    I’d just prefer to be able to top my accounts up when direct debits are taken.

    One thing that the Marcus account does fall down on is the ability to enter payments for future dates.
    I moved some out of Marcus into a Tesco Internet Saver paying 1.45% to cover that base.

    Only issue I've experienced is that their website blocks you from logging in to your account if it detects you are outside the UK...


    Not seen this either and I used it while in the U.S. in November

    I’ve got three internet saver accounts open but I think that the rates are lower than that on mine. I think that I’d need to ring them to get them closed before I open another and simply can’t be bothered.

    I believe 6 is the max. New accounts are up and running, and funded, in a couple of minutes.

    Oh okay. I had it in my head that it was 3. I might take a look tonight but it’s barely be worth it for the sake of a grand or two for a few days. It’s worth knowing though. Thanks.

    A positive testimonial here - all deposits/withdrawals I've made have arrived within minutes.


    Unlikely to be of importance to many, but the Marcus website is also one of the most beautiful commercial sites I've seen. Clean and simple. Too nerdy?

    IMHO yes - it's one thing to be impressed by a clean and simple website but 'beautiful', you need to get out more!

    But...but it is just so pretty!


    In my defence, I also have to use the TSB site...:shocked:

    I can relate to the refreshing sight of Marcus when coming from the TSB website!
