Yes. Marcus savings and certificate of deposit accounts are provided by Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Goldman Sachs Bank USA is an FDIC member, which means that funds deposited in Marcus savings products are insured up to the maximum allowed by law.

The FDIC insures deposits according to ownership category (such as individual, joint or accounts with beneficiaries). The current maximums are $250,000 in all your individual accounts combined, $250,000 per owner in all your jointly-owned accounts, and $250,000 in all the accounts where you are a named beneficiary.

Our customers are not required to apply for or request coverage. However, to ensure your funds are fully protected, it’s important to understand your deposit insurance limits.

To determine how much insurance is applicable to your accounts at Goldman Sachs Bank USA and for any other FDIC insurance requirements that may apply, please visit the FDIC website at www.fdic.gov or call the FDIC directly at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342).

A “Power of Attorney” is a legal document that gives someone, known as an “attorney-in-fact,” the power to take certain actions on your behalf. We will not allow an attorney-in-fact to open an account on your behalf. After you have opened an account, at our discretion and subject to applicable law, upon submission of a Power of Attorney, we may grant an attorney-in-fact access to your account on your behalf. 

At this time, we do not offer a debit card or ATM card for Marcus savings accounts. You can access the funds in your account by sending an ACH Transfer to your account at another bank or by sending a wire transfer.

During a time of loss, we’re here to help you with information you need and important steps you should take when an account owner passes away. We’ll require an original or certified copy of the death certificate as well as a letter of intent before any action can be taken. We’ll also need additional documentation depending on whether the account is an individual or joint account, and whether the original account owner(s) designated any beneficiaries before passing away.

Individual Account with No Beneficiaries. The account will need to be closed. We’ll need a certified or original copy of a document appointing an executor (a person typically appointed by a will or court to handle the affairs of the deceased) and a signed letter instructing us where to send the funds in the account. Once we receive the required documents, we’ll contact the executor if we have any questions.

Joint Account with No Beneficiaries. If the deceased account owner is the primary account owner, the account will need to be closed. If the deceased account owner is not the primary account owner, we can either close the account or transfer the account to the surviving joint owner(s). We’ll need a signed letter from the surviving joint owner(s) instructing us what to do with the account.

Information for Beneficiaries. If you’re a beneficiary on an account and each of the account owner(s) is deceased, we’ll need you to send us a completed Affidavit of Identity and Form W-9.

Requirements for Deceased Account Owners who are New Jersey Residents. If the deceased account holder is a New Jersey resident, we must also receive a completed Form L-8 (Affidavit for Non-Real Estate Investments; Resident Decedents) before we can disburse any funds. If you have questions regarding the New Jersey Tax Form or if you feel the Form L-8 does not apply to you, please consult your tax professional or the New Jersey Division of Taxation.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to receive letters or documents regarding a deceased account holder via email. Please send all documents via US mail to:

Goldman Sachs Bank USA
PO Box 1978
Cranberry Twp., PA 16066

Please call us if you have any questions about the documents required for a deceased depositor.

Interest is compounded daily and credited monthly to your account. Interest is calculated using the daily balance method. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal and interest that has accrued in the Account each day. This means that the interest from your Account is calculated every day on a 365-day year/ 366-day for leap years.

There are four ways you can add money to your account:

#1 Transfer funds between your Marcus account and a linked external bank account.

#2 Make direct deposit payments (Online Savings Accounts only). You can deposit all or part of your payroll or Social Security directly into your Marcus Online Savings Account. For payroll, simply provide your employer with the Goldman Sachs Bank USA Routing Transit number (1240-8526-0) and your Online Savings Account number to enable your employer to deposit funds directly into your account. For Social Security benefits, you can go to www.ssa.gov to schedule your direct deposit.

Mail check to:
Goldman Sachs Bank USA

Please make the check payable to your name (make sure the name is the same as on the account) or Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Please endorse the back of any check with the words "For Deposit Only" and include your account number.

There are several ways you can withdraw money from your Marcus Online Savings Account:

#1 ACH Transfer Initiated by us with a Linked External Account: You may withdraw funds from your Marcus Online Savings Account by going to our website (subject to certain transfer limits) or calling us to initiate an ACH Transfer into a linked account at an external bank.  We do not accept requests made through email, secure message, or mail to initiate ACH Transfers.

