Marcus by Goldman Sachs Online Savings pays 3.50% APY as of November 11, 2026, which Marcus describes as 8 times the national average, and it charges no fees with no minimum deposit. The feature that sets it apart from most online banks is speed: Marcus offers same-day transfers of $100,000 or less to and from other banks, and interest starts on the day you initiate a deposit transfer. Support runs around the clock through a contact center open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the page cites a J.D. Power ranking of first in customer satisfaction among high-yield savings accounts from online-only banks. A referral program adds a 1.00% APY boost for 3 months. The limits are worth knowing: the disclosure says maximum balance limits apply, and the page does not describe goal buckets or automatic round ups. If you want a simple, fee-free account that gets money in and out quickly, Marcus is the strongest bank-issued option after EverBank.
