My cousin and I opened a CD and a savings account at Marcus May 2024.
We only found out that the accounts were closed when an email and a letter were sent stating that and no explanation was given. Numerous calls and unhelpful and incompetent workers at Marcus have not resolved the issue and they keep saying the same thing that in 7-10 business days a check will come. They are told to tell every customer that they are not allowed to provide anymore information. Their business conduct is fraudulent and have caused enormous stress on so many people in addition to consumer time wasted and high levels of stress. They are intentionally closing accounts and withholding people’s money. I want this bank to be closed by FDIC, fined and return people’s money !!! Everyone that has written a complaint on BBB have gone through a real nightmare. Consumers need help !!!Business Response

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 June 23, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by Nicolas ********** (the “Customer”) related to the closure of their jointly owned Certificate of Deposit (“CD”).
According to Bank records, on February 13, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding a recent application submitted. During the call, a Bank specialist attempted to authenticate the Customer’s identity; however, the Customer could not be identified. As a result, the Bank declined the application. On that same call, the Customer informed the Bank specialist that a CD account was opened without their authorization. Subsequently, the Bank specialist opened an investigation into the Customer’s concerns and restricted the CD account.
The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding the CD account. On the call, the Customer advised the Bank specialist that they did authorize the opening of this account and being added as a joint owner. However, the Bank specialist did not restore the Customer’s online banking access following the call. In addition, due to inadvertent Bank errors, the Bank closed the Customer’s CD.
After further review, on June 24, 2025, the Bank restored the Customer’s online banking access, re-opened the CD and credited the funds back to the account with appropriate interest.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Initial Complaint

I have an online savings account with **********************************************************************************************. I have been a customer since 2019. On 6/19/2025 I received an email to call them asap for reasons that sounded ominous but nothing remotely concrete.I called and they right off the bat locked my account and from a low budget offshore customer service site they claimed they couldn't verify that I was the customer and after numerous calls and interactions with 6 or more **** absolutely no progress was ever made. After 6 years no issues. Then from out of the blue THEY sent me the e-mail and started this whole process without any reason. I have approximately $10598.00 in my account and nothing was ever wrong. Goldman Sachs seems to be doing this deliberately to close accounts that don't generate enough revenue or whatever. Thank YouBusiness Response

referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on June 21,
2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by Kevin
Fagin (the "Customer”) related to accessing their Online Savings Account
(“OSA”).
On June 18, 2025, the
Bank received a withdrawal request from the Customer’s OSA to an external
account. During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security
concerns regarding the transaction, declined the transfer, and restricted the
account. The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their
account access and confirmed the transfer had been initiated without the proper
authorization. During the call, a Bank specialist attempted to secure the
account, but the attempt was not successful. Unfortunately, the Customer
experienced a delay in accessing their account.
On June 25, 2025, the
Customer contacted the Bank regarding their OSA. To resolve the security
concerns, a Bank specialist verified the Customer’s identity utilizing
alternative methods. During the call, the Customer requested to close their
account with funds transferring to a linked account. The following day, the
Bank successfully processed the closure as requested.

My mother passed away so I had to send in certified original documents from the probate court and death certificate to close her account and get a check for the money in it. I sent in those documents and requested they be returned in February 2025. I received the check in March, but my documents did not arrive. Since then, I have had to call Marcus over 15 times to figure out the status of my documents. I need them to open up an estate bank account to cash their check
I was repeatedly assured that the matter should be resolved in 7-10 days. Four months later, that is still not the case. On Monday, June 9, they finally said they located and mailed those documents back to me via FedEx. However, FedEx has no record of receiving those documents. These critical documents, some of which contain sensitive data like my mom's death certificate, are now missing. I think they have been lying about the whereabouts of the documents for months now.
I am requesting that they send a courier to the Santa Clara County Court to order the court documents that I lost and have them delivered to me. I am also requesting they compensate me with lost interest from the several months during which I have been unable to cash the check they sent due to the lost documents.Business Response

My father passed away in March of 2025. I've sent certificate of death as well as notorized copies of the trust documents (as i am a trustee).
After i sent the documents, i was contacted for the verification of address. A week later i was contacted again and they stated that i need to send court documents (?). All other financial institutions gave me no issues at all once i provided the death certificate and the trust papers. Marcus is giving me the run around and contradictory information. This has now been going on for months. I've asked for a supervisor to reach out to me to explain the exact situation, but despite telling me that one would contact me promptly, that has yet to happen.
I find myself forced to retain legal counsel due to Marcus' inability (unwillingness?) to distribute the trust funds despite providing the legal paperwork.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because while i have finally received a check, there is no explanation on whether this a check of the overall amount that was into that account or if it is a beneficary distribution check. Furthermore, there was neither copies of account statements or tax documents for 2024/25 as originally requested. I have asked for these documents multiple times to finalize my father's tax return.

