      I’m filing this complaint against Marcus by Goldman Sachs in relation to my Apple Card account. Despite making substantial recent payments — including a $1,000 lump sum — and actively working to improve my credit, Goldman Sachs lowered my credit limit without proper warning or justification.

      Their explanation was that my total available credit is too low, I’ve incurred interest, and that a payment failed recently. These are issues that existed prior to my financial improvements — yet my credit limit was never touched back then. Only now, when I’m finally making progress and planning to pay off the full balance, they chose to reduce my limit. This feels like retaliation or manipulation, not a responsible business practice.

      This kind of move hurts my credit utilization, penalizes me despite positive payment behavior, and ultimately looks like bad faith action toward a consumer making a comeback.

      I want the BBB to investigate this and hold Goldman Sachs accountable for inconsistent treatment, lack of transparency, and potentially harmful credit practices.

      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 October 8, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ***** ******* (the “Customer”) related to the Credit limit for the Apple Card.

      The Bank conducted a review of the account and confirmed no bank error occurred. During the application process the Customer is provided with and must consent to the Apple Card Customer Agreement including the Credit Report Authorization which discloses that the Customer agrees that the Bank may review the Apple Card account history and credit bureau information regularly to maintain and service the account. This is a standard practice for financial institutions, as it helps to assess the Customer’s creditworthiness and manage any potential risks associated with the account. On October 7, 2025 the Bank reduced the Customer’s credit limit as part of a standard risk assessment. Consequently, and in adherence with applicable law, the Bank sent the Customer an email notifying them of the change and detailing the reasons for the new credit limit.

      The Bank is unable to reverse previous credit limit decisions. The Bank occasionally evaluates all Apple Card accounts for credit limit increases, and the Customer’s account may be considered at that time. Customer’s may also choose to apply for a credit limit increase at any point, though the Bank recommends waiting 12 months.

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

      CD was closed on 8/6/2025 and money was transferred to a closed bank account. Called Marcus on the same day to inform them of the situation to see if it can be cancelled. Was told not to worry, if the bank account is closed, money will come back in a few business days. I called again in a few days and was informed it needs another few days after it comes back to come back to my account. A few days later I called and was informed the money is back but it cannot be put in my savings account but must be mailed out and it will take 7-10 business days. I raised my concern since it is a large amount of money, if there is any other method than a paper check and was not provided any other option but was told to not worry as it will be either USPS certified mail or FedEx signed delivery. I asked if I could select as USPS usually loses mail and the response was no. I called in again when the days were up to see if the check has been mailed and it’s tracking number, they informed me it was mailed but no delivery tracking number and to call back another day. I kept calling weekly and spending an hour with customer service where the tracking provided had no movement and it seems to be lost. They finally sent me a next day UPS on 9/8/2025 with an affidavit to sign that I did not receive the check. This is now a month since my CD was matured and no sign of my check for my money that I had intended to use for my newborn baby! I called again weekly to see what’s going on and as of now 10/7/2025, there is no sign of my check for my money.

      The last case# ************ that I received dated 9/26/2025.

      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
      October 8, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns
      raised by **** ***** (the “Customer”) related to their Certificate of Deposit
      (“CD”).
      On
      September 4, 2024, the Customer provided the Bank with instructions to close
      their CD (account ending in 6504) with funds transferring to an external
      account. Upon maturity on August 5, 2025, the Bank closed the CD with funds
      transferring to the external account as requested. The following day, the
      Customer contacted the Bank regarding the closure and informed the Bank specialist
      the external account had been closed. During the call, the Bank specialist
      advised the Customer the closure request would be reversed back to the CD.
      On
      August 12, 2025, the Bank contacted the Customer to inform that the funds had reversed
      and that the Bank would mail a check to the address on file for the remaining
      balance. Unfortunately, due to an inadvertent error, the Bank did not send the
      check as expected, causing a delay in the Customer’s receipt of funds.
      On
      October 8, 2025, the Bank received a correspondence from the Customer advising
      the check had not been received. After further review, on October 14, 2025, the
      Bank contacted the Customer advising that the balance from the Customer’s CD
      had been deposited into the Customer’s Online Savings Account.
      Due
      to the experience, the Bank has provided the Customer with a credit to
      the account as a token of goodwill.
      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      I can no longer view my recent Apple Card transactions in the Wallet app. This issue began in June 2025 and remains unresolved. I have contacted Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Apple Card issuer) on more than 15 occasions, spending many hours on the phone and submitting multiple support tickets. I have repeatedly been told the matter is with an IT team, yet I have not received a single follow-up call and the viewing issue persists. This has impaired my ability to review charges and manage my account. I am requesting clear case ownership and a timely resolution.

