Goldman Sachs’ foray into consumer #banking in 2016 was quickly heralded as (and seemed to be) a great success. A few days ago, the bank announced an almost $3 billion loss from that business. Let’s take a look.
Despite the initial skepticism, Marcus proved a huge success: by 2020, Marcus was one of the fastest-growing #digital #banks in the US with more than $80 billion in deposits and $5 billion in loans.
Aggressive pricing, state-of-the-art #technology, reliable customer service and a well-known brand name count among the reasons for the rise. Markus’ success was twice important because - on top of commercial reasons - it exemplified one thing: how traditional financial institutions (Goldman was founded in 1869) can adapt to the #digital age and compete with #fintech players.
Several things have gone wrong:
1) Goldman’s overly aggressive pricing (to gain market share) during the boom years
2) Poor risk #management with more than 25% of card loans going to financially weak customers and a provision rate at subprime levels
3) Expanding defaults as a result of the deteriorating macro environment
4) Bad management decisions such as the one to merge (previously independent) Marcus with the wealth management segment
5) Service quality (i.e. disputes over chargebacks) not being able to keep up with an increasing customer base.
The credit card business is traditionally a hard one to crack, more so for newcomers even if they are called #Goldman_Sachs. And there seems to be no way back for what was once hailed as one the company’s biggest successes. Timing and bad management decisions have proven – once more – an unbeatable combination.

Listen. If you’re tired of Cards Against Humanity getting repetitive, instead of using the white cards use the red cards from apples to apples as the answers to the black card prompts ;)
