According to a source who detailed this information, Apple gave Goldman Sachs a proposal to end their partnership in the next 12 to 15 months, essentially giving them a way out, as previous reports claim that they are looking for it.

What Will Happen on Apple Card, Savings Venture
While there is still a long time before it officially ends, there are suggestions that Apple is seeing many companies who present their services to fulfill what Goldman Sachs will leave open once it leaves. There is Synchrony Financial, and according to the Wall Street Journal, there are already considerations in stepping in this role for Apple's Card and the Apple Card Savings.

Back in June, there were reports that Goldman Sachs had seen a $1 billion loss on its partnership with Apple, and this collaboration between both companies started in 2020 when they first offered the Apple Card. Amidst this report, there were also claims that Goldman Sachs is planning to pass this venture to other candidates, with American Express at the top of the list.
The news regarding this unsteady relationship began after Apple and Goldman Sachs introduced their latest venture which offers the high-yield Apple Card Savings service for users. Instead of functioning as a credit card, this Apple Card Savings will allow users to deposit money into their Apple account, and it offers increased interest rates that will help users earn over time, more than traditional banks.
With a rocky relationship unveiled earlier this year, and Goldman Sachs reportedly looking for a successor that will fulfill the financial aspect of its partnership with Apple, it was only time before both announced the end of their venture. Apple's statement confirms a lot for its future with Goldman Sachs, with about more or less one year before both go their separate ways.
