Your rate will vary depending on many factors, like the information you provided, the loan amount, loan term, and information from your credit report. Additionally, your rate remains fixed for the life of your loan.

Debt consolidation loans may be used to pay off things like credit card balances, medical bills or financed purchases.

An annual percentage rate (or APR) is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly rate. It generally includes interest and certain other fees you pay above your original loan principal, but Marcus never charges fees. Ever. That means when you take out a loan with us, the only thing you pay is your principal and interest.

We use the daily simple interest method to calculate interest. That means, interest is charged every day on the principal balance that is outstanding and you only pay interest for the number of days that your loan is outstanding. 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.

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.

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

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.

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 (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 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.

The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) reflects both the total amount of interest to be paid on the account, plus the accrued compounded interest the account would earn during the 365/366-day period—simply put, APY is the projected interest earned if the account is untouched for the year. More frequent compounding leads to more earned interest. Marcus compounds interest daily.

Annual Percentage Yield Earned (APYE) is similar to APY, but it is the actual amount of interest earned rather than the projected amount earned.

At Marcus, we take your security seriously.

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.

Check Deposits

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.

Other Checks: For all types of checks other than Special Checks, up to $200 will be available the next Business Day after the day of your deposit and the remainder, up to $5,000, will be available the second Business Day after the day of your deposit, unless an exception applies or you are a “New Customer” (see below for special rules for New Customers).

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
• We believe a check you deposit will not be paid
• There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of the above reasons and we will tell you when the funds will be available. Funds will generally be available no later than the sixth Business Day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Customers
You are generally considered a New Customer during the first 30 days after you open your first account. For New Customers depositing all types of checks other than Special Checks, up to $200 will be available the next Business Day after the day of deposit, and the remainder will be available on the sixth Business Day after the day of your deposit, unless an exception applies.

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. First, we’ll require an original or certified copy of the death certificate 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 that 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.

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.

Account owners can enroll in paperless statements for all accounts. With respect to joint accounts, only primary account owners may enroll in paperless statements at the time of account opening. If you agreed to the eSign Agreement when you opened your account, you are automatically enrolled in paperless statements. You can change your statement preferences by calling us toll-free at 1-855-730-SAVE (1-855-730-7283) Monday to Friday from 8 am – 10 pm E.T. and Saturday to Sunday from 9 am – 7 pm E.T. to access your account.

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

Interest is compounded daily and credited to your Account monthly. 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. Interest begins to accrue on the business day that we receive your deposit.

The minimum deposit is $500.

There are three ways you can add money to your CD Account:

#1 Transfer funds from a Marcus Online Savings Account or a linked external bank account.

Note: If you do not fund your CD with at least the minimum deposit of $500 within 30 days from opening your CD, we may close your account.

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 be added to the principal balance of your CD. You also have the option to withdraw penalty-free any interest credited to your account at any time during the term of the CD. If you’d prefer, 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 (7283) to set up interest disbursement. 

We will send you a Maturity Notice before your CD’s maturity date. There is a 10-day grace period during which you may withdraw principal without penalty or renew your CD with the same term. You may also close your CD and open a new one with a different term. The grace period begins on the day after the CD maturity date and runs for ten days (maturity date plus 10 days). To make changes or close your CD, please call us at 1-855-730-SAVE (7283) during the 10-day grace period.

If you do not contact us by the end of the 10-day grace period (and we do not send you a notice of non-renewal), 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.

You are not permitted to withdraw a portion of your principal at any time prior to maturity. If you withdraw the entire principal amount 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). 

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 call us toll-free at 1-855-730-SAVE (7283), Monday to Friday from 8 am – 10 pm E.T. and Saturday to Sunday from 9 am – 7 pm E.T.

To build a CD ladder, simply open a combination of Marcus CDs with varying maturity dates.

For example: If you have $20,000 to invest over four years, you would open a 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year CD and fund with $5,000 each. At the end of each term, you would renew the maturing CDs into a new 4-year CD. By choosing to ladder, you are able to take advantage of the higher long-term rates.

Call us toll-free at 1-855-730-SAVE (7283), Monday to Friday from 8 am – 10 pm E.T. and Saturday to Sunday from 9 am – 7 pm E.T. to learn more.

You have 30 days from the day you open your CD account (opening day plus 30 days) to fully fund your CD. You are not permitted to deposit additional funds into your CD account after it has been open for more than 30 days from the day of opening.

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 you reach the $500 minimum (for a new account) or seven days after the 10-day grace period has passed (for a renewal). 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 $500 or more, we can’t accept any more funds into that account. For a High-Yield CD, funds can be added to the account for 30 days after opening.  

$500

No. Partial withdrawals are not permitted from a No-Penalty CD. You may withdraw your full balance plus all the interest you’ve earned beginning seven days after funding.

You may withdraw penalty-free the full balance of your No-Penalty CD, including principal and interest earned, after a seven-day hold period, starting on the day you fund your CD. No withdrawals of principal will be permitted during the seven-day hold period.

Once the balance of your No-Penalty CD reaches $500 or more, you may not make additional deposits. (This is different from our High-Yield CD, which you can continue to add to during the first 30 days, even after reaching the minimum balance.)

You can withdraw the entire balance plus all interest earned beginning seven days after your No-Penalty CD is funded. If you withdraw your funds, the account will be closed.

Note: partial withdrawals of principal are not allowed.

Yes

To close your No-Penalty CD, go to your Account Detail page and click ‘Close this account.' If your account is eligible for withdrawal (beginning 7 days after the day of funding), we’ll confirm your balance and ask where you’d like to transfer your funds (to another Marcus account or to 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 (7283).

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 may be withdrawn anytime beginning seven days after funding (new account) or seven days after the 10-day grace period (rollover account). High-Yield CD has an early withdrawal penalty if the balance is withdrawn before the maturity date.
• Deposits. Once a No-Penalty CD is funded with $500 or more, additional funds may not be added. For a High-Yield CD, funds can be added during the first 30 days after opening.  

• Minimum balance to open. Online Savings Account: $0. No-Penalty CD: $500.
• Rate. Our Online Savings Account has a flexible rate that can change at any time. The No-Penalty CD has a fixed rate that will not change during the CD term.
• Withdrawals. With an Online Savings Account, withdrawals can be made at any time (maximum of six electronic withdrawals per month). With the No-Penalty CD, you have the option to make a one-time withdrawal of your full balance, plus all interest earned, prior to maturity.
• Account Closing. An Online Savings Account may be closed at any time. A No-Penalty CD may be closed anytime beginning seven days after funding (new account) or seven days after the 10-day grace period (rollover account).

You may add up to six beneficiaries. A beneficiary must be a natural person; you may not name a trust or other entity as a beneficiary. To add or remove a beneficiary, log in to your account and select Manage beneficiaries. You can also call us toll-free at 1-855-730-SAVE (7283), Monday to Friday from 8 am – 10 pm E.T. and Saturday to Sunday from 9 am – 7 pm E.T.

We will need the following information when adding beneficiaries:

• Beneficiary name
• Beneficiary date of birth
• Beneficiary Social Security Number/Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
• Beneficiary address
• Beneficiary phone number

We only accept natural persons as Pay-on-Death beneficiaries for your accounts. You may not name a trust or other entity as beneficiary. There is a limit of 6 beneficiaries per account.
