When Apple launched its new credit card last summer, one of the big selling points was that it wasn’t like an ordinary credit card. It lives primarily in your Apple Wallet on your iPhone or iPad, and you don’t even get a physical card unless you request one.

But no matter how innovative a credit card is, sometimes you still want to do very ordinary things with it—like check your balance or pay your bill. One of our criticisms of Apple Card from its initial launch was the inability to manage your card unless you were using an Apple mobile device.

But now, you can finally use any old web browser to check your balance, pay your bill or get support. You no longer have to rely on your iPhone or iPad.

All you have to do is sign in at card.apple.com with your Apple ID. The dashboard is clean and sparse, in typical Apple style; it’s probably one of the easiest credit card payment portals to navigate. There are just four options on the left side of your dashboard, with no special offers cluttering up the screen.

If you are fully immersed in the Apple universe—you’ve got the phone, the watch, the little tablet, the big tablet, two laptops and so on—you might not feel like you need the option to log in to a web browser dashboard. But it’s a nice one to have in your back pocket. If you lose your phone, for instance, you can now manage your Apple Card by logging into any old browser (you know, safely).

There’s nothing exciting about being able to manage your Apple Card online, and that’s why it’s so great. It’s familiar. It does everything you need it to do. And you can give your thumbs a break.
