My account was closed. They allegedly tried to send the funds from the closed account to my external bank, but was unsuccessful. I did not receive a letter regarding this. A check was not mailed since the transfer failed. I called for a status update and was told that I would receive a call back that never came. I called again and put in an official written dispute that was delivered by *** on 12/4. As of 12/16, I still have not received by funds by electronic transfer or check.

End up the fund is still in the CD account as of today's date 12/16/2024.

On December 3, 2024 I used my Marcus GM Mastercard with a local appliance company only to have the card declined. This was not an issue with lacking of funds on the card. On December 4th and 5th of 2024 I made 4 separate purchases without any issue. Then later on December 5th l received notification from Marcus GM there was an issue with my card. I called and spoke with someone and was told there were 2 issues, which they did not specific what issues, and they were able to resolve one, but could not resolve the other issue. They would have their technical team look into it. On December 6th I tried to use my card only to have it declined again so I immediately called Marcus. This time I was told there was a glitch in their system and my account was frozen and it would take 5-7 days to fix. No explanation as to what the “glitch” was. Today December 13, 2024 I called Marcus once again only to be told AGAIN there is a glitch in system, my account is frozen, there is nothing they can do about it, and they will call me when it was fixed in 5-8 days. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told I was speaking with him. If it wasn’t for the GM earnings I have on this card I would cancel it, but currently it is worth a good deal of money toward a GM car. I need some resolution ASAP to this issue of not being able to use my GM Mastercard which I have had for 30 years. This is totally unacceptable and very unprofessional of a credit card company.Business Response

completed the needed verification to remove the account restriction. However,
due to a technical issue the Bank was unable to remove the account restriction

My credit card payments are due on the 28th of each month. I submitted payment on the 27th of November. Since Thanksgiving was on the 28th, when I submitted payment for its due date, the system pushed the payment until the following day of November 29. I have contacted multiple times trying to get the interest I was charged off of my account. Representatives have been so rude and not helpful. I have been promised a call within 24 hours by two people and that never happened. I did finally get a call, but not within the allotted time. This company expects their customers to do right EVERY time, but they can't. I just got off the phone to a supervisor hanging up on me. I am furious and just want my interested refunded. There is no common sense in the fact of someone submitting a payment early for it to be late. This company is trying to take advantage of its customers and then is being rude and having terrible customer service.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 13, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ******* (the Customer) related to an interest accessed and payments made on the ** Card.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no error occurred. The Bank conducted a review of the Customers previously scheduled payments and determined that there is insufficient evidence to suggest that a technical issue is present. According to the Banks records, the Customer scheduled payments of $3,718.20 on November 27, 2024, with a processing date of November 29, 2024. The payment was scheduled by the Customer utilizing the Banks online services for the day after the due date. The Bank sent the Customer payment scheduled confirmation emails on November 27, 2024, which advised of the scheduled payment date. For future payments, the Customer is encouraged to review the confirmation emails sent to ensure that payments are scheduled for the desired dates. The Customer may also gather evidence, such as screenshots taken at the time of payment scheduling, to support the Customer's case that a technical issue is present. The Customer may contact the Bank directly if evidence is gathered for a technical issue case to be raised. The Bank is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone at ************** or by chat on ****************************** through the account dashboard.
Due to the payments on November 29, 2024, made after the due date on November 2829, 2024, the Bank assessed interest charge in the amount of $91.00. As a courtesy, the payment made on November 29, 2024, was backdated to November 28, 2024, in order to waive the interest assessed in the amount of $91.00. The Bank regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.

On December 3rd and 6th, I requested two ACH transfers from my GS Marcus account ***3452 to another online bank account. On December 9th my Marcus account was locked by ******************** saying that there was a security concern. I called their customer service and I was asked all the security questions which I answered correctly. In 3 days, I talked to 9 representatives and 2 supervisors. They all told me that there was a security concern and asked me to verify an incoming transfer happened more than 1 month earlier along with the last two outgoing transfers mentioned above. After proving my identity answering their questions, I confirmed that all transfers were authorized by me. I asked to unlock the account as I am in need to quickly access my funds to meet other goals and payment deadlines. They told me that a Supervisor will call me in 48 hours, which did not happen. One of the Representative (*******) mentioned that the phone number registered in my account that was routinely used to send me identity verification codes, was now not a good number for identity verification. This is the only phone number that I have been using with them in the last 7 ******** of today, my account is still locked, and I have no information on why this is happening and who to talk to solve this issue. The first transfer went through, but the second transfer was cancelled by Marcus. They also continue to hold the balance of my account without giving me access to it.I had this account since 2014, way before Marcus was created. My feeling is that being the amount that I was trying to withdraw a consistent amount, Marcus is adopting this dirty practice to delay the withdrawal as much as possible. Authorities and regulators should do something about it. From what I read on the Internet and on the BBB web site, this is everything BUT an isolated case.

On December 3, 2024, the Bank received a withdrawal request from the Customers OSA to an external account. During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the transfer and restricted the account.
On December 9, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank, but security concerns remained. On December 11, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access. To resolve the security concerns, a Bank specialist completed an authentication process to verify the Customers identity and confirm the Customer authorized the transaction.

Better Business Bureau:on December 3rd, the Bank should have sent a message to notify the account owner that the account was on hold. This would have minimized the waiting time to solve the issue. 14 calendar days and multiple phone calls for a total of 10 Marcus representatives I had to talk to, seem to me too much.

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, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ****** (the "Customer”) related to accessing their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
On December 4, 2024, 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 transfer and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer. Consequently, the Bank declined the transaction. The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding the transfer. To resolve the security concerns, a Bank specialist completed an authentication process to verify the Customer’s identity and confirm the Customer authorized the transaction. During the call, the Customer was notified that for their security the funds could only be returned to the funding account.
Between December 6, 2024 and December 9, 2024, the Customer initiated multiple outgoing transfer requests to external accounts; however, the Bank declined the transactions as funds needed to be returned to the respective funding accounts. Consequently, the Bank restricted the OSA until the additional security concerns could be resolved.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
I disagree with the accuracy of their response but do not feel like wasting my time now that I have closed this account. This bank should be investigated for their questionable practices.
Sincerely,
