Apple launched a high-yield savings account on Monday as more and more consumers seek to take advantage of the high interest rate environment.

The savings account is available to Apple Card customers through its partner, Goldman Sachs, and offers a yield of 4.15% with no minimum deposits, no minimum balance requirements, and no fees.

While Apple's starting yield of 4.15% isn't the highest for a high-yield savings account, there is something Apple offers that few others do: convenience. At least, convenience for iPhone users who already have an Apple Card, as the savings account integrates into the iPhone's Wallet app.

"Our goal is to build tools that help users lead healthier financial lives, and building Savings into Apple Card in Wallet enables them to spend, send, and save Daily Cash directly and seamlessly — all from one place," Apple vice president Jennifer Bailey said.

Here's how Apple's new high-yield savings account stacks up against the competition, according to Insider's Personal Finance team.