#2 ACH Transfer Initiated by an External Bank or Through a Third Party: You may withdraw funds from your Marcus  account by having an external bank (directly or through a third party) initiate an ACH Transfer from your Marcus account.

#3 Wire Transfer:  You may withdraw funds from your Marcus savings account by calling Customer Service to initiate a free wire transfer from your Marcus Savings account to an account you own at an external bank. You may also have the option to send a wire transfer from your Marcus savings account online, up to $10,000 total per statement period.  For wire transfers initiated at your external bank, you will need to provide the Goldman Sachs Bank USA Routing Transit Number, the wire transfer address and your Marcus account number. (Keep in mind that while Marcus doesn’t charge any fees for wire transfers, your external financial institution may charge a fee for wires into and out of your account.)

Routing Transit Number (RTN): 1240-8526-0     

Wire Transfer Address:
Goldman Sachs Bank USA
11850 South Election Road
Draper, Utah 84020          

#4 Request a Check: If you’d like to a request a withdrawal by check, please give us a call at 1-855-730-SAVE (1-855-730-7283). We will send a check, payable to the account owner only, to the primary address associated with your account. 

If you choose to link your Marcus account to an external bank account using account and routing numbers, we may use trial deposits to verify your access to that account.

Here’s how it works:

• We’ll make two small deposits into your external bank account (such as $0.01 and $0.06).
• Don’t worry about missing the deposits—we’ll send you a reminder email.
• Check your external account to verify the deposits are there. You’ll see them as credits.
• Log in to Marcus.com and enter the deposit amounts from your external bank account.
•  Your external account will be linked and you will be able to transfer funds to and from your Marcus accounts.

 

Customer Deposit Limits
The maximum amount on deposit for all of your individual and joint deposit accounts combined may not exceed $3,000,000 per account owner, with a $1,000,000 per account maximum.

Calculation of Limits         
For purposes of calculating the maximum aggregate deposit balance permissible for each Account Owner and in each account, deposit balances include the principal deposited in all accounts (i.e., Online Savings and CD accounts) held by the same account owner but do not include interest earned and credited but not withdrawn. With respect to joint accounts, for purposes of determining the maximum deposit balance permissible per account owner, each joint Account owner will be attributed an equal portion of the balance of the joint account.

Return of Funds: In the event that the account balances exceed the applicable maximum aggregate limits by greater than or equal to $1,500 (or such lesser amount as we determine in our sole discretion), the account owner authorizes us to return the full excess deposit balances to the account owner(s).

See the Deposit Account Agreement for details about Customer Deposit Limits.

Our free tracker makes it easy to follow transfers whenever you set them up from within your Marcus account.

Here’s how it works:

1. You schedule the transfer
2. We create the tracker
3. We add a “track my transfer” link to your dashboard

You’ll see information including the date it’s scheduled for and when we expect your funds to arrive. The link will disappear three days after we expect the transfer to be completed, but the transfer will appear in your transaction history.

There is a limit of six withdrawals or transfers in a monthly statement period from a Marcus Online Savings Account.

Yes. Reach your savings goals sooner by setting up recurring deposits. Log in to your account to select the frequency and timing for your deposits, and you’re on your way.

Log in to your account and schedule transfers to or from an external linked account at your convenience—holidays and weekends included. However, transfers will not be processed until the next available business day. 

No, at this time we do not transfer funds internationally. You may only transfer funds to banks located in the U.S., in certain U.S. territories (U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa), or in/on a U.S. military base or diplomatic facility.

At Marcus, we take your security seriously. When you request a wire transfer or set up a linked account to electronically transfer money, we may take certain steps to confirm your access to the external account to which you have requested your money be sent, or call you back to confirm the transfer is authorized. If we are unable to complete the required steps, we will not be able to complete your transfer. 

Delayed Availability
We may delay the availability of funds from your check deposits and certain other types of deposits for all accounts. During the delay, even though you may not withdraw funds and may not use the funds, in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Account Agreement, interest will be paid on deposits we receive.

If we receive a deposit before 5 pm C.T. on a Business Day, we will consider that Business Day to be the day of your deposit. If we receive a deposit after 5 pm C.T. or on a non-Business Day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next Business Day.

