In episode 2 of the Company Spotlight series we explore the world of tech companies invading the finance industry, and specifically Apple, the tech giant that's not satisfied with just dominating the smartphone market. Apple decided to dive headfirst into the finance industry, and boy did they make a splash. With Apple Pay, you can now buy a coffee, a burrito, or even a new pair of sneakers with just a flick of your wrist. It's like magic, except it's technology. But what's even crazier is how successful it's become. Some people even say that using Apple Pay is easier than trying to navigate the maze that is your bank's mobile app. And who can blame them? With Apple Pay, you don't need to remember your pin, your password, or even your mother's maiden name. All you need is your iPhone and a few taps, and voila, you've just made a purchase. The Worlds most valuable company has its own Credit Card, is providing Loans, and even just announced a Savings Account! Is this the start of the tech domination within finance as well? Tune in!
