Nudge Inc. Launches the Peel the Apple Credit Card

In a groundbreaking announcement, Nudge Inc. has teamed up with the idol group Peel the Apple to introduce a next-generation credit card, aptly named the "Peel the Apple Card," set to launch on July 20, 2026. This innovative financial product aims to integrate everyday shopping with fan engagement, allowing users to support their favorite group while enjoying exclusive rewards and unique card designs.

Support Your Favorite Idol Group

The Peel the Apple Card is more than just a payment tool; it’s a way for fans to engage with the idol group through their daily purchases. For every transaction made, a portion of the processing fees contributes directly to the Peel the Apple fan club. Users of the card not only earn points from their transactions but also get a chance to unlock limited-time exclusive benefits offered by the group.

How It Works: The Unique Features of Nudge Card

Nudge Card collaborates with over 150 artists, sports teams, and local governments, providing a myriad of credit card options. The structure is designed to enable fans to support their idols directly through spending in a fun and rewarding way.

Exclusive Benefits and Design Options

When users sign up for the Peel the Apple Club through the Nudge Card app, their spending on the card provides access to exclusive perks related to the group. The app offers detailed information on these rewards, ensuring that fans are always in the loop regarding special offers.

The Peel the Apple Card features a numberless design, prioritizing both aesthetics and security, alleviating concerns about card number theft. Users who opt for the original design will receive a special "keepsake card" which can be stored as a collector's item, representing their loyalty towards Peel the Apple.

About Peel the Apple

Established in 2020, the idol group Peel the Apple was formed by finalists from the "26時のマスカレイド" audition.
