Review of the Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Savings:

View on product page

Wanted a savings account for my 'slush fund' savings.

Wanted a savings account four my 'slush fund' savings. Somewhere to keep my 'spare' money offering a reasonable return (minimal losses against inflation) and unlimited instant access. Marcus offered a decent interest rate and an easy interface. Money moves between their account and my current account really quickly and securely. Have never had any issues, nor any need to interact with customer support. It just 'works' in the ways we need it to. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2026

Review of the Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Savings:

Easy to use with reasonable rate of interest

It's not offering the highest interest rates on the market but not usually significantly lower. We really like the ease with which we can transfer funds between the savings and our nominated current account. We've never encountered any issues to date (hence not leaving a rating for customer service - we've never needed them) and transfers both ways go through very quickly. With only one linked account permitted, I can be confident of not transferring funds to the 'wrong' accounts, whether mine or somebody else's. Reviewed on: 10th April 2025

Does everything I need

Have been with Co-Operative Bank for a decade now. Never had any bother. They were helpful and compassionate when I was a victim of fraud last year. The app works well and my money has been handled fine. No causes for complaint in ten years. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Review of the Chorley Building Society, Savings:

Child Trust Fund - no issues so far

My son has held a CTF with Chorley for 13 years now. We've had no bother with it. The interest has been accruing and we get an annual statement. There were no issues when we moved home and the communications have been welcomed without being overwhelming. We had no bother speaking to a helpful human being whenever we have needed to.
