      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.

      **********************, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank), received the above-referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on September 27, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* ******** (the "Customer) related to accessing the funds within their ************** Account (OSA).
      On September 13, 2024, the Bank conducted an account maintenance review of the Customers profile and identified security concerns regarding the linked external account. Subsequently, the Bank restricted the Customers OSA until the security concerns could be resolved.
      On September 17, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access. A Bank specialist then conducted a three-way call with the Customer and the external institution to verify the ownership of the external account; however, the external institution confirmed the account had been owned by a third-party. In accordance with the Banks Deposit Account Agreement, an external account must be in the name of the customer. Consequently, the Bank specialist informed the Customer of that the Bank has made the business decision to close the Customers ***. Unfortunately, the Customer experienced a delay in having the funds returned to the funding account.
      On September 27, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank requesting to transfer the funds to the original funding account. The Bank successfully processed the Customers request to transfer the funds and later closed the Customers OSA.
      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      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.

      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 25, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the
      concerns raised by Yuang Tang (the “Customer”) related to transferring funds
      from their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On
      September 20, 2024, the Customer initiated an outgoing wire transfer from their
      OSA to an external account. During the transfer processing review, the
      Bank identified security concerns regarding the account and contacted the
      Customer informing of the declined transfer due to the security concerns. During
      the call, the Customer initiated another outgoing wire transfer request to an
      external account. During the transfer processing review, the Bank again
      identified security concerns, declined the transfer, and restricted the OSA
      until the security concerns could be resolved. Subsequently, the Customer
      contacted the Bank regarding their OSA access; however, the Bank could not
      successfully authenticate the Customer and the security concerns remained.
      On
      September 23, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account
      access and the Bank Specialist erroneously removed the restrictions from the
      Customer’s account and assisted with the transfer request. Consequently, during
      the transfer processing review, the Bank reversed the transfer, as security
      concerns remained. On September 27, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank and
      the Bank specialist successfully verified the Customer using alternate methods
      and removed the restriction. The Bank specialist advised the Customer to
      reinitiate the transfer after October 5, 2024.
      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      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.  



      Sincerely,

      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. Please contact me if you need additional information.

      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.
      However, their explanation is incorrect. I received an email asking me to contact Marcus by Goldman Sachs. I provided them with two notarized affidavits of identity. Marcus by Goldman Sachs did not provide a courtesy transfer of my funds. I only received the transfer of funds after providing the affidavits of identity.

      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.

      I am rejecting this response because:


      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.

      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.

The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* ******** (the “Primary Owner”) related to accessing their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
      On August 30, 2024, the Joint Owner initiated an outgoing transfer from their OSA to an external account. On September 2, 2024, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the account and reversed the transfer. Subsequently, the Bank attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Joint Owner to address the security concerns; thus, the Bank restricted the OSA until the security concerns could be resolved.
      On September 11, 2024, the Joint Owner contacted the Bank regarding their OSA access and the Bank initiated an investigation and restricted the OSA for the protection of the Primary Owner and Joint Owner (“Account Owners”). On September 20, 2024, the Account Owners contacted the Bank regarding access to their OSA; however, the Bank was unable to authenticate the Account Owners and the security concerns remained.
      Between September 23 and September 26, 2024, the Bank concluded the investigation, cleared the concerns, and removed the restriction from the OSA. On September 26, 2024, the Bank contacted the Primary Owner to advise of the restriction removal. The Customer then requested to close their OSA and have the funds transferred to an external account. The Bank successfully processed the transfer and the closed the OSA on September 27, 2024.
      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      I have used Marcus High-yield savings account for over a year. Every time, I try to transfer funds out to my checking account, it's a hassle trying to deal with Marcus customer service line. I have never encountered more irresponsible and disrespectful customer service than Marcus. One of the customer service representative even cussed at me and hung up the phone on me.
      They repeatedly tell me the phone number I used to open the account is not under my name and that I would have no way to verify my identity. After 5th call, a representative finally tells me I can file a notarized affidavit of identity and that he will mail it out to my address. The document was never sent to me, so I had to go online and find the form on the Marcus website. Absolutely terrible experience all around trying to deal with Marcus customer service. I am now waiting for the verification after sending out the affidavit and am waiting so that I can transfer the fund out of my Marcus account.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I did not make this payment, this payment was not authorized by me. No one has access to my account. I received the email at 4:30 in the morning saying payment was made. What is going on. I want to see proof this was done by my iPad 
      I think I have to go to small claims court and try and get my money back. 

      Sincerely,

      I have more than 80% of my savings in the Marcus bank account. And one day morning I received an email from them to call them back in regarding to my account. Their representative asked me authentication questions dating back to +10 years ago such as my first cell phone number and license plate on my first car. I answered them to the best of my knowledge but they decided to lock me out of my account. They have said they would reach out to me in 5 business days while my savings are locked up in my account. The whole process is very stressful and concerning and my money is still locked up without further notification on the next step. I really hope the lock can be lifted and my concern can be addressed very soon.
