Worth opening Marcus for £5000?

I've got £5000 sitting in my starling account earning nothing. Is it worth opening a MArcus account and moving it over or would you not bother? Can't decide if its worth the hassle / credit search etc. I don't envisage much more going in the near future.

  • You would earn interest and only you can say whether that's enough to motivate you for the hassle of opening a new account. But it can be done entirely online so it's not that hard.

    There won't be a credit search to open a savings account.
  • I've done it. took honestly 60 seconds. Thanks for info on credit search.
