      I have been trying for months to get taxes taken out of interest income earned on a savings acct with MARCUS. They assured me that it was done, but I can not see that it has. I have been put on hold many times indefinitely only to be transferred to wrong dept. or disconnected completely. I've asked to speak to a manager or escalations to no avail. This is unacceptable for a bank of this stature, and I am at a loss for gaining any assistance.

      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 August 28, 2024. The Bank appreciates the
      opportunity to address the concerns raised by Leslie Burford (the “Customer”)
      related to backup withholding (“BUWH”) applied to their Online Savings Account
      (“OSA”).
      On February 20, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank
      requesting to apply BUWH to their OSA. A Bank specialist informed the Customer
      a new tax certification document will be mailed to the Customer’s address on
      file; however,  the Bank experienced a delay in
      mailing the document.
      On March 13, 2024 and March 22, 2024 , the Customer contacted the Bank
      and advised the tax certification had not been received. After confirming the
      Customer’s address, the Bank mailed another document to the Customer on March
      26, 2024. On April 10, 2024, the Bank received the documentation from the
      Customer. After further review, the Bank reviewed and determined the documentation
      to be incomplete.
      On August 27, 2024 , the Customer contacted the Bank
      regarding the tax documentation and a Bank specialist advised that the received
      document had been incomplete. The following day , the Customer contacted the Bank
      requesting to close their OSA and the Bank successfully processed the
      Customer’s requested later that same day.
      Based
      on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint be closed.

      Complaint: 22205399



      I am rejecting this response because:

      I just want it noted that it took six months to even get something done, and when I did send in what they asked for, they did not bother to tell me it was incorrect and just left it there to leave me to believe it was getting done? They also left out other communications where I was put on hold for extended periods of time with no assistance, or completely disconnected. Does not sound like a good way to run a bank, or any other business for that matter. I have heard this opinion shared by many others, and as you can see, I moved my money and will suggest to others that they do the same. Why bother recording these calls if nothing is done to improve customer service?


      Sincerely,



      Leslie Burford

      Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the above-referenced complaint
      related to Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint Portal
      on August 27, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the
      concerns raised by Juan Martinez (the “Customer”) related to validation of
      the debt owed for the Apple Card.
      The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred.
      According to the Bank’s records, the Customer opened the account on June 20,
      2021. During the application process, the Customer is provided with and must
      consent to the Apple Card Customer Agreement, which discloses that the
      Customer agrees that the Bank may report information to the Credit Reporting
      Agencies regarding the account, which includes but is not limited to Late
      Payments, Missed Payments, or other defaults on the account.
      The Bank confirmed the account was reported accurately to the Credit
      Reporting Agencies. The Customer did not make a payment to satisfy at least
      the minimum amount due by October 31, 2023. As a result, the Bank reported
      the account past due to the Credit Reporting Agencies. The Bank confirmed the
      account was closed and charged off as of May 31, 2024. The Bank is obligated
      to report accurately to Credit Reporting Agencies and is unable to update the
      Customer’s credit reporting.
      The Bank sent the Customer the requested documents validating the Customer's
      debt including a copy of the Apple Card Customer Agreement and 12 months of
      statement history showing records of transactions and payments to validate
      the balance and the debt owed. The Customer is responsible for the balance on
      the account in the amount of ********* provided in the latest statement from
      May 31, 2024.
      Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be
      closed.

      I had a credit card with Marcus which I had to close today because I was charged interest in the amount of $19.03 even though my balance was paid in full. I am requesting that amount to be refunded to me in the form of a check as I was wrongfully charged and the agent was not willing to refund the interest.

      Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on August 27, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ************************************* (the Customer) related to interest charges on the ** Card.

      The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no error occurred. To avoid being charged interest on purchases, customers must pay the statement balance in full every month on or before the due date. If the statement balance is not paid by the due date, interest begins to accrue. Interest is charged on the unpaid portion of the balance and accrues on new purchases until the statement balance is paid in full. Any accrued interest will appear on the next statement. When interest charges are assessed after the statement balance in paid in full, it is because the Customer paid the prior monthly balance after the due date. Additional details regarding how the Bank calculates interest can be found in the ** Card Customer Agreement.

      Paying the statement balance stops additional interest from accruing. However, since the Customer did not pay the June 2024 statement balance in full, the account was assessed interest on the July **************************************************************************** full. The Banks records indicate the Customer paid the July 2024 statement balance in full on August 21, 2024, as a result, the account was assessed interest on the statement balance until that date and the account was assessed interest in the amount of $19.03 on August 24, 2024. The Bank confirmed that the interest charge is correct and accurate. As a courtesy, the Bank refunded the Customer interest charges of $13.42 and a late fee of $29.00 from the prior month on August 14, 2024. The Bank is unable to provide further compensation. The Customer completed a payment of $19.03 on August 26, 2024, bringing the account balance to $0.00. No further interest charges will be assessed on the upcoming statement.

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

      I have been trying to cancel three CDs and have the money refunded and transferred to my bank account for three weeks and they keep giving me the run around. They had no problem taking my money from the very same bank account and now they will not give it back. This is a warning to all people that are thinking of doing business with this company. Count the number of complaints the BBB received just in the month of August 2024. Do not give them your money they make it impossible to get it back. I'm so disappointed in this company as well as completely frustrated.

