      I was trying to transfer my money ($1,000) in Marcus online savings account to an external bank account on Sept 30th, but they rejected my requested and then locked my account, saying that they need to verify my information and asked me to wait for a long time. I tried to know to the reason why they locked my account and the length of the waiting time for the review, but they refuse to tell me. However, my transfer from external bank account to Marcus was successful, which is ridiculous. I don't think they are trying their best to help me on that issue.

      I am lodging a complaint for false advertising and/or failure to meet obligations. I have been a ** Card member since 1996. It has been taken over by Marcus by Goldman Sachs. I leased a new Chevrolet truck 8/31/2024. I was told the ** dollars I had earned no longer apply. This is the first time I have even had an issue over ** points. You are supposed to negotiate the deal, and then let them know you have ** dollars to use. I was swindled out of at least $1000 on this transaction. The dealership is blaming the Credit Card and the Credit card is blaming the dealership. Either way, I am the victim here as $1,000 of earnings ($20,000 of spending to earn) has been deemed useless!! I am canceling the card when I can, but I want others to hear about this and would like resolution.

      I have had a Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings account for many years. On 2-19 -2024, at marcus.com, I used marcus' online ach system to transfer to marcus from my Iinked external savings at nasa fcu $104268. Transfer completed and all funds were available after the stated 7 day hold. I then submitted, using the same marcus ach system at marcus.com, the same type of transfer out of marcus to my linked external savings at connexus fcu. At approximately 830am mst on 9-26 2024, I received a call from Marcus rep Angel stating he had reversed the transfer. After his lengthy and undocumented reasoning for reversing my transfer, I spoke to a supervisor. They said my $104268 could only be ach eft transferred back to nasa fcu or after 6 months at Marcus, could be transferred elsewhere. I asked where these requirements were stated on marcus.com. They said the deposit disclosure agreement (dda). After rereading all of the dda and faqs and finding NOTHING REGARDING limitations on which external linked bank accout I transferred to (except that it was in my name, and it is).
      I called on 9-27-2024 and received a call back as I requested, from supervisor Oriana. I asked her to tell me where I could find these rules. After waiting lengthy hold times, her best result was paragraph g on pages 9 and 10. To paraphrase, it states Funding with a Gift or debit card is not allowed, which I do not have and was not using. The $104268 left marcus savings on 9-26-2024 and were back in 9-27-2024. Both supervisors stated on recorded calls, I would earn Marcus interest (then at 4.40apy) for 9-26-2024 as well as all days the $104268 was in my marcus savings. I am requesting I am allowed to transfer my available $104268 to my linked
      Connexus fcu sav. Once there, my $104268 willbe at 5.25 apy. I also want credited this additional interest of 5.25 - marcus' apy for 9-26-2024 thru the date when my $104268 leaves marcus to go to connexus.

      appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ****** ****** (the "Customer) related to
      a transfer from their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On September 26, 2024, the Customer initiated an outgoing transfer request from their OSA to an

      concerns, declined the request, and restricted the OSA. Later that same day, the Bank contacted the
      Customer and addressed the security concerns.
      On October 1, 2024, the Bank received a withdrawal request from the Customer’s OSA to an external
      account and successfully processed the request later that same day.
      Due to the experience, the Bank will be providing the Customer with a credit to the account as a token
      of goodwill within the next five business days. Unfortunately, the Bank is unable to accommodate the

      I set up a savings account with ********************** and deposited $90,000 dollars with the intent to move it into a CD. 0n 9/12/24 I discovered my account was locked and call to have it unlocked, which they did. I then found my account locked again on 9/17/24 and after more than an hour on the phone the agent informed me the bank was closing my account with no explanation and would send my money back but couldn't tell me how until a manager was available the next day. I called back on 9/18/24 and spoke to another ***resentative who said there must have been a mistake and after another hour unlocked my account. On 9/23/24 I found my account once again locked and call the bank again on 9/24/24 and was told the account would in fact be closed and they would mail me my check and the accrued interest. I then received a call the next day 9/25/24 stating that they could not mail my check and I would need to have it transferred back into the account I transferred it from. I then provided the routing and account number for the TEST transfer. 9/26/24 and the test transfer was not received and after two calls the *** told me she didn't see a transfer and would have someone call me back in 3-5 business days. At this point I feel the bank is holding my money hostage and from what I have read online this is a very common practice for them as a means to take advantage of their customers. At this point I have no access to my money which is my life savings and don't even have access to the account numbers as everything is locked.

      My wife and I have 2 Marcus by Goldman Savings accounts and we are trying to wire the money to another bank inorder to close on a property. We have spoken to a dozen Goldman Sachs representatives and answered a million security questions but our transfers keep getting reversed with no clear explanation. The customer service at ********************** have given us inconsistent and contradictory information and now our account is locked! This was an EXTREMELY frustrating experience and we are in-danger of not being able to close on the property by the contracted date. We need help **** to resolve the issues and get access to our funds.

      I am rejecting this response because:  we are still unable to access our funds and the whole issue arose from the Representatives from Marcus by Goldmans Sachs keeps giving us erroneous information.  We had multiple representatives giving us wrong information on transferring the funds.  This would have been avoided if the representatives told us we need to return the funds to the funding source.  We need the funds urgently to close on a property and it is still locked till 10/05/2024.

