I opened a Marcus account last week.

No issues transferring about 80k from Ally to Marcus.

Why the switch from ally to Marcus?

Using Marcus for T Bill ladders. Ally limits withdraws from savings while Marcus doesn’t. I leave a little excess in there as buffer that I’d like to still earn decent interest.

Ally is still my primary savings

Any trouble with this? I want to link my HYSA to treasury direct but concerned about the time delays in transfers (takes 3-4 bd to get funds from checking to hysa)

No issues.

I treat Marcus as it’s own thing and don’t really transfer between it and my checking.

I have my own emergency fund at Ally if I need to transfer.
