Saga launches new savings products with Marcus by Goldman Sachs

Saga plc ("Saga") today launches two new savings products with its recently appointed savings partner, Marcus by Goldman Sachs. The two specialist products provide customers with the ability to make the most of their everyday savings without sacrificing interest rates.

Exclusively available direct from Saga, both products benefit from Saga's telephone support service for customers and access to its membership programme, Saga Possibilities.

Lance Batchelor, Chief Executive Officer of Saga said: "We are excited to collaborate with Marcus by Goldman Sachs to offer our customers these exciting new savings products. Our strategic partnership with Marcus by Goldman Sachs supports our commitment to delivering highly differentiated, competitively priced products designed to meet the unique needs of our over 50s customers."
