Why doesn’t Marcus by Goldman Sachs offer personal loans anymore?

Marcus hasn’t publicly disclosed why it shut its doors on personal loan products. However, a 2022 Bloomberg report asserts that the online branch of Goldman Sachs Bank has been scaling back its consumer lending division. “Consumer lending is being reigned in,” the report read. “While the bank will keep credit-card partnerships, it will be very selective about adding to the list.”

As of now, Marcus will continue to offer saving accounts and credit cards through its online portal.
