Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s consumer bank Marcus lowered the rate on its high-yield savings account for the first time in more than three years as investors are laser-focused on when the Federal Reserve will cut its lending benchmark.
The bank’s flagship product now offers a 4.4% annual percentage yield, down from 4.5% in March. It’s the first cut since November 2020, when Goldman lowered the rate from 0.6% to 0.5%, according to Bankrate.