      My wife and I opened a joint high-yield savings account with ********************** approximately three years ago. Approximately a week ago, I received an email to contact Marcus. When I did, Marcus asked for my Social Security number, birthdate, and secret word answer. They also wanted to send a pin to my cell phone. The cell phone number that I have always had on the account is now deemed not to be associated with me by Marcus. My wife and I have a T-Mobile cell phone account in which she is the primary account holder and I am an authorized user. ******************** said both the cell phone numbers were associated with my wife and they refused to send the pin. That phone number has been associated with me for years and it is on the Marcus account. Then ******************** wanted to asked if I had used any other first name aliases in the past. Marcus gave five first names that sounded Russian and some of the names were female. I have a generic American male first name. I answered none of the above to the names and Marcus promptly locked my account and refused to discuss my account any further. Although my wife is verified with Marcus and is a joint account holder, they refused to allow her access to the funds. We mailed an affidavit of identity, which is notarized to Marcuss post office box in ************. I used my United States passport as evidence of who I am. I also included a photocopy of my passport and a copy of one of our Marcus account statements. ******************** is basically stealing our money. We are retirees and we need access. There are online horror stories about people who are having similar problems with Marcus. Could you please help us get our money from Marcus by Goldman? It is our savings account, we are who we say we are. None of our information has changed.Thank you. I am unable to attach a PDF of the documents that I sent to Marcus.

      I attempted to withdraw funds on the 21st of August. On the 22nd this withdraw was reversed and my account was locked. I immediately reached out to Marcus Savings Representatives and was informed this was because I was trying to withdraw to an account that was not the funding account. which I informed them was now closed. To which Marcus Representatives told me to provide them with a letter from Wells Fargo stating this account has been closed then the hold will be released and I can proceed with my transfer. I got the letter and immediately sent it to the address provided. It took 10 business days for them to acknowledge receipt of this letter and has now been 4 business days of them "reviewing" the one sentence letter which I was told should only take 1-3 business days. I have called almost daily for the past month and every time I get a new excuse, completely different answer, or lack of answers entirely. After speaking with a supervisor yesterday who informed me this would be expedited, today the representative told me even if they review the letter there's no guarantee I can access my funds.

      I am extremely tired of the run around and just need the letter provided to be reviewed, my funds released, and my account to be closed.

      As of October 1st, I still have yet to receive any of my funds. Come to find out the information I was provided by a Marcus representative back in August was incorrect. I was told that Wells Fargo would not do third party verifications hense why I had to send a physical letter confirming the account closure, without them even trying. Yet just today, once again I had to verify this account was closed in which a finally very helpful representative of Marcus asked if it was Wells Fargo who informed me they wouldnt do third party verification, in which I told him no one of your representatives told me that from the get go... surprise Wells Fargo indeed did successfully do a third party verification - will my funds be released? Only time will tell at this point. The amount of different answers/capabilities of Marcus Representatives is extremely unprofessional. This matter could have been solved over a month ago if the initial representative would have just done their job thoroughly. This complaint will remain open until my funds are in my possession and my account is closed as NOTHING has been resolved.

      Kind of crazy to think all I have been trying to do is access MY funds for well over a month and its constantly one excuse after another as to why I cant.



      Sincerely,

      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 24, 2024.  The Bank appreciates
      the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ********* (the
      “Customer”) related to accessing their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On
      August 20, 2024, the Customer initiated an outgoing transfer request from their
      OSA to an external account[FI1] . 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 transfer and restricted the Customer’s OSA.
      On
      August 26, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access.
      A Bank specialist assisted with resolving a portion of the security concerns by
      verifying the Customer’s identity and confirming that the transfer had been
      authorized. In addition, the Bank specialist advised that the funds could be
      returned to the original funding account, but the Customer informed the Bank specialist
      that the account had been closed. Subsequently, the Bank specialist then
      restored the Customer’s online banking access. The Bank specialist then attempted
      to conduct a three-way call with the Customer and external institution to
      confirm the original funding account’s closure; however, the attempt had been
      unsuccessful. As an alternative, the Bank specialist requested the Customer to provide
      external bank statements to resolve the remaining security concerns. Unfortunately,
      the Bank experienced a delay in reviewing the received document.
      After
      further review, on September 25, 2024, the Bank approved the documentation. On September
      30, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank requesting to close their OSA with
      funds transferring to a linked account. Later that same day, the Bank
      successfully processed the account closure.
      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      On August 7, I did a transfer from my Marcus by Goldman Sachs account to Midfirst Bank which is Viobank savings account. Goldman Sachs froze my account because they needed to verify my identity after the transfer, but the funds were already processed. Since the funds were coming from a frozen account, Viobank decided to close my account and sent the check to Goldman Sachs on August 26. Goldman Sachs verified my identity then created a case to find the check but was never able to receive it. Goldman Sachs decided to close my savings account that still had $12,511.00. They said many times that I was supposed to receive the funds on September 25 after I spoke to mutiple fraud agents. I called again on 9/20/24, they told me that they are still working on the dispute for $1384.00 and told me that there wasn't a check that was sent to my current address for the $12511.00 that I still had in my account. I've talked to several agents throughout a daily basis, and they provide different answers regarding my issues. Now I'm told to wait up to ten days for a supervisor to speak to me. I don't have any trust in their banking procedures because they haven't gotten anything done and keep changing the story to give me a false sense of hope. Im asking to receive my 1384 dollars back from a ach transfer and the remaining amount of $12511.00 as well from my closed savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs.

      Have placed 24,391 in a savings account. Marcus has not allowed us to withdraw despite numerous phone calls, identity verifications over the last three weeks. The account is now "locked". The company is refusing to provide further information.
