      I have 400+k in my Marcus Saving account, with previous funds transferred in with no issue. However, Marcus blocked me from transferring out the funds which I plan to use for mortgage down payment.

      12/09 evening, I initiated a transfer to an external bank account linked using Plaids, which triggered my account to be locked. I passed the initial phone number pin verification. The agent told me a 3-party call was needed but I have to call back the next day due to the other bank closed.
      12/10 9AM, I called Marcus but cannot pass the pin verification anymore due to the system not allow my 3 phone numbers to be used. My account was fully locked and I lost all my access.

      I made 5+ calls to unlock my account. The initial provided solution was that Marcus mail a form for me to fill, sign, notarize, and ship back to them. How strange a total online banking does not allow online notarization service. It will take 10-20 business days as I was told, and it does not work for my 12/19 house closing day.

      After requested multiple times, 1:30 PM I finally got to talk to a manager called Chelsea A.. She confirmed that mail is the only solution and they don't provide the form in any other way. She also confirmed there is no legal process I can do with my lawyer.

      I was completely desperate after my call with her, I even thought about very bad thing to do to myself. However, on 12/11 my partner came across the same form on public Marcus website after google search. Another agent Tundra kindly confirmed that online form is what I need to send back to Marcus, so I got it notarized and shipped it out.

      Chelsea said to mail out the form on 12/10 or 12/11, but today is 12/12 the form still wasn't shipped. She also failed to point me to the online form that I found later on Marcus website. The identity verification process should get done when creating account instead of when I urgently need the fund. This completely broke the trust and I find no reason to stay with a virtual bank.

      Marcus
      by Goldman Sachs, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”), received the
      above-referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on
      December 12, 2022. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns
      raised by ** **** (the “Customer”) related to the transfer of funds from an
      Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On December
      9, 2022, the Customer initiated an outgoing ACH transfer from their OSA to an
      unverified external account. Later the same day, the Bank attempted to verify
      the external account ownership via a three-way call however, the external
      institution was closed. The agent was unable to verify the external account and
      advised the Customer to call back when the external bank is open. Accordingly,
      per the Bank’s Deposit Account Agreement, the Bank restricted the OSA.
      On
      December 10, 2022, the Customer contacted the Bank and attempted to verify
      their identity via a One-Time Pin verification which was unsuccessful. As an
      alternative to remove the security concerns the Bank requested the Customer
      complete and return an Affidavit of Identity (“AOI”). Once an AOI is received,
      the Bank will conduct an ownership verification of the unverified external
      account, clear security concerns and unlock the account.
      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly request this complaint to be closed.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Hi there, yes after my account was unlocked today, the day of my home closing day.

      And on this day with the supervisor's help I initiated a wire transfer to my verified external bank account, and my wire transfer has been stalled since then.

      Law requires the wire transfer to be done on the same day, also does GS promise. However, this was not the case for me, and now 8:25PM and the transfer initiated this morning hasn't been completed. I missed the deadline 3:15 PM which is the deadline for me to close my home, now I have to delay to an uncertain date.

       

      I was told by the agent that my transfer request will need to go through a 2nd review with a target timeline of EOD today. I feel my money is taken as hostage now and I have to constantly push GS for mundane banking task.


      I want to know why my wire transfer to my own external account was stalled even my identify was been verified, and GS knew I'm in a very urgent situation.





      Sincerely,

      ** ****

      above-referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on
      December 20, 2022. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the additional
      concerns raised by ** **** (the “Customer”) related to the transfer of funds
      from an Online Savings Account (“OSA”).


      As
      stated in the Bank’s previous response, the Bank required an Affidavit of
      Identity (“AOI”) to clear security concerns with the customer’s identity. On
      December 19, 2022, the Customer’s AOI was reviewed and approved; therefore, the
      Bank restored the Customer’s online banking access. The same day, the Customer
      initiated a wire transfer to an external account. On December 21, 2022, after
      clearing security concerns with the transfer, the outgoing wire processed
      successfully. The Bank has provided the Customer a goodwill credit for their
      experience.


