147-Year-Old Goldman Sachs Celebrates First Year in Retail Following the Launch of Goldman Sachs Bank USA’s Online Deposits Platform

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Goldman
Sachs Bank USA’s
(“GS Bank”) online deposit platform’s visitor
activity, deposits and new accounts have grown significantly throughout
the first year as a result of how strongly the Goldman Sachs’ brand is
resonating with main street America. Following the acquisition
of the online deposit platform from GE Capital Bank
(“GECB”) a year
ago, the business has added $4 billion in online deposits without
significant marketing. The growth is attributed to consumers looking for
value, superior customer service and the association with the Goldman
Sachs brand.

The online deposit platform offers an online savings account with a
1.05% Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”)*, which is currently above the
national savings average** , allowing GS Bank to offer customers a
savings advantage over many traditional banks. The online savings
account also requires no minimum deposit to open and only a $1 balance
to receive access to the APY. GS Bank’s online platform also offers
certificates of deposit, from six months to six years, with a minimum
deposit of only $500.

“We believe our growth over the past year is a strong indication of how
well our offering is resonating with consumers,” said Stephen Scherr,
CEO of GS Bank and Goldman Sachs Chief Strategy Officer. “We look
forward to continuing to give our customers access to the rates, tools
and services that help them save.”

In the past year, GS Bank’s Online Savings Account has been named “Best
Stand-Alone Account for Savings” by MONEY®
Magazine
*** ‘Best Banks’ 2016 for having no maintenance fees and no
minimum balance, as well as listed as one of the “Best Deals in Online
Banking 2016—Hassle Free Savings” by Kiplinger’s
Personal Finance**** ‘The Best List’ 2016. GS Bank’s online deposit
platform is one of two offerings from GS Bank within its new consumer
digital business. The other is Marcus
by Goldman Sachs™
,
an online platform offering personal loans.
These products combine the benefits of online consumer banking with the
firm’s 147- year history of financial expertise, risk management and
customer service. For more information about GS Bank and its savings