ACH Transfers
Funds from ACH Transfers that you have initiated through us from a linked external account will generally be available on the third Business Day after the day the ACH Transfer is deemed received by us. Funds from ACH Transfers to your account that you initiated through another bank will generally be available on the next Business Day after the day the ACH Transfer is deemed to be received by us, but may be available earlier, depending on the type of ACH Transfer.

Wire Transfers
Funds from wire transfers to your account that you initiate through another bank will be available on the Business Day we receive the deposit.

Internal Transfers between Marcus Savings Accounts
When you transfer funds from one of your accounts at Marcus to another of your accounts at Marcus on a Business Day, the funds will be available immediately.

Special Checks: For US Treasury checks or other government checks, and certified, teller and cashier’s checks, up to $5,000 will be available the next Business Day after the day of your deposit and the remainder will be available on the sixth Business Day after the day of your deposit, unless an exception applies.

Exceptions: Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period if:

• You deposit a single or multiple checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day
• You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid

Customer Deposit Limits
The maximum amount on deposit for all of your individual and joint deposit accounts combined may not exceed $3,000,000 per account owner, with a $1,000,000 per account maximum.

Calculation of Limits
For purposes of calculating the maximum aggregate deposit balance permissible for each New Account Owner and in each account, deposit balances include the principal deposited in all accounts (i.e., Online Savings and CD accounts) held by the same account owner but do not include interest earned and credited but not withdrawn. With respect to joint Accounts, for purposes of determining the maximum deposit balance permissible per Account owner, each joint Account owner will be attributed an equal portion of the balance of the joint Account.

Return of Funds: In the event that the account balances exceed the applicable maximum aggregate limits by greater than or equal to $1,500 (or such lesser amount as we determine in our sole discretion), the account owner authorizes us to return the full excess deposit balances to the account owner(s).

See the Deposit Account Agreement for details about Customer Deposit Limits.

You will start to earn interest on the business day we receive your deposit.

To close your Online Savings Account, go to your Account Detail page, click on the three dots menu in the upper right and select ‘Close this account’. You’ll be asked to choose an account to transfer your balance to (another Marcus account or your linked account at another bank). If you’d like to transfer to multiple accounts, or if you’d like us to mail you a check, please give us a call to close your account at 1-855-730-SAVE (1-855-730-7283).

No minimum balance is required in your Online Savings Account. However, if you do not maintain a positive balance for sixty (60) days, we may close your account.

The minimum deposit is $500.

If your Marcus CD account reaches the $500 minimum deposit within 10 days of the day you open your Marcus CD account (opening day plus 10 days), you will receive the highest published interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) we offer on the Marcus CD product and term you selected during that period, starting on your account opening date and extending for 10 days. This only applies to Marcus branded CD products.

If your Marcus CD account does not reach the $500 minimum deposit within 10 days of the day you open your account, your rate will be the interest rate and APY available for your Marcus CD product and term on the day your Marcus CD account reaches the $500 minimum deposit.

The interest you earn on your CD will automatically be added to the principal balance of your CD each month. Alternatively, you have the option to withdraw any earned interest on your CD, penalty-free. You can transfer the monthly interest earned to your Marcus Online Savings Account, or to one of your linked external bank accounts. Please call us at 1-855-730-SAVE (1-855-730-7283) to set up an interest disbursement. 

We will notify you via email before your CD’s maturity date. There is a 10-day grace period following your CD’s maturity date, during which you have a few options:

• withdraw balance without penalty;
• renew your CD with the same term; or,
• close your CD and open a new one with a different term

If you do not contact us within the 10-day grace period to take any action, your CD will automatically renew for another term.

The renewal term will begin (retroactively) on the day after the maturity date of the previous CD term. The principal balance for the renewal term will be the total balance in the CD (principal plus the interest that was not previously withdrawn) on the date the CD account is renewed. Your CD will receive the highest interest rate and APY we offer for the same CD product and term available during the 10-day grace period. A confirmation will be sent verifying the renewal terms.

Yes. Log in at Marcus.com and the maturity date will be displayed on your account information page.

Yes, you will receive a confirmation when your CD automatically renews. The confirmation will be sent out after the 10-day grace period concludes.

