In December 2017, Goldman Sachs Bank USA re-branded to Marcus by Goldman Sachs - Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Marcus is the name the company had been using exclusively for their online lending business. The deposit offerings renamed the same, but Goldman rolled out a new and improved mobile experience with the new brand.
As of 2008, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, a DepositAccounts.com advertiser, is a commercial bank regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Thanks to its transition from an investment bank to a commercial bank, Marcus offers deposit products to both individuals and institutions, including interest-bearing online savings accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CDs). Their online savings accounts feature no minimum initial deposits to open. Their CDs feature relatively low initial deposit requirements, as well as customizable monthly interest disbursements. That is, although interest will automatically be added to the principal of the CD, customers can choose to transfer the interest to their Marcus savings account, or to an external bank account. Customers can also withdraw their interest penalty-free at any time. CD terms range from 6 months to 6 years.
All of Marcus’s deposit accounts feature convenient access to online banking, banking by phone, bank transfers, and wire transfers. Although they are an internet-only bank, funds can also be deposited via mailed checks..
Marcus by Goldman Sachs - Goldman Sachs Bank USA was established in 1990 as The Goldman Sachs Trust Company. The bank is owned by the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a multinational firm founded in 1869 and headquartered in New York, NY.

Terrible Web Experience
I have just about had it with Marcus by Goldman Sachs's outdated and clunky website. It is extremely slow and keeps logging me out a few seconds after logging in each time. Opening a CD online takes forever! Navigating between different screens will make you want to scream! I have better things to do than sit and watch the little "M" and the spinning circle around it for minutes (!) each time I click on a button. This website design and functionality belong to the days of the dial-up modem and should have been revamped a long time ago. I don't have any of these issues with any other bank's website, so I know it is not anything to do with my computer or browser.
I haven't had any problems with Marcus's banking products or customer service but the web experience is a huge negative. Marcus should get its website modernized and responsive or it will lose customers.
No Good For Seniors With A Family Trust
I opened a Marcus savings account a couple weeks ago to improve interest rate on my savings. The website and overall opening experience were ok. Unfortunately there is a big hidden deficiency in their accounts. We have a family trust and my other accounts, Ally, Amex, and CapitalOne all let us name our trust as the pay-on-death beneficiary. I figured Marcus would be the same.
After I got some money moved into Marcus I tried to set up the trust as beneficiary but they only accept individuals as beneficiaries. Deal breaker.
I'm going to have to undo hours of work, move my money back where it was and close the account.
Great Online Experice Without Limits
If you need/want an online account with good customer experiences, a nice online platform and competitive rates - without limits, Marcus has it. Slightly below the "top tier" of rates but, the lack of "gotchas" and limits on xfers and has superior customer service. If you prefer the "big guys" and still want a better rate and [positive customer service, Marcus Delivers. I NEVER had a problem dealing online or by phone. They won't be THE rate .leader but will remain closer to the top vice sinking to average levels
5 Stars
Its an OK bank with an OK rate. I have no big problems whatsoever. If it were not for their promotions I never would have bothered. First 1% on $50k for 90 days, then $100 on $10,000 for 60 days.
Not notably higher everyday rates.
