    I think this is a good product. No hassle, no strings, instant access savings at a market leading rate.

    agreed. the comments re significant cash holdings, and re marginal increases above some other accounts, are all relevant - but the best available Instant Access rate, which happens to be easy access, is always going to attract attention.

    I am also a happy holder of a Marcus account and glad I can transfer money from it almost instantly.

    Faster payments?

    Payments into and out of Santander are pretty much instant. Not so with Marcus.

    I'm not sure about that? - I've made payments in and out of my Marcus account to/from my linked account and never had to wait more than 5 minutes for the transfers to complete.

    Maybe it's improved. My early transfers were taking hours rather than minutes. I wasn't impressed either by its being down for several hours.

    OK. Not sure why that happened. Also when it was 'down for several hours' I was able to login without issues during that time. Maybe it was only affecting some accounts. Not sure why though.

    You must have encountered a glitch. I made a payment from Marcus today and it was there in minutes.
