Features each bank states
✓ means the bank's official sources (its website, help center or official app store listing) state it, with the quote and page shown. ✕ means those sources say the bank doesn't offer it. We never mark a feature ✕ just because a page doesn't mention it. Each mark links to the page it came from; the quotes are on each app's own page.

Sources and dates

- App Store facts, privacy and accessibility labels, screenshots and icon: App Store listing and Apple's iTunes Lookup API, checked Nov 12, 2026.
- Google Play rating and update date: Google Play listing, checked Oct 25, 2026.
- Features, from Marcus by Goldman Sachs's official sources: marcus.com/us/en/faqs, marcus.com/us/en/marcus-mobile-banking-app.
- marcus.com answers direct requests from this session with a security challenge (403). On 2026-10-25 the Marcus app page and FAQs were read through the r.jina.ai reader, which fetches the official page as is; each feature cites the official URL. The app page says 'Does the Marcus app support mobile check deposits or loan payments by check? At this time, we can only accept checks by US Mail.', so mobile check deposit is recorded as not offered. The FAQs say 'At this time, we do not offer a debit card or ATM card for Marcus savings accounts.', so card lock and Apple Pay or Google Pay are recorded as not offered too (there is no card to lock or add to a wallet). Alerts, spending insights, a virtual assistant and a credit score are not stated on the app page, FAQs or Security Center.
- On 2026-10-25 a second pass read the Marcus FAQs again through the r.jina.ai reader. Under 'Can I send a wire transfer to a third party?' they say 'At this time, we are only able to send wire transfer requests to an account that you own at another bank. We are not able to send or make payments to a third party.' The same FAQs say an external account must be in your name and owned by you, so sending money to people is recorded as not offered.
- The app is live in the US App Store (developer Goldman Sachs, last updated 2026-10-06) and on Google Play, so it is kept in the set with its store data.
