Review of the Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Savings:

Easy to Use, not the best Savings Rate

4
Setting up an account with Marcus is easy to do and thorough. Once a market leader Savings Account, Marcus no longer provides one of the best savings rates, which is a shame because the App is easy to use and the customer service is quick and friendly. Reviewed on: 20th January 2025

Effective Online Savings

4
We have used Marcus to ‘garage’ funds between projects at better than bank interest and the online transfers have always been rapid with our nominated bank account. Simple to use online banking. Reviewed on: 27th October 2022

Simple straight forward savings account

4
The Marcus account came along when UK savings rates were at at all time low. It offered a noticeably higher rate of return, simple to operate with a tablet friendly mobile app. It has also been reactive to base rate changes and now offers 2% instant access. Really, what's not to like? Reviewed on: 22nd October 2022

Savings account

Interest rates go up as soon as the base rate changes, not like other banks who make no change Reviewed on: 23rd August 2022

TL;DR

Pages and pages of explanations and it took ages to open an account. After opening, there's not much I can do with it. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

First class

5
I have had a savings account for quite some time with the Marcus arm of Goldman Sachs, and I have always found them to be excellent in all aspects. Passing on savings rate rises when they are available, an easy to use app, and when i have had occasion to speak to customer services they are brilliant. If only others were as professional.

Reliability, Honesty, and Simplicity

It is a pleasure to use their website. logging in is straight-forward and the level of security is perfectly adequate. Communications are simple and instant access is exactly that. Deposit interest is highly competitive. Reviewed on: 9th March 2022

Been with Marcus since Day 1. It is still my primary Savings account with Instant access Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Very good company

Always a very competitive interest rate. Online statements very clear and easy to withdraw and deposit money. Good checks when you try to withdraw cash, and signing into account Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Great home for your instant access savings

Competitive interest rate that is updated regularly to reflect any base rate change. Instant access and very fast transfers when needed, even at weekends. Uncluttered interface, easy to navigate. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
