To send money from your linked account, you can just make a transfer the way you usually do from your current account. Use your Marcus account number and sort code and put your own name as the payment reference.
Extra verification
When you send a payment from your linked account, you may be shown an extra verification step. This is a new scheme introduced by some banks that automatically confirms whether the account you’re trying to send money to is in the name of your intended payee.
The scheme is in its first phase, and we’re not included in that, but provided you’ve checked the details you’ve entered and you’re happy that they’re correct, you can still continue with your payment.
When you make a transfer to your Marcus account, you should check:
- You’ve entered your full name correctly, as it appears on your Marcus account.
- The sort code is displayed as 40-64-37 and shows Goldman Sachs International Bank.
- Your Marcus account number is correct.
How long a transfer takes
When you add money by bank transfer, it should arrive in your Marcus account as soon as we’ve received it. This tends to be within two hours if your linked account provider uses Faster Payments. You’ll start earning interest on the same day we receive your money.
If you add money using a bank transfer over the weekend, it could take until the end of Monday to show in your Marcus account depending on when we receive it. Please allow extra time on bank holidays.
