Good rate but it's not clear if it will be covered by the FSCS or a foreign scheme

The article below states that it will be covered by the FSCS £85,000. However, I am more interested in how other UK banks react.

I also see that the 1.50% includes a 0.15% 12 month bonus.

The Marcus website now says to contact the Customer Care team if you’d like to know more. Just tried. They have no info to share. Just refer you back to the webpage . Not a good start

I think I will wait to make sure it settles okay! It is a bit like computer upgrades, I always wait a week or so to make sure the bugs have been ironed out !!

Transferred funds into it and they showed up within a couple of minutes.