      I closed a CD (ending in ****) due to financial hardship on September 26th and on the 29th, I called Marcus to see about possibly getting a hardship penalty waiver since the penalty fee was $106. I was told at that time that this could have been done if I had called in to close the CD and mention it then but apparently a few days later and no one there can simply credit my account even though the financial hardship is the same. I also chatted with customer service just prior to closing this CD and specifically asked if I could have a hardship waiver on the CD penalty and was told that was not an option. There is no mention of being able to close a CD and have the early penalty waived for hardship by calling in, it states that nowhere on the website, it does not state that anywhere when I closed it on the website and it seems very deceptive to basically hide this option from customers. If Goldman Sachs values me so little as a customer after having my accounts there for five years that refunding this penalty fee after just a few days can’t be done then I will be happy to move my funds over to another bank with better customer service with comparable rates for CDs and savings so there is no need to keep my money with Marcus in the future.

      This particular CD was only open for a few weeks, and I have a good amount of funds still held in this bank. I was unable to call when I closed it online due to being out of town (the times I have called, I have been on hold for a lengthy amount of time and it takes much longer than just going on the website), and it was right before the weekend when the bank is closed, so I called on Monday morning. At the time I opened the CD I was not expecting the hardship and my work hours to be cut so drastically on top of that, so I was forced to close it to cover some unanticipated expenses, having to pay $106 to access my own money is a rather ridiculous and very expensive fee.

      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 September 29, 2025. The Bank
      appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* *******
      (the "Customer”) related to an Early withdrawal Penalty (“EWP”) assessed
      on their Certificate of Deposit (“CD”).
      On May 10, 2025, the Customer
      opened a 14-month CD (account ending in ****), which the Customer funded on May
      18, 2025. On September 25, 2025, the Customer accessed the Bank's online portal
      and closed their CD prior to its maturity date. As a result, the Bank charged
      an EWP.
      On September 29, 2025, the
      Customer contacted the Bank requesting that the EWP be refunded and a Bank
      specialist erroneously advised an EWP waiver may have been available. However,
      in accordance with the Bank’s Deposit Account Agreement, CD accounts incur an EWP
      if a customer closes the CD prior to the maturity date. Unfortunately, the Bank
      is unable to accommodate the Customer’s request to refund their EWP.
      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this
      complaint to be closed.

      I am rejecting this response because it does not satisfy my complaint at all and this bank holds no accountability to the misinformation it provided me. I will be closing my accounts and moving all my funds to another bank once these CDs mature even though I have been here for six years. This bank is worth millions and can’t refund a measly $100 for financial hardship for a long term customer. Greed is clearly this bank’s bottom line and I will gladly move my money elsewhere.

