Some time last year I opened an apple card which is issued through Goldman Sach. I would use the card and then pay my bill in full each month. Back in July of 2025 there was an unauthorized transaction on the card of $55.63 I paid the rest of my balance and file a dispute for the $55.63. Each time I have filed a dispute which is 3 times so far and a new dispute resubmitted today. It keeps coming back that there was no error in the card processing. Not sure what that means when I never said it was an error. I have also asked that if the company for any documentation provided by the merchant to back up their claim but none has been provided to me. I am not paying the $55.63 as It was not a transaction that I authorized. I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. I have researched the merchant and they are not even in the same state as me.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the above-referenced complaint related to the AppleCard via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint Portal on November 11, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ****** ********* (the “Customer”) related to a transaction dispute with the merchant The Forge in the amount of $55.63.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. The Customer initially disputed the transaction on May 8, 2025, and reopened the dispute on July 11, 2025, September 19, 2025, and November 10, 2025. The Bank applied a temporary credit while each dispute was investigated. The initial disputes were resolved in favor of the merchant because the Bank was unable to locate any suspicious, fraudulent, or unauthorized account takeover activity. As a result, the temporary credits were reversed on July 9, 20025, September 10, 2025, October 28, 2025, and November 14, 2025. The Bank sent the Customer an email detailing each dispute outcome. The Bank was unable to provide merchant evidence to the Customer as no merchant evidence was available. 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

I am rejecting this response because:Common sense would say that the customer has paid every bill in full, every time she's used the card. The merchant in question is not even in the same state with me. How can you rule in favor of a merchant when the merchant hasn't even provided a signed receipt or anything providing that I supposedly initiated said purchase. It was an unauthorized purchase. Hence Goldman Sachs closing out the initial card and reassuring me a new card. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS TRANSACTION AND I AM NOT PAYING FOR IT. We can take this to court if we need to as its the principle of it for me. When you make a purchase at a merchant, the merchant should have something to provide as proof of transaction. That has not occurred.

I have an Apple credit card. 11 days ago, I scheduled my payment through the app. A week ago, I received a notification that my payment was late. This should not have happened, considering I scheduled the payment to be automatically paid on the due date. Because of this error with the Apple card system, I received an interest fee of $50+ AND the late payment was recorded to the credit agencies and my credit score went down. I called the customer support, and they offered me a one-time credit of $25. That is unacceptable. I need a full refund of the interest charges, and I need Apple/Goldman to report to the credit bureau that the late payment was their mistake, not mine. Then I need my credit score fixed. Thank youBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because it is very convenient the bank can't find an error the bank did. Regardless, it happened. I'd like the whole interest fee applied back. Thanks

Complaint Regarding Duplicate Charge on Apple Credit Card Issued by Goldman Sachs
On October 25, 2025, my Apple Credit Card (issued by Goldman Sachs) was charged twice by a hotel bar Courtyard Hotel in Iowa City, IA. The correct charge of $282.38 was confirmed by the hotel, and I do not dispute this amount. However, an additional pending charge of $228.47 appeared on my account, which is incorrect and has increased my balance.
I contacted the hotel directly, and they confirmed that only one charge was processed on their end. They advised that the duplicate pending charge is an error originating from the credit card issuer.
I filed a formal dispute with Goldman Sachs on October 30, 2025, under Case ID 102737960048. As of my follow-up on November 4, 2025, there has been no resolution or update on the matter.
I am requesting that the pending charge of $228.47 be removed from my account balance promptly. I have taken all necessary steps to verify the error and have provided documentation from the merchant confirming the correct charge.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

I recently purchased 2 high yield CDs from Marcus Goldman Sachs via their online app. During the process I tried to add my wife as co-owner on the CDs. I tried repeatedly in both instances but their app refused to acknowledge my wife as living in Virginia...No explanation just refused to accept my entry. Without any information to the contrary I went ahead & opened the two CD accts figuring to bring the app issue up with their customer service & get it corrected. This all took place during the weekend so I waited until the work week to contact their Customer Service. Their representative advised me that despite the app being their issue she was not able to add my wife as co-owner moreover, she was not allowed to provide me with a mailing address for the Corp Office. Mind you, I found this very information on line! The representative told me that she would "register a complaint" on my behalf and I could expect a call from a supervisor soon. I received a call from the supervisor (********) on 3 Nov @ 1pm. ******** advised me that there was nothing she could do and I could not even cancel the CDs without penalty as the "buyer's remorse" period had passed. Moreover, ******** advised that she could not provide me with a mailing address for their Corp Office!Business Response

