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.

Recent change to Marcus was not a great move
The interest rates are very competitive, and the phone customer service has good availability. The problem is that they recently changed the website to Marcus.com, which has all of these fancy graphics but is actually much more difficult to use than the old gsbank.com. It's not a dealbreaker, but it still sucks that the bank management people don't understand that huge text and fancy graphics don't make the website a better user experience.
FAST WIRE TRANSFER
Kudos to GS for good service on their free wire transfer. I phoned at 3:55pm to move a substantial amount to an outside financial institution, and GS complete the transfer that same day.
CD Renewal Process Is Pitiful
My first (of 5) CD's just came due yesterday. There is NOTHING on their website to renew--other banks have options to do it online.
So I called today to change my 18-month to a 12-month. You can't do that. What about adding extra money from my Marcus Online Savings? You can't do that either.
I ended up having to close the CD and re-open a new CD--with the whole approval process, must sign and return signature card, etc.--just to roll over the CD.
The rates are fine. The process worked, so I'm not leaving them. But it was a lot messier than it should have been.
Run From This Bank
Tried to open an online account. Answered all their personal questions they put to me. Was told to call this number, I did so. Was told they couldn't open the account, but would not give me a reason why? When I asked her for the reason, she just hung up on me??
I was going to transfer $50,000 from my no-interest bank into a high-interest online account. They are rude and condescending. It's no wonder these morons went bankrupt in 2008-2009. I'm actually so happy it did not go through because I found a real online high-interest bank in American Express.

Perhaps this is a consequence of the preemptive rate reductions by Marcus and its competition.