      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly request this complaint to be closed.

      I have my money at your bank roughly $768,000. I tried to send a wire for $700,000 to another bank with the account in my name and it was denied. I tried again it was denied. It's my money I don't get why I'm able to send a wire. If I need to just close the entire account please let me know. I tried to do that as well but that was denied. as well. Your customer service person ********* last name starts with an A said he could not let me speak with anybody and hung up the phone on me. Just a terrible way of doing business. This has to be illegal, denying me access to my money

      I applied and was approved for their GM Rewards Credit card on August 13, 2022. I applied for the card based on the advertisement of ****** points (i.e. $150) to my GM Rewards account #3-94338579474 for meeting $1000 in spend in the first 3 months of card ownership. I met the conditions on September 3, ****. Despite numerous supplications with GS and GM, neither party has resolved the issue nor provided me my points. Ive been told numerous times that I am eligible to receive the bonus, but they keep lying and stating that I will be contacted and receive the spend bonus with my next statement, which invariably comes with no bonus. Both GS and GM refuse to resolve the issue.

      I received an email From: Marcus by Goldman Sachs Savings <********************************************>Same day transfers are now possible Customer since: March 2019 Hi *****,Weve made an improvement at Marcus that could make moving your money easier:When you schedule a transfer of $100,000 or less by 12 pm ET on a business day, Marcus will complete the transfer by 5 pm ET that day.Theres no extra step, no extra box to check. You schedule the transfer at marcus.com or on the Marcus app, and we do the rest.This is also at ************************************************* Transfer funds between your Marcus savings accounts and a linked external bank account.

I had called and alerted allamerica.com to watch for these funds, but they DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL Friday 11-25-22, 2days later.I earned 0% interest for those days. I believe an issue was the delay caused by a call I received from a Marcus rep at ~ 11:45 am est wed 11-23-22, to discuss if I really wanted to move my funds out of Marcus and why I was doing this. I explained to the rep to please get these transfers submitted ASAP as it was then minutes until the cutoff time. He insisted on continuing the conversation.I called Marcus many times on 12-25-22 and in the following week, waited thru long hold times, & requested the 4% int of $34.18 Marcus sup ******* at Fri 11-25-22 said a credit could be given,case# ************.

      I have a GM rewards credit card of which servicing was transferred to Marcus by Goldman Sachs. In December 2022 I attmepted to make a payment to the credit card account and the payment system was down. I left a message on their chat system and recieved a reply a day later. My account was then given a late payment fee due to the Marcus systems inability to process my payment.I brought this up with their Chat system online and was directed to call their service representatives. I called their service representatives and escalated it to a manager, which stated my late fee could not be waived. I believe this is an unfair business practice as the reason palyment was late is due to Marcus not being able to process payment.My fear is they will report the issue Marcus caused to credit agencies as their wiaver review process can take between ***** days.I would like the fee immediately waived.

      Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 8, 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***************************** (the Customer) related to payment system issue, credit reporting and a late fee.
      The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no bank error. There were no recorded system outages on or around the Customers due date of December 2, 2022, that prevented payments from being processed. The Customer chatted in on December ****** and was incorrectly informed there was an error with the system on December 5, 2022. A payment was not received by the due date of December 2,2022, resulting in a late fee of $40.00. To avoid late fees, a payment for the minimum payment due needs to be received before the due date. As a courtesy the Bank has provided a onetime statement credit of the late fee of $40.00 on December 14, 2022.
      Accounts are not reported late to the credit reporting agencies unless an account is 30 or more days past due. The account has not been reported late, as a payment was received before the 30-day time frame of being past due.

      Based on the above details, we kindly request this complaint to be closed.

      On November 1, 2022, I attempted to pay my monthly minimum payment. The online account system said no payment was due. I clicked to pay, and the system did not provide a minimum payment amount due and again said no payment was due. I've made multiple attempts to resolve with customer service in chat and by phone. A ticket was filed and a supervisor named Claire called me back and left a message with an incorrect callback number. I chatted in and found again that the company will not waive the illegitimate fee and refuses to allow me to speak to anyone who can.