      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
      August 26, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns
      raised by Connie White (the “Customer”) related to closing their Certificate of
      Deposits (“CD”).
      On
      August 12, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank requesting to close their CDs and
      a Bank specialist assisted with initiating the closures by transferring funds to
      an external account. During the transfer processing reviews, the Bank
      identified security concerns with the ownership of the external account.
      Consequently, the Bank declined the transfers.
      On
      August 19, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank and a Bank specialist advised
      the Customer that the external account ownership needed verification. The Bank
      specialist then assisted with conducting a three-way call with the Customer and
      external institution verifying the external account’s ownership. In addition,
      the Bank specialist restored the Customer’s online banking access and
      re-initiated the closure of the CDs. However, on August 21, 2024, the Customer
      contacted the Bank to inform that the account information was incorrect. As a
      result of the incorrect account information, the Customer experienced a delay
      in closing their CDs.
      On
      August 26, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank to re-initiate the closure of
      their CDs and the Bank successfully processed the Customer’s request on August
      27, 2024 and August 28, 2024.
      Based on
      the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.

      I opened this saving account recently and deposited $20,000 to it on 8/20/2024. Today, I found they locked my account for no reasons, and I lose my access to the account. I have called Marcus and they asked my phone number to verify, but my phone number isn't applicable for reasons they don't know. Now I need to wait for 2-7 days for them to reach out and verify that I am who I am, but I need to unlock my account urgently.

      4/2/24 called Marcus to cancel my GM Mastercard. Paid the balance in full over the phone at that time. Apparently on that date there was a $10 pending charge to Apple that we were not aware of. On April 3rd, after the account was closed, GM allowed the $10 apple charge to process. Fast forward. July 31 I got a phone call that we owed them $72.77. I responded that we closed our account. At that point the woman on the other line was just going to hang up but in my mind I thought if she did that something else would happen like being sent to collections and be unaware of why. So I stopped her from hanging up. I told them even though I did not believe I legally had to pay the $10 apple charge because the account had been closed that I would pay it anyway. That day I made a $10 payment and they opened an inquiry. I have that inquiry number. That inquiry shouldve had a resolution within 10 business days. It did not. 8/16/24 they called and to tell me I now owe them $114.07. In the time between the inquiry and the 16th they added additional late fees and interest onto my balance. This is all interest and fees on something that shouldnt ever have been drafted on a CLOSED account and it has now gone from $62.77 to $115.07 since July 31 even while its under investigation I requested that day that a complaint be made. I heard back today, 8/23 and the manager was instructed to tell me they did not rule in my favor. When I requested to speak to the deciding members he said he was unable to transfer me. Today 8/23/24 I requested another complaint and inquiry be made asking the managers to play back the recorded conversation from 4/2/24 where their agent told me I was paid in full. I have until 9/10/24 for this to be resolved or they add on even more fees and interest all due to a charge that should not have processed on a closed account. A new complaint has been filed with the company. I requested a phone call. One case number B-198701041894

      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. It is unfortunate that it took 3 phone calls on my own and over an hour and half of my time on the phone with them but only one complaint with BBB to work this out. I do appreciate that the BBB worked it out for me. In the future I would hope that GM Mastercard would not make their customers go to such great lengths to resolve simple issues such as this.

      I have over $10,000 in my high yield savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. The first time I tried to make a withdrawal it was reversed without explanation. I got a voicemail from them when I was at work saying I needed to call back. It took 4 different times of my calling them to even be able to speak with you I was supposed to speak to. The first time I waited on hold and when I finally got to the specialist, her phone stopped working and she couldn’t hear me. Second time after waiting on hold for a while, it went to the end of call survey even though I hadn’t spoken to a specialist yet. Third time the employee said they had a fire drill and would call me back after, but never did. The fourth time I finally talked to someone and they said they needed to verify me. They said they tried verifying by sending me a code but they couldn’t for some reason, even though my phone number hasn’t changed. They said they could call me back to verify. They did and answered but they said that wasn’t good enough so they’re asking me questions. I answer them all correctly. (SSN, DOB, address, etc). They said they can’t verify me and they need to send me an affidavit by mail to sign and notarize (7-10 business days) then once I do that it will take them 7-10 business days to process. Before I can even see about getting MY money back. My address hasn’t changed either. It’s the same address on all my statements from them. I believe this is intentional and they are trying to keep peoples money. I read many other people’s experiences online that were very similar. I understand needing to verify identity because of fraud issues, but I did everything they asked of me and that should be more than enough verification. Not to mention I can even log into my account still.

      We opened a high yield savings account several years ago with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. Account worked as advertised until recently. We have been trying for 2 weeks to transfer funds to our primary bank account, which has been validated within their system, to pay bills. Finally we learned the issue preventing the transfer of funds was an authentication problem with my husband. After 2 hours on the phone trying to authenticate we are still unable to access our funds and they said we have to wait 3-7 business days for them to call my husbands phone #. My husband provided his social security #, date of birth, drivers license, and secret account password to 6 different people and they say they are still unable to authenticate him. We have given every piece of information that was provided up front when we setup the account but they are still unable to authenticate him. They then ask if he has access to an old phone number we never provided them that he had ***** years ago in college. I spoke with several supervisors and asked to speak with someone higher up which they told me there was no higher supervisor to speak to. Our funds are essentially frozen until they authenticate my husband using a process that does not align with the information we provided at account setup. This is a joint account. I have no idea why I cannot initiate a simple account transfer since I have been authenticated. Given these ridiculous issues we wish to close the account immediately but are unable to because of these authentication issues my husband cannot complete. Please help.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      This makes no sense. I could likely apply for a new card and probably get approved for 10k+ . I am rejecting this because this doesn't even make any common sense. You have made this card completely worthless. I'll just file a complaint with the regulatory commission as well. 
      Sincerely,
