I’ve been happy with Marcus! Pretty easy to transfer between BOA and their platform. No fees really and their app interface is nice/easy to navigate. Let me know if you have any questions/would want a referral.

Hey, out of curiosity, has anyone actually gotten a referral bonus for a financial product from someone they’ve met on fishbowl? I’ve been trying to cap my Marcus MM referral bonuses too but can’t get anyone on here. Lol

Open a SoFi savings account with direct deposit to get the $250 bonus. Once you get the bonus, move your funds to Wealthfront for 3.3% APY

I would say Marcus and Ally are basically the same. Sofi seems to have a little higher rate but have never really looked at it. I have had Ally for years and it is very easy to use. I have not considered moving for a small benefit.

I have Ally and enjoy it, I like the buckets feature so I can split my savings up for what I need/ want. Don’t think I’d change for any other, but have heard good things about Marcus too.