Complaint: 23492439
I am rejecting this response because:1) Goldman Sachs continues to refuse giving me financial statements for 2024/25 so that i can verify IF the check they wrote me is accurate. They claim that i need to go through probate to access this information despite my having the trust document where i am listed as a trustee. A trust is a document expressively designed to avoid costly and time consuming probate. Goldmans Sachs is telling me that going through probate is the only way for me to access the financial statements to double check if Goldman Sacs is actually sending the right amount of money or the tax documents i need to file my father's taxes.
2) Goldman Sacsh HAS NOT distributed the full sum of money from these accounts. Despite having the trust documents and the certificate of death, they continue to hold the funds that is supposed to go to the other beneficiaries. They have not taken a single step towards these distributions.
3) Throughout this process, Goldman sachs has been obstructive at every step of the way. Fidelity on the other hand, has handled the whole process in a very professional and timely manner. They even assigned a case manager to facilitate the process. With Goldman Sachs, I have been stuck with various people from overseas who seem to read off a script and don't seem to grasp anything they are saying, just regurgating what they have told to say. I am not even sure these people have a full grasp of the English language... I can deal with the rudeness, but not the incompetence.

I got an email from Marcus, who I have a savings account with, that information they have on file for me doesn’t match public record and that I need to call a specific number.
Upon calling, I was provided no context or further information, just an instruction that I need to mail a copy of my ID to a specific address.
I am very uncomfortable with this whole situation and the fact that I was unable to obtain extra information, even after speaking to a supervisor.
I have not changed my name since I opened an account with Marcus back in 2022. This makes no sense and I am very concerned.
I would like for someone to follow up with me and provide a reason on what is happening and why I have to mail copies of documents and what doesn’t match up with their record.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:This does not satisfy my request as, per my prior message, I got no adequate information from customer support associates, who sounded quite unsure on what the proper action is. I had to be put on hold several times while they clarified internally.
I asked for the directive of what to send and where to be sent to me via email or mail and I was told that information can only be provided via phone, that I extremely sketchy.
I have not been treated this way by any other bank or investment institution that I use except for you.
I changed my last name 3 years before ever acquiring your services. This behavior from you makes no sense.
Only change that happened during my time of banking with you is that I moved.
I demand a real associate from your corporate office, not a phone customer service rep, contact me directly so I can verify whom I am speaking with.
To ask me to send my ID copies via email, with no attention to a particular associate, and no real direction on what else to include, is absurd.
I suggest you listen to the call I placed after getting your odd email. No customer would feel comfortable enough to mail their sensitive information after a response like that.
This is not a way to conduct banking business. Please have a real banking associate follow up with me directly via email and phone so I can verify their email handle.

I have been banking with Marcus for almost 5 years. I have never experienced any problem or concerns till today. I attempted to transfer a portion of my current balance to my local bank as I have done many times in the past 5 years. The transfer was blocked by Marcus with no notice to my e-mail or text to my phone. I only found out when the transfer never arrived to my local bank. I unfortunately had to call and talk to the most uncaring, disrespectful, and clueless customer service employees ever. I don't want to call them stupid...but?? The first agent asked me for my "secret" word that I entered 5 years ago when opening the account. I told her the word was entered 5 years ago and I have no memory. She somewhat belittled me and suggested that was something I should have remembered or written down. I then hit the record button on my phone because I wanted a record of this crap. Long story short. I then talked to mutiple agents and no one could explain why my transer was rejected. I have read mutiple reviews rating Marcus Bank. I believe they are in severe financial trouble and are making every possible attempt to block financial transfers. I am sure Marcos Bank will respond. Please, don't believe their response. Marcus Bank is a sinking ship. Run while you can....Business Response

I had an over payment of an order on my credit card. When the Bank emailed me I said the amount was not correct and it was blocked. I also called and corrected it. After that the Bank never fixed it.

