Sending Apple Cash to Savings Account

I'm curious about how to send Apple Cash to a SAVINGS account. I obviously see the "transfer to bank" option on the Wallet app, but if I were to change the bank account info to a different account, wouldn't that also change the pay FROM account? I don't want to pay the Apple Card bill from the savings account. Is there a way to have more than one bank account connected so one can be for paying FROM, and one can be for paying TO?

 

Thanks!

Have you tried adding a second account?

Maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see that option 

 

EDIT: Oh, dang, yes I do see that now LOL

Re: Sending Apple Cash to Savings Account

Okay, so adding another account still didn't give me the option to transfer Apple Cash to the new account. Still the only account available to transfer into is the checking account from which I make payments.

I think you have to edit the bank account number on Apple Cash directly. Go to wallet -> Apple Cash -> three dots on the upper right -> bank account -> select the current account and then it will give you the option to edit the number by putting routing and acct number. 

edit: forgot to say, I think that transferring from Apple Cash is limited to one account only and is managed on the Apple Cash tab directly. It should not delete or change the accounts you use to pay the Apple Card, which is managed on the card tab directly.

Thanks for the info! If I change the bank account on the Apple Cash side, does that change the pay-from account on the Card side? Because obviously I don't want to be paying the bill from the savings account.

Re: Sending Apple Cash to Savings Account

Use the Apple Cash funds to pay the Apple Card.

Write down the amount on a scrap of paper.

Go to your banking app / website and transfer that same amount from checking to savings. 
Done. 

In three months, or six months, your choice, repeat.

Very logical lol.  The question is whether I want to take such a rational approach....🤔

Changing the bank account in Apple Cash shouldn't change the accounts you have to pay the Apple Card. Just tried. I have 3 accounts for payment, one of them is on Apple Cash. I changed the one on Apple Cash for another that is not registered, and it didn't change anything on the card side.