You will not receive a certificate for your CD. However, we will send you a confirmation letter ten days after we have received your opening deposit. This confirmation is your official record, so please save it for your reference.

If you withdraw the balance from your CD prior to maturity, you will be charged an early withdrawal penalty based on the term of your CD and the principal.

The applicable early withdrawal penalties are as follows:

CD Term	Early Withdrawal Penalty
Less than 12 months	90 days simple interest (see below) on the principal at the rate in effect for the CD
12 months to 5 years	270 days simple interest (see below) on the principal at the rate in effect for the CD
More than 5 years	365 days simple interest (see below) on the principal at the rate in effect for the CD

Daily simple interest is calculated by multiplying your interest rate (not APY) by the amount of principal in your CD account and dividing by 365. To calculate the early withdrawal penalty, multiply the daily simple interest by the number of penalty days listed above. For help estimating a potential early withdrawal penalty on your CD, call us at 1-855-730-SAVE (1-855-730-7283). 

You cannot withdraw a portion of your principal at any time prior to maturity. 

A CD ladder is a group of CDs with varying maturity dates. CD ladders allow you to take advantage of favorable interest rates and maintain access to your money more frequently than with a single, long-term CD. Click here for more information about CD laddering, or contact us. 

You have 30 days following the day you open your CD account to fully fund your CD. You cannot deposit additional funds into your CD account after it has been open for more than 30 days.

Both our High-Yield CD and our No-Penalty CD have a $500 minimum balance and come in a variety of terms. The differences are:

• Withdrawals. The full balance of a No-Penalty CD can be withdrawn anytime beginning seven days after funding, assuming the minimum balance requirement has been met. The High-Yield CD is subject to an early withdrawal penalty if the balance is withdrawn before the maturity date.
• Deposits. Once a No-Penalty CD is funded with at least $500, you cannot deposit any additional funds into that account. For a High-Yield CD, funds can be added to the account for 30 days after opening.  

Learn more about our High Yield CDs and No Penalty CDs to find out which is right for you

What is the CD Maturity Center?

With our CD Maturity Center, you’re in the driver’s seat. The CD Maturity Center is where you or any joint owner (for joint accounts) can tell us what to do with your CD when it matures. Your choices are:

• Let the CD automatically renew for a new term. (This is the default setting when you open a CD)
• Renew the CD with an increased or decreased principal balance, a different term or both
• Close the CD and withdraw all funds

Whatever you specify in the CD Maturity Center – that’s what we’ll do when your CD matures.  Change your mind later? Return to the CD Maturity Center as often as you like (until 8:30 pm ET the day before your maturity date) to update your plan. To reach the CD Maturity Center, log in to your account, go to your Account Details page and click ‘View/Edit Plan’. 

You can change your plan in the CD Maturity Center at any time during the 12 months before your CD’s maturity date. For CDs with terms of less than one year, you can make changes at any time during the term. If you don’t make any changes to your CD’s plan and it is set to auto-renew at maturity, you will have a 10-day grace period after your maturity date during which you can make changes, including closing your account and withdrawing all funds. However, if you do make changes to your plan and your CD renews with those changes, you won’t receive a grace period. In that case, your last time to make changes will be 8:30 pm ET on the day before your maturity date.  If you would like to make changes on your maturity date or during your 10-day grace period, please give us a call.

We’ll send you a reminder 30 days before your CD’s maturity date. And any time you make changes to your CD’s plan, we’ll send you a confirmation of the change. If your CD renews, we’ll send you and any joint owners (for a joint account) an email or letter with your CD’s new term, new rate and new maturity date.

For your convenience, our CD Maturity Center is available online 24/7. However, if you’d rather give us instructions by phone, you can call us toll-free at 1-855-730-SAVE (or 1-855-730-7283), Monday to Friday, 8 am – 10 pm ET, or Saturday to Sunday, 9 am – 7 pm ET.

$500

No. Partial withdrawals are not permitted from a No-Penalty CD. You may withdraw your full account balance  beginning seven days after funding.

We do not charge fees. Ever. If you pay late, pay less than your amount due or miss a payment, you’ll accumulate more interest and your final payment will be larger as a result. In addition, payments that are not paid in full and on time may result in an event of default under your Installment Loan Agreement. Late payments, partial payments, missed payments, or defaults on your loan may be reflected in your credit report.