A Supervisor ****** was plain nasty raised his voice and said he was freezing it for another week for no reason. (I was trying to explain, there was no fraud t was an over charge by the Company ) Then the same by another Supervisor **** and then today telling me I had a different number, call Transunion and update my number.Meanwhile my other Banks have updated my number with no issues.

I am rejecting this response first the information is inaccurate that they gave. Secondly. I gave them a last chance to fix this issue when they acknowledged I recently went online and updated my info. They are just being retaliatory because I asked for a Supervisor. The dates are all wrong. They refuse to unlock my card , period.
Sincerely,

I have called Golman Sachs several times because they are charging me an installment or a computer that was paid off in June 2024. The laptop was paid off early and I ask them to return the interest fees. Instead of them mailing me the interest fees back (which totaled $79.08) they converted the computer into an installment plan of $1482.00. I should only have 1 computer on the account which was purchased in May 2025. Every-time they say someone will call you back within 5-10 days. If you miss the call they close the case BUT NOTHING GETS RESOLVED. I do have bank states to Apple showing that I have paid off the laptopBusiness Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the above-referenced complaint
related to the Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint
Portal on June 17, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the
concerns raised by ******* ****** (the “Customer”) related to Apple Card
Monthly Installments and interest.
The Bank conducted an investigation, and an inadvertent processing error
occurred. The Customer contacted the Bank on February 19, 2025, regarding the
interest assessed on the account in the amount of $79.08. Apple Card Monthly
Installments (ACMI) is a payment option available in the U.S. to Apple Card
Customers that allows the cardholder the ability to purchase certain Apple
products from Apple at 0% Annual Percentage Rate. Transactions that do not
qualify for Apple Card Monthly Installments are applied to the account as a
standard transaction subject to the Variable Annual Percentage Rate assigned
to the Apple Card.
According to the Bank’s records on June 16, 2024, the Customer made a
purchase on Apple.com in the amount of $1,482.94. The Customer did not use
Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) for this purchase. As a result, the
device amount was applied to the account as a standard transaction subject to
the variable APR assigned to the Apple Card. The Customer had zero balance
due at the time of the conversion. Due to the processing error, the Apple
purchase in the amount of $1,482.94 was converted to Apple Card Monthly
Installments and was placed back on the account. The Bank confirmed the
device was converted to Apple Card Monthly Installments at 0% interest. The
interest amount was also credited on February 19, 2025. The installment
amount of $1,482.94 was credited back to the account and closed on June 23,
2025.
The Bank regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be
closed.Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 23479569, and find that this resolution is partially satisfactory to me. However the Bank has not explained why my previous "credited" amount of $626.53 is now reduced to $362.13. If they can clear up this information that will resolve my complaint.

I am rejecting this response because:Goldman Sachs replied and stated that they would credit the installment amount of $1,482.94 back to my account. That was acceptable to me.
However today my card balance is $489.54. The listed transactions do not total this amount for card transactions . Furthermore, I do not know how/why $127.41 is being pulled to pay my installment agreement. I simply want the correct accurate card balance so that I can pay off this card.When I called the rep. *** confused and simply gave me a case #A001003445765. I am truly frustrated at this point.

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 June
16, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised
by ****** **** (the “Customer”) related to accessing their Online Savings
Account (“OSA”).
On April 1, 2025, the Customer
initiated an outgoing transfer request from their OSA to an external account.
During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns
regarding the transaction and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer.
Consequently, the Bank declined the transfer and restricted the OSA until the
security concerns could be resolved.
The
following day, the Customer contacted the Bank
regarding their account access, but the security concerns remained. As an
alternative verification method, the Bank requested the Customer to complete an
Affidavit of Identity (“AOI”) which the Bank received from the Customer on April
28, 2025. Unfortunately, due to an inadvertent error, a Bank specialist
erroneously declined the documentation and requested the Customer to complete
an additional AOI.
On June 2, 2025, the Bank received
the AOI from the Customer and approved the AOI on June 17, 2025. Subsequently,
the Bank restored the Customer’s online banking access. Due to the experience,
the Bank will be providing a credit to the Customer's account as a token of
goodwill within the next five business days.
Based on
the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer
