Apple is looking into expanding its financial services beyond just Apple Pay and the Apple Card.

In a recent report from Bloomberg, the tech giant is rumored to pay more attention to “future financial services” by bringing additional procedures in the field under the company’s services. Apple is hoping to not only develop its own payment processing system but intends to deal with behind-the-scenes tasks including performing its own credit checks and risk assessment for loans.

With these new initiatives, the company hopes to seamlessly integrate them with its other financial products. While Apple has currently declined to comment on the new shakeup of its business model, this is not the first time Apple has been rumored to expand its services.
