Marcus Acquires Fintech Firms to Become Dominant Banking Power

In the past six years, Marcus has used an acquisition strategy to create a digital platform for consumer loans, credit cards, high-yield savings, automated investing, as well as providing tools to help consumers manage their finances. Most recently, Goldman Sachs completed the acquisition of GreenSky, growing the customer base of Marcus to over 13 million customers. With a no-fee, interest bearing checking account expected still in 2022, Marcus wants to be the primary bank for millions of people. Swati Bhatia, partner and head of direct-to-consumer business at Marcus is our guest on the Banking Transformed podcast. Swati discusses the continued product expansion of Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and how Marcus intends to become a dominant force in the retail banking.
