  Apple charged my Apple Card without authorization. Goldman Sachs allowed these charges. My default payment method has always been my Amazon Prime card. This was a breach of trust and user control. *** I am filing a formal complaint regarding unauthorized charges applied to my Apple Card, issued by Goldman Sachs, despite my Amazon Prime Visa being set as my default payment method in Apple Pay for as long as I’ve been using the service.
  
  I did not authorize these charges, nor did I ever intentionally use the Apple Card. Apple’s system overrode my selected default payment method without my consent, resulting in a $753 balance being fraudulently applied to a card I never meant to use. This is a deceptive and unethical use of my stored payment data, and it undermines my consumer rights.
  
  I demand the following:
      1.    A full investigation into how these charges occurred.
      2.    Immediate reversal of all unauthorized charges.
      3.    Permanent disconnection of the Apple Card from my Apple ID and Apple Pay accounts.
      4.    Written acknowledgment from all parties that my complaint has been received and acted upon.
  
  I am submitting this complaint in writing because the phone support process has been frustrating, exhausting, and ineffective. I want a paper trail and a written resolution.

  Marcus by Goldman Sachs closed my savings account without permission and is withholding my funds (approximately $40,000). I'm seeking the immediate return of that money.
  On June 9, 2025, I made a deposit of $6,736.00 to my online savings account with Goldman Sachs. On June 12, I was notified that because I had logged in to my online account via my mobile device from the state of Michigan, my account had been locked due to a fraud investigation (I live less than 40 miles from Michigan). After completing a security review and finding no fraud, Goldman Sachs required me to open a new account, where $35,069.09 was transferred from my old account. The $6,736.00 deposit was held in the old account pending additional review.
  On June 16, 2025, the $6,736.00 were made available.
  On June 30, 2025, I logged on to my online savings account and had no funds and no accounts available. Upon contacting Goldman Sachs, I was told that both savings accounts (old and new) had been closed due to the $6,736.00 having been on hold during the time in which they required me to open a new account, and that none of my funds were available without opening a dispute with the bank for having closed the accounts without my permission. I was told that the dispute resolution process can take up to 45 business days, during which time I have no access to any funds, and no ability to check on the status of the dispute. I'm seeking help to regain access to my money.

  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 30, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** ***** (the “Customer”) related to their Online Savings Accounts (“OSA”).
  On June 11, 2025, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customer’s profile and restricted their account. The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access. To resolve security concerns, a Bank specialist completed an authentication process to verify the Customer’s identity and confirmed the recent login activity on the account. Unfortunately, the Bank specialist did not address the remaining security concerns on the account. Consequently, the Bank closed the Customer’s OSAs on June 16, 2025 due to the outstanding security concerns.
  On June 30, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their OSAs and a Bank specialist opened an investigation into the Customer’s concerns. Currently, the Bank is in the process of reopening the Customer’s OSAs.
  Due to the experience, the Bank has provided the Customer with a credit to their account as a token of goodwill.
  Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  While some of my money has been returned, some is still missing. When the accounts were closed on 6/16, interest was deducted ($476.54). In every interaction I've had, I've been told by customer service that all the funds would be returned, including interest. I spoke with customer service today (7/11; case #************) and was told that a "request to return interest" was never entered by Marcus staff. When those funds are returned, with interest, I will consider this matter resolved.
  
  
  
  Sincerely,

  6/26/25 attempted to transfer from my Marcus Savings account- transfer denied.
  6/27-6/28 - Marcus gives no reasons for denial of transfer. They then place my account on hold and I have no access to my money. No reasons given. Marcus then doesn’t transfer me to anyone from any department that I asked for. Specifically asked for legal department and they don’t transfer me. At this point Marcus is unduly withholding my money from me. I am filling this complaint in hopes that the issue is resolved by Monday June 30 as stated by several Marcus employees.

  I'm purchasing a new home. My closing date is coming up and I transferred money from my Marcus account to my Bank of America account. 2 hours later I get an email stating to give them a call. I call them, they say they denied the transaction. The reason was although I can transfer my money anytime I want, the account is built for high returns...whatever the heck that means. So, they blocked the transfer yet the money does not show up in my account and they are telling me I have to wait 1-3 business days to see it and then request another transfer. My closing is Monday. I needed the money back in my account by Friday. It's now Wednesday after hours. So, they make a mistake blocking my transfer, my money is now who knows where for the next 1-3 days and my closing is supposed to take place in 3 business day, and it takes at least 1 business day to transfer. Chances are high that I will be suing them but I absolutely will never do business with them again after this.

  My Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings account has been locked 3 times in 10 days since opening.
  
