nears a Deal to Take Over Apple's Credit-Card Program 💳$JPM is in advanced talks to take over $AAPL (Apple) credit-card program, according to people familiar with the matter. 💳Discussions between the country's biggest bank and Apple accelerated in recent months, with Apple telling JPMorgan it is the tech giant's preferred choice to replace Goldman Sachs as its card partner.
