"Marcus by Goldman Sachs Launches in the UK"

"LONDON, 27 September 2018 — Marcus by Goldman Sachs®&nbsp;has launched today in the UK with an easy-access savings account. The new online bank intends to offer savers a consistently competitive interest rate, which starts today at 1.50% AER*.\r\nCreated with customers at its heart, an account with Marcus is transparent, secure, and easy-to-use. Available to UK residents over the age of 18, savers can deposit from £1 to £250,000 – and withdraw their money as many times as they like, with no fees or charges. The account is managed online, but telephone support is available from a UK-based specialist customer care team week-days (excluding bank holidays) from 8am to 8pm.\r\nKey Products and Specifications:\r\nAccount type:&nbsp;Easy-access savings account \r\nInterest rate:&nbsp;1.5% AER* \r\nNotice Term:&nbsp;None \r\nMinimum savings:&nbsp;£1 \r\nMaximum savings:&nbsp;£250,000 \r\nAccount opening:&nbsp;Online\r\nMarcus combines Goldman Sachs’ 149-years of financial expertise and risk management with great customer service and the innovation and approach of an agile tech company to help customers manage their money easily and effectively. Marcus has been available in the US since 2016.\r\nSpeaking about the launch, Des McDaid, Managing Director at Marcus by Goldman Sachs said: “Over the last decade savers have been on the wrong end of low interest rates. We’ve spoken in-depth to people across the country and there is a real disillusionment about savings – while most UK adults are diligently trying to save every month, some do not even have a savings account, with low interest rates and complexity being put to blame.\r\n“We want to reverse the trend – literally putting the interest back into savings and make saving worthwhile again.\r\n“We’ve made the Marcus Online Savings Account as easy as possible to open and manage online, and with our aim to offer a consistently competitive interest rate, we hope our customers will see the benefits - and how, over time, this can add up to help them get to their saving goals that bit quicker.”\r\nMarcus is named after one of the original founders of Goldman Sachs, Marcus Goldman.\r\nTo open a Marcus Online Savings Account, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.marcus.co.uk/\">www.marcus.co.uk</a>.\r\n<h5>* Variable includes a 12 month bonus rate of 0.15%</h5>\r\n \r\nAbout Goldman Sachs \r\nThe Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and individuals.
