Savings.
When you enroll in the Savings feature we can help you save towards one or more savings goals designated by you. By enrolling in Savings, the Savings feature will automatically withdraw funds from a linked bank account that you select during enrollment, in the amount and in such frequency (such as one-time, weekly or monthly) as you designate during enrollment, subject to the Marcus Electronic Fund Transfer “EFT” Authorization to which you agree when you enroll in Savings. Your funds will be transferred to your Marcus Online Savings Account as described below.
If you choose to make a one-time deposit, the Savings feature will automatically withdraw funds from your linked bank account to your Marcus Online Savings Account on or after the date you designate. If you enroll in recurring transfers, the Savings feature will continue to automatically withdraw funds from your linked bank account to your Marcus Online Savings Account unless you tell us to stop or your participation in Savings terminates. In either instance, if your transfer is not able to be processed (e.g., if there are insufficient funds in your linked account or your Marcus Online Saving Account is closed), we may cancel your transfer instructions. You are solely responsible for ensuring your selected bank account has sufficient funds for each withdrawal at the time such funds are withdrawn. Your transfer may not be processed if we cannot determine that there are sufficient funds available in your selected bank account at the time such funds are withdrawn and we bear no liability for dishonoring a transfer if we do not believe you have sufficient funds to cover it. You are also responsible for ensuring each savings amount designated by you is appropriate for your particular situation. If you do not have sufficient funds in your selected bank account, you may incur an insufficient funds or overdraft fee from your bank, and we bear no liability for any fee that may be imposed by your bank.
The Savings feature will transfer your funds to your Marcus Online Savings Account and you will earn the stated annual percentage yield according to the Marcus Deposit Account Agreement. We do not charge any fees to use this feature. You remain the legal owner of the funds held in your Online Savings Account and those funds may be used subject to the Marcus Deposit Account Agreement. We have no interest in or ownership of your Online Savings Account.
Your Savings funds will be transferred to your Marcus Online Savings Account in an interest-bearing account we have established for you at Goldman Sachs Bank USA. Funds deposited in the Online Savings Account are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum allowed by law, which is currently $250,000 for an individually-owned account and $250,000 per owner for jointly owned accounts. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. For questions about FDIC insurance coverage, you may call the FDIC at 877-275-3342 or visit the FDIC’s site at www.fdic.gov.
Your Savings funds will remain in your Marcus Online Savings Account until you withdrawal them subject to the Marcus Deposit Account Agreement. You may check your Online Savings Account balance and manage your transfers by accessing your Savings through the Service or visiting www.marcus.com. We may terminate your participation in Savings without notice to you if we are required to do so under applicable law or by any government agency, or if we, in our sole discretion, suspect that your use of Savings is for illicit purposes or otherwise is in violation of these Terms.

Please direct copyright infringement notifications to our DMCA agent by email to gs-copyrights@gs.com (please include “Notice of Infringement” in the subject line) or by mail to Copyright Manager, Clarity Money, Inc., 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282.
