Marcus sort code.

Jozafeen

Hi, I also recently set up an online Marcus account and tried to google the sort code for reassurance. Like you, I couldn’t find any info. I rang Barclays and asked them (being a customer of theirs) if they would investigate for me. The woman I spoke to asked me to hold, then came back to me and told me the sort code I’d given her came up as Goldman Sachs. So I felt more reassured after that.

I have made transfers in and out with it and had no problems - all very speedy in fact.

I was surprised it took so long for the Marcus balance to update after sending money into it from the linked account. In fact, I was worried it hadn't worked, as the first deposit took almost 15 minutes to show up in Marcus. Subsequent deposits have taken between 5 and 10 minutes to show up - still significantly slower than most other banks.

15 minutes! Wow

You seem to think I was complaining about the time it took - I was not. I am fine with it taking 15 minutes to appear, now I know that's the case. If I knew it would take 3 days, I would be fine with it.

Comments from other posters suggesting it's really quick led me to believe it would be at least as quick as any other bank, which is why after 15 minutes I was starting to think the transfer had failed. These days, 15 minutes is not "speedy". It's extremely slow.

Well as they say fingerbobs, time is money :-)

Thanks Jozafeen. Yes, you can't be too careful. You did right.

Rather than all this rigmorall why not just keep cash in your house or glove box of your car? Or in your current account.

In all honesty, nobody in the U.K. has savings of over £85,000 just sat somewhere - this is England fgs, so the fcfsft will cover you up to 85k so just keep it in your current account

Lots of people have more than £85,000.

I don’t believe more than 3% of the population have more than £85k in savings, this is England in 2018 where we are all broke and on the breadline

Some people had Stoozpots that big back in the day. I suppose some may still have.
