Our Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 (Excellent)

Marcus by Goldman Sachs' greatest advantage is its 1.85% Annual Percentage Yield. The account's high APY is supplemented by no fees whatsoever and a low $1.00 to begin accruing interest–the account itself does not even require a deposit to open. Drawbacks to Marcus savings accounts include no debit or ATM card, and no mobile app for easy access on smartphone devices. We recommend Marcus for anyone looking for a high-yield savings account that requires little initial investment.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs Savings Account Account Features

Balance Requirements - 4.6 / 5

The annual percentage yield of Marcus savings accounts numbers at 2.15%, a relatively high number among saving accounts. The interest for these accounts compounds on a daily basis and is credited to accounts monthly. Marcus does not have a mobile app, nor does it provide customers with a debit/ATM card. If consumers should wish access to their funds, they will need to send an ACH Transfer to an account at another bank or a wire transfer. Interestingly, personal loan customers with Marcus are able to apply for a savings account in fewer steps and can manage both simultaneously.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs Savings Account Reputation & Financial Strength

Financial Stability & Ratings - 4.4 / 5

As a branch of the broader Goldman Sachs Group, the Goldman Sachs Bank USA enjoys predictably high financial ratings. Marcus' online reputation is more mixed, however. It has no presence on Trustpilot and holds a C+ rating with the BBB. Its rating is a result of the length of time the business has been operating and the number of complaints (27) filed against business. Consumers may contact customer representatives via phone call, email, and social media Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 12 am Eastern Time.

REGARDING MARCUS: by Goldman Sachs, I will be brief in my 1-star review. The issue is login errors to the online customer portal. I reached out to customer support to resolve the login error that began 5 days ago. After speaking to no less than 5 Marcus agents, the only resolution is to stop using my PC to log in. The account has been open for 90 days. Prior to this week, there were no log in issues using my PC running Windows 11 using a Chrome browser. As soon as possible, both accounts will be closed and account balances for Certificate of Deposit and Savings will be transferred.

DO NOT bank with them! They will hold your money hostage and could care less that you need it in a timely manner. It is hard to believe that their tactics are legal in this country. Worst banking experience in my 60 plus years.