Yes. You may change your due date up to three times during the life of your loan. Read here for more on how to change your payment due date.

If you are applying online, you may make the first change to your due date as part of the initial loan setup.

After your first loan due date, you will be able to make additional changes to your due date. Sometimes, your due date change will not apply to your upcoming due date. In these situations, you will need to make your upcoming payment on your previously scheduled due date and your due date change will take effect the following month. When you request a due date change, we will tell you when the change will take effect.

You cannot use this feature while you have any past due amounts outstanding, during any payment deferral or during your final monthly payment period.

Please refer to your Installment Loan Agreement (“ loan agreement”) for all of the rules regarding payment due date changes. You can find a copy of your loan agreement on your dashboard customer profile when you log-in to Marcus.com.

 

To consolidate debt with a personal loan, determine the amount you owe, take out a personal loan from Marcus for that amount, and use the loan amount to pay off your creditors.

A Marcus debt consolidation loan may be used to pay off things like credit card balances or financed purchases.

We use the daily simple interest method to calculate interest.

Below is information about how certain payments will affect your monthly payment, the amount of interest that you pay and the amount of your final payment.

• If you pay late, pay less than your amount due or miss a payment, you’ll accumulate more interest and your final payment will be larger as a result. In addition, payments that are not paid in full and on time may result in an event of default under your Installment Loan Agreement. Also, late payments, partial payments, missed payments, or defaults on your loan may be reflected in your credit report.
• If you make your monthly payment early or you pay more than your amount due, your future monthly payments will stay the same, but you will pay less interest and your final payment will be reduced as a result.

We take the heavy lifting out of paying down your credit card debt by sending your funds directly to your credit card companies only when you select debt consolidation as your reason for loan.

Anyone who chooses debt consolidation as the reason for their loan may be able to use Direct Payment for up to 10 credit cards. There’s no fee to use Direct Payment.

You can send all or some of the money to up to 10 of your credit cards as long as you selected debt consolidation as the reason for your loan. We’ll disburse anything that’s left over to your bank account.

With Direct Payment, you don’t have to wait for your funds to arrive to your bank account and then schedule one or more payments to your credit cards. Instead, you tell Marcus which cards you’d like to pay and we’ll send the money to your credit cards.

After you’re approved for a debt consolidation loan, we’ll ask if you’d like to use Direct Payment. If you say yes, tell us which credit cards you’d like to send money to and how much to send to each. There’s no fee to use Direct Payment.

Important: Marcus doesn’t control how or when your creditor will apply your funds to your balance, so you should keep making all required payments. Learn More About Direct Payment.

Credit card companies may receive your funds on the same business day, but it could take up to 4 business days.

Important: Marcus doesn’t have control over how or when your creditor will apply your funds to your balance, so you should keep making all required payments. Learn More About Direct Payment.

The on-time payment reward is a payment deferral feature for customers who consistently pay on time. After making 12 or more consecutive monthly payments in full and on time, you can defer one payment. At Marcus, we want to help our customers pay off their debt, so we offer the ability to defer payments without accruing additional interest or fees.

The on-time payment reward serves as a tool to help customers plan ahead and manage their monthly finances. We will not charge interest during the deferral, and we will extend your loan by one month (interest will accrue normally during this extra month). Your payments resume as usual the month after the deferral. If you miss a payment or pay late once, you can no longer use the feature for the life of your loan.

When you request a deferral, please note it needs to be done before 5 pm E.T. at least 16 days prior to your payment due date. If that date is a weekend or holiday, contact us on the business day prior. To defer a payment, please contact a Loan Specialist toll-free at 1-844-MARCUS2 (1-844-627-2872).

There is no maximum limit. After making 12 or more consecutive monthly payments in full and on time, you can defer one payment. After you use your deferral and make another 12 consecutive monthly payments in full and on time, you will be eligible for another payment deferral. See your loan agreement for details.

No. You can use it for any future payment so long as you continue to pay in full and on time.

AutoPay is an automatic payment tool that withdraws a regularly scheduled payment amount from your checking account. With AutoPay, you won't have to worry about forgetting a payment.