  TIMELINE: (all NY TIME)
  - 06/10/25 02:51: Account opened
  - 06/10/25 11:22: Account locked (1st time) - asked to call support to verify identity
  - 06/18/25 07:19: Account locked (2nd time)- Called support, was told to call back after 08:00 for security team
  - 06/18/25 13:20: Called again, account unlocked. Told representative this was the SECOND time my account was locked
  - 06/19/25: Discovered account was locked again (3rd time)
  - 06/20/25 08:42: Called support about locked account, answered all identity verification questions correctly but was denied access. Representative promised someone would contact me within ONE BUSINESS DAY to resolve this issue.
  - 06/24/25 (today): Still no callback after 4+ days
  
  ISSUES:
  1. Three account lockouts in 10 days for a brand new customer
  2. Failed identity verification despite answering all questions correctly
  3. Broken promise - no callback within promised timeframe
  4. No explanation for repeated lockouts
  5. Poor customer service for new account holder
  
  I need immediate account access, explanation for repeated lockouts, and assurance this pattern will stop. This level of service is unacceptable for any financial institution.

  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 25, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by **** ****** ******* (the "Customer”) related to accessing their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
  On June 10, 2025, the Customer submitted an application via the Bank’s website. As part of the Bank’s application process, the Bank conducts a review to verify the identity of each applicant. During the application review process, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customer’s identity and requested the Customer to contact the Bank. Later that same day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their application. During the call, a Bank specialist verified the Customer’s identity and advised the Customer their application was approved.
  On June 17, 2025, following an account maintenance review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customer’s profile and restricted the OSA. The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access. To resolve security concerns, a Bank specialist verified the Customer using alternate methods and restored the Customer’s online banking access.
  On June 19, 2025, due to a technical error, the Bank identified additional security concerns regarding the Customer’s identity and restricted the OSA until the security concerns could be resolved. The following day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned error, the Customer experienced a delay in regaining access to their account.
  After further review, on June 26, 2025, the Bank resolved the security concerns and restored the Customer’s banking access. Due to the experience, the Bank has provided the Customer with a credit to the account as a token of goodwill.

  Complaint: 23514309
  
  
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Marcus's response addresses only the incidents through June but fails to resolve the underlying systemic issues, which have continued:
  
  ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS SINCE FILING COMPLAINT:
  July 2nd, 2025 - 4th Account Lockout: While trying to add 2 external accounts, app requested identity verification. During 23-minute verification call, completed all security questions, but call was cut off during 3-way verification with Schwab. Account was locked immediately after the call ended.
  
  July 2nd, 2025 - Second Call: 29-minute call where security questions had "cooldown period." Spoke with supervisor who gave identical response.
  
  Broken Callback Promise: Supervisor promised callback within 1 business day on July 2nd - never received, identical to the June 20th broken promise mentioned in my original complaint.
  
  Current Status: Account remains locked as of July 3rd, 2025.
  
  TIMELINE DISCREPANCIES FOR ORIGINAL COMPLAINT:
  Marcus claims access was "restored June 26th" but I still required the June 30th call mentioned in my complaint to regain access.
  
  UNRESOLVED CORE ISSUES:
  The "technical error" acknowledgment provides no explanation for why security concerns repeatedly trigger for the same verified customer. No accountability for the broken callback promise pattern (June 20th and now July 2nd).
  No systemic fix to prevent recurrence - proven by the July 2nd lockout occurring after their claimed resolution.
  
  INADEQUATE RESOLUTION:
  The fact that identical issues occurred again on July 2nd proves Marcus has not addressed the underlying systematic problems causing these recurring lockouts.
  
  RESOLUTION REQUIRED:
  I need reliable account access without arbitrary recurring lockouts and systematic fixes to prevent this documented pattern from continuing.
  
  
  P.S. Again, even after the update message from the business, my account is currently LOCKED. (As of July 3, 09:48 EST)
  
  Thank you for your time,

  I have over $25,000 in a Marcus savings account. Over the past few months, I have been overseas caring for an ill family member. Without my knowledge or consent, Marcus closed my account. I urgently need access to these funds to cover my family members medical expenses.I have called Marcus customer service multiple times, but I receive inconsistent information with every call. Each time, I am told that someone will follow up with me, but I have never received a single call back. It is clear that no one is seriously listening to or addressing my concerns.This matter is extremely urgent, and I need a resolution as soon as possible. My number is ************.

  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
  24, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised
  by Mengdi Chen (the "Customer”) related to accessing funds in their Online
  Savings Account (“OSA”).
  On July
  15, 2024, the Bank conducted a review of the Customer’s account,
  identified security concerns regarding the Customer’s identity, and restricted
  the OSA. As the Customer did not contact the Bank to address the concerns, on February 24, 2025, the Bank
  made the business decision to close the account.
  On June
  14, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding her account access. To
  resolve the security concerns, a Bank specialist completed an authentication
  process to verify the Customer’s identity and confirm the Customer authorized
  the opening of the account. Unfortunately, the Bank specialist
  did not restore the Customer’s account access following this call. As a result,
  the Customer experienced a delay in accessing their funds.
  After further review, on June 26,
  2025, the Bank restored the Customer’s account access, re-opened the Customer’s
  OSA, and credited the funds to the account with the appropriate interest. The
  following day, the Bank successfully processed the Customer’s request to
  transfer the funds from their OSA to a linked account.
  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, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.
