Aug 11, 2019

The rate on Marcus's 13 Month No Penalty CD product, which BestCashCow had strongly recommended since its launch late in 2018 at 2.35%, has fallen to 2.15% APY.   Marcus has also added a 7-month No Penalty product at 2.25% and a 11-month No Penalty product at 2.20%.   We don't find these products as compelling.   See all online special term CDs here.

Apr 22, 2022

Marcus became more competitive overnight, raising their savings rate by 10 bps.   It also raised its no penalty CD to 0.75 APY.  The CDs are especially attractive versus its major competitors with its 5-year online CD at 2.15% APY and its 2 and 3 year CDs at 1.60 APY.  We however urge caution around the CDs, except the No Penalty ones that can be broken without penalty after 2 weeks.  Online rates are heading much higher soon and you can already purchase US Treasury of the same duration with higher yields.

    Online CDs 24 Month Rates

    The idea that they aren't competing is wrong. They'll give you 1% more on your savings if you run around promoting their brand and get a friend to sign up. Great marketing scheme actually, since those so inclined will be blasting a code through social media and hyping the brand for which they will receive a max of about $750 in compensation. And, those not able to get the extra 1% will try anyway over Labor Day and still help them build brand equity.

    completely crazy that they aren't competing. tumin over at DA pointed out that the last time that fed funds was 1.50 to 1.75, Marcus was at 1.50%.. now they are at 1% and will give you an extra 5 bps if you play around with their np cd. time to move out of this one and say so long.

    Online Savings Rates

    Goldman Sachs or Marcus is a dependable brand that always stays competitive and focuses on the user experience. This is more than I can say for the others on this list. Plus, look for their No Penalty CD option as a nice way to make a little more on your cash while surrendering liquidity for only 10 days.
