Marcus Bank - Easy Access Savings Account

MACKEM99

Bit late to the party but just opened one for me and other half and it was the easiest account I have ever opened - and there have been lots.  Tried couple of in and outs and worked fine.

Sorry if this has been asked before, whats the name of the Marucs app? I can't find it in the apple store.

Goldman Sachs are old school and only use a browser.

QQ - made a transfer to Marcus account this morning but still not appeared in the account (it has left my other account !) ... what’s the usual time lapse on transfers in at weekends? 

Had no timing issue previously?

I don't think there is one for UK customers. Don't get confused with the one for US users

As Cold iron said, US only

On Friday evening they were saying they would be working on the site over the weekend, and delays might be experienced.

Hi all,
If i opened a Marcus account, do they need any forms to fill in or verify anything by post or receive anything via post before I am up and running? or is it just setup in a few minutes and ready to go?
I recently opened a Coventry RS and it was all setup online BUT i needed to wait for the login ID & grid card before i could access the account, they didn't need any ID verification so i presume whatever checks they did, it was all ok.
Thanks

You can still make deposits without your login ID/grid card.

It’s generally a bad idea to deposit money into accounts that you don’t have full access to.

I don’t disagree with you, whilst I would do/did this with Coventry BS I probably would be more cautious with a relative unknown bank.

Yes, agreed - I didn't want to transfer money to an account I didn't have access to so I could verify the funds arrived in the account.
Still looking at accounts but thinking will open a Marcus later this month when the interest rate drops on my 123 account.
Thanks