I had multiple accounts with Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and out of nowhere they locked access to my accounts. They did this without notice, and I had to call to find out what had happened. After calling they informed me that they could not provide any information as to why my accounts were closed. They could also not give me any information as to when my money would be returned to me. I had over $17,000 with them and I am not able to access it and after repeated request they have declined to outline how the funds will be returned to me in and concrete way. At first they said by bank transfer, then they said by check, and then said it could be both and they didn't know which it would be delivered by. I was very satisfied with their product before this and I am very disappointed. I seek a way for my funds to be returned to me in a timely fashion rather than holding my saving hostage.Business Response

I opened two certificates of depost 10 years ago when the bank was ***************. One certificate was for $60,000.00 the second certifcate was for $30,000.00. I do not do online banking just to be clear. Every month the certificates earned interest and was deposited in each certificate. I left the money in the accounts and allowed them to rollover. With a certificate you cannot add nor take out money until the certificate matures. These two certificates did not mature until 2029 and 2030. I received a letter on Monday October ******* stating that my certificates have been closed. I immediately called Marcus and was told the accounts were closed out due to inactivity. This happened on Oct 8, 2025. The bank sent the money to the State of ******** to the unclaimed property department. They did not send the money to me. I called the State of Virginia and they said they have not received the money as of Oct 22, 2025. So now I have almost $100,000.00 floating in limbo. The bank said they can close someones account at anytime however the reasons were for a negative balance in an account, suspicious fraud of an account or inactivity. I don't believe I should have been told my accounts were inactive due to the fact that they had interest deposited every month to the accounts. I cannot add to the certificates and the certificates were not mature to close them out. Marcus customer service is actually a call center and when they don't have the answers in the book they are given to answer questions, they have to call out to someone to give them an answer. In the meantime I am losing $300.00 in interest a month on these two accounts.Business Response

On 10/8 I called Marcus to initiate a wire payment (38,750) into an escrow account for a down payment for a home. They advised that they would contact the recipient to confirm account details and the wire would take 1 - 3 business days. I spent hours over the course of 6 phone calls with the Marcus team and ultimately the wire was not processed.
Here are the dates of the calls and brief summaries:
Tuesday 10/14 - follow up call where rep advised that security needed to verify recipient
Wednesday 10/15 - call with receiving attorney and Marcus to verify account details. Rep said wire should process that day.
Thursday 10/16 - check in on wire as funds were still on hold. Person said they would research and update call notes so I can be updated next time I call in.
Friday 10/17 - rep spent significant time reviewing account despite my request to immediately transfer me. Still no answers on my wire and was advised I would receive a call from relevant team. rep refused to provide me with name of team or any contact information so that I can avoid waiting on him to ultimately transfer my call.
Monday 10/20 - I receive a call advising that funds are released from my account. Upon review, I see funds were simply returned to my account and that the wire was in fact cancelled on the 9th before all of my follow up calls, and before I verified account details with the attorney and Marcus rep on the phone.
At no point, except today when I was notified that the funds were ‘cleared’ from my account did they confirm that the wire was cancelled despite several calls confirming the wire was ‘in process’ and on one call even confirmed it would be the same day. There was no email confirmation, status updates, online portal confirmation which caused so much wasted time for me on phone calls.Business Response

I have a Marcus account. I want to transfer the funds to my B of A account and close the Marcus account. I have been trying to get this done for nearly 2 weeks. I have spoken with 11 Marcus staff and got a run-around each time. They say they need to verify that the B of A account is in my name. They put me on hold to talk with B of A, and after 45 or more minutes, B of A hasn't answered and the phone is disconnected. Marcus says that my funds have been transferred to B of A, but the funds haven't shown up there in nearly 2 weeks. My personal B of A banker offered to talk with them, but the Marcus folks refused - all of them refused. They are incompetent at best, very rude, and have no idea how to treat a customer. Not to mention having a process that is so broken that they can't explain it or fix it or dare to even try to help. They just keep reading from the script until the customer gives up. I can't imagine how much worse this would be if I had needed to money for an emergency. I know I am not alone in having this type of awful experience with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. This feels like they've stolen my money. They told me that it was B of A's problem, even though B of A has never received the transfer of my funds. Passing the buck instead if solving the problem. Someone will sue them eventually.Business Response

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