      I want the fee waived as it is not owed. Had the system indicated I owed a payment, I would have paid it.

      I am not liable for this debt with Goldman Sachs Bank and do not have a contract with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. They do not provide me with the original application like I asked.

      In 2021 I opened a Savings Account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs, during the time the account was opened I deposited approximately $1300 into the account. In Spring of 2022 I traveled for work and upon return I received word from my assistant that my account had been locked. When I contacted their customer service they advised they would send me an email within 2-3 business days and I would be all set. After a week of waiting for correspondence I called back and was told there was potential fraud on my account as some of the account information had been changed and refused to provide me with any more information. After speaking with my assistant (who manages several of my accounts for a non-profit and a local utility workers union Local 470-1) she admitted she had made changes online to my Marcus account in error thinking that account held the funds for Local 470-1. I called Marcus again and attempted to explain what occured, they advised my account was closed and they asked that I submit a Affidavit of Identity. First they sent it to the wrong address (a PO Box) then when they finally sent it to my home and I submitted it, I had to call multiple times and was disconnected repeatedly only for them to advise the notarized stamp was not "clear". They sent me another form which I have since had notarized once again confirming my identity, along with a picture of my CT drivers license and passport, as well as a photo of myself holding up my license next to my face. When I called today- I was hung up on after speaking with the first agent, Victoria who confirmed my documents arrived 12/5. I called back and spoke with Quinetta who placed me on hold 3 times and advised I call back in 2-3 business days. I have been going back and forth with them since May, and while my account has been locked I have lost out on interest being accrued. At this point I want the account unlocked and a check issued for my balance.

      Marcus
      by Goldman Sachs, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”), received the
      above referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on December
      6, 2022. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by
      ******* ******** (the “Customer”) related to restrictions placed on an Online
      Savings Account (“OSA”).


      On May
      6, 2022, the Customer linked an external bank account to their Account profile via
      the Bank’s website. However, the Bank identified security concerns, and in accordance
      with the Deposit Account Agreement (“DAA”), the Bank removed the linked
      external account and restricted the Customer’s Account. The Bank also identified that the linked external account was a business account, which per
      the DAA, may not be linked to an Account at the Bank. On May 10, 2022, the Bank
      attempted to contact the Customer to provide assistance but could not make
      contact.

      On June
      20, 2022, due to the unresolved security concerns, the Bank closed the OSA and
      moved the funds to a temporary holding account. However, the next day, the
      Customer contacted the Bank, and after verifying the Customer’s identity via a
      One-Time Pin, the Bank reopened the OSA and posted the funds to the Account. However,
      due to remaining security concerns, the Bank required additional verification before
      the account could be unrestricted.


      On July
      5, 2022, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding the restriction. To remove
      the restriction, the Bank requested the Customer complete and return an
      Affidavit of Identity (“AOI”). Prior to sending an AOI to the Customer, the
      Bank required an updated Customer address, as a PO BOX is invalid per Bank’s
      DAA. On July 15, 2022, the Bank mailed an AOI to the Customer’s physical
      address, which the Bank received on August 23, 2022. However, the authenticity
      of the notary could not be verified, and the Bank mailed a new AOI to the Customer.
      The Bank received the AOI on December 05, 2022, and subsequently approved.


      On
      December 12, 2022, the Customer contacted the Bank and requested to close the
      OSA via check. The Bank has closed the account, and the Customer can expect to
      receive the check within 7-10 business days. The Bank can confirm that all
      interest was applied to the account balance for the dates the account was
      closed.


      Based on
      the above details, we kindly request this complaint be closed.

      I have had two erroneous charges placed on my credit card account/statement. It has been going on for over 6 months and they continue to tell my I placed the orders and/or bought the product, neither to which I have. Both are charges that either placed or occurred out of state, neither of which I have even been to. I have spent hours on the phone with them along with sending numerous letters. To no avail they continue to tell me I authorized and owed the money.
