Marcus by Goldman Sachs head Harit Talwar said: “For many who manage debt payments on high-interest rate credit cards, a straight-forward personal loan is a better solution.
“Marcus offers an option for consumers who are searching for a simpler alternative to credit card borrowing, where rates can change and multiple fees can be charged.”
Goldman Sachs is new to the consumer lending landscape. Earlier this year, the bank built its consumer banking business by acquiring GE Capital Bank's US online deposit platform and eventually launched an online-only savings bank named GS Bank.
