    I do wish Marcus would have another layer of security when it comes to passwords. A passcode or texts.

    From my experience they do.  I always have to enter an additional code received by text before I can access the account.

    Why? The worst that could happen is that someone can see your transactions and balance, after they managed to get hold of your login details. They wouldn't be able to take any of your money, unless you have also allowed them to get hold of your entire linked account login details and manage to syphon money out of your current account.

    Never had to enter a code sent by text. Are you using a home computer?
  • I too get sent an OTP when I go to access my Marcus account.

    I access from a laptop.

    No extra security for me. Well not on an iPad anyway. Just email address and password.

    oh nice, does Marcus use any 2 factor authentication, like google authenticator for example? or just a text with a code you enter?
    thanks

    Hi has anyone transferred from the Marcus easy access savings account into the Marcus 1 year fixed saver? How easy was it?