      Dear Marcus by Goldman Sachs Customer Support,
      I am writing to formally dispute a $119 fee recently charged to my account, which I believe to be excessive, unjustified, and inconsistent with industry standards.
      Here is what occurred:
      - I scheduled a credit card payment to my Marcus account.
      - Due to an oversight, the payment was not withdrawn the following day by my credit card company.
      - Believing I had forgotten to schedule it, I manually transferred the funds to Marcus.
      - Subsequently, my credit card company attempted to withdraw the original payment from Marcus, which at that point had a $0 balance.
      - I fully understand that a fee may be assessed for insufficient funds—typically in the range of $20–$30.
      - However, Marcus charged me $119, which is outrageously disproportionate and far exceeds standard NSF (non-sufficient funds) fees.
      This charge feels punitive and exploitative. I am requesting:
      - A full breakdown and justification of the $119 fee.
      - A refund or adjustment of the fee to a reasonable amount in line with industry norms.
      - Assurance that such excessive fees will not be imposed in the future without clear disclosure.
      I value transparency and professionalism in financial institutions, and I hope Marcus will uphold these standards. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and exploring other avenues for escalation.

      I signed up for the Marcus GM card ahead of purchasing my Chevy Bolt. I signed up for the card for the many benefits from Chevy EV owners, including the EV bill credit. If you pay your electric bill 6 times, you were to get $100 statement credit automatically. I should have earned multiple cycles of this by now, but the tracker disappeared from the Marcus website at some point. I contacted Marcus and GM, and they verified I would still get the credit as it is “on the back end” even if I don’t see it. I escalated this issue to the office of the president and they verified, it will go through. Now, my GM card has been transferred to *********, and ********* customer service will not approach this issue in any way. They refer me back to Marcus. The Marcus legacy line is completely disconnected, sending me back to *********. Prior, when I contacted GM about this issue, it took 3-5 months for them to get back to me. Can I please get my $200 credits, as I paid many of the bills, card is open and in good standing, can you please stand-by the bonus that was promised to me without so much additional work on my end? Thank you so much, let me know if you need more information.

      I am rejecting this response because: We are caught in between these two companies and GM rewards. GM rewards will not allow me to file a BBB complaint, can it be forwarded to them as well? I am not sure that ********* will help as they have told me via phone that I need to contact Marcus because that program was under them. BBB, can you please help me get help from ********* or from GM? Or Marcus, can you please verify that I receive some kind of assistance? Thank you.

      My Marcus account is locked for no reason.

      My account was locked on September 18th and I unlocked my account by calling their customer service. However, the account was locked again on September 19th and this time I called in, they said that they do not have a way to unlock my account and they have escalated this issue. However, I have not heard anything back from them yet and I urgently need to access my account but no one from them was able to explain why my account was locked.

      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 September 20, 2025. The Bank appreciates the
      opportunity to address the concerns raised by *** *** (the “Customer”) related to accessing their jointly
      owned Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On September 16, 2025, the Primary Owner initiated an outgoing
      transfer from their jointly owned OSA to an external account. During the
      transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the
      transfer and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Primary Owner to address
      the concerns. Consequently, the Bank declined the transfer and restricted  account access to the joint account until the concerns
      could be resolved.
      On September 18, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access.
       During the call, a
      Bank specialist completed an authentication process to verify the Customer’s
      identity. However, due to an inadvertent error, the Bank specialist restored the
      Customer’s account access without addressing the security concerns affiliated
      with the Primary Owner’s
      account. As a result, the Bank later restricted the Customer’s account access
      until all security concerns had been resolved.
      On September 22, 2025, the Customer and the Primary Owner contacted
      the Bank in an attempt to resolve the security concerns. A Bank specialist
      proceeded to verify both account holders and confirmed the recent
      activity on their accounts. In addition, the Bank specialist attempted to verify the external
      account via a three-way call; however, the account holders declined to verify
      the account and the restrictions remained.
      After further review of the
      account, on September 23, 2025, the Bank
      made an exception to resolve the security concerns without verifying the external
      account. Subsequently, the Bank restored both account holders’ online banking
      access.
      Due to the experience, the
      Bank will be providing a credit to the Customer’s account as a token of goodwill
      in the next five business days.
      Based on
      the above details, we kindly request this complaint be closed.
