I did two transfer out from Marcus savings account to external my Bank of America account on 8/27 but returned, I called to verify the transactions but they locked my account. I provided all the correct info to verify but the customer service rep and plus supervisor gave me hard time keeping saying they cannot verify me, I must wait for someone from their review department to call me. I got a missed phone call on 9/2 from Marcus and the lady left message ask me call back to Marcus, I did, but the reps there still refuse to verify and let me wait for another phone call. I totally called 5 times since 8/28 but still has not get an answer. I feel like Marcus intentionally hold funds and locked account. it is shady because the following ready during the phone calls:
1. they keep saying will send me a code to 2 phone numbers that I don't recognize
2. they also said since you have CA driver's license, so they cannot send me code
3. they asked me if I want to change my secret questions even cannot verify me
4. they transfer me to Goldman Sachs customer phone, saying they don't have full of my info, only Goldman Sachs has. Goldman Sachs customer rep verified me successfully by using the info I provided to Marcus, same answers
5. after they failed to verify me, I asked I can provide my account number to make sure we are talking about the customer is me, but they said giving account won't help
6. they should verify external accounts already after I setup my own external account earlier. I did many times transfer in & out before, no problem, but this time they locked my account
7. they don't transfer me to the correct department when I call they, only let me wait for someone call me. If I miss the incoming call, I have to call back report the issue again and again, then waiting for they call me back one more time.
Now I want transfer the money around $161k to my external account, this is urgent funds to buy the house and i will get penalty if I don't pay escrow on timeBusiness Response

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 4, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by Wenjuan Meng (the “Customer”) related to accessing funds in their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
On August 28, 2024, the Customer initiated two outgoing transfers from their OSA to an external account. During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns with the Customer’s identity and reversed the transfer. The Bank attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to address the security concerns; thus, the Bank restricted the Customer’s OSA until the concerns could be resolved. Later that day, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their OSA access; however, the Bank could not successfully authenticate the Customer and the security concerns remained.
After further review, on September 9, 2024, the Bank contacted the Customer and assisted with resolving the security concerns using alternate methods. Subsequently, the Bank specialist removed the restrictions from the Customer’s OSA. On September 10, 2024, the Customer initiated a successful outgoing wire transfer from their OSA to an external account.

My wife and I have a joint savings account at Marcus By Goldman Bank. We opened this account on July 14, 2024. Since we opened this account, it has been a nightmare. My access has been blocked twice and even after calling numerous times and providing all the correct information, they say there is a problem. I spend hours calling this bank, which has the worst customer service, and nothing gets resolved. On August 29, I transferred funds to my Bank of America and the amount was returned to the Marcus account. They still keep my access blocked. My wife has access to the account, but it is frozen. She can only see our money. They do not allow her to transfer her. Every time she tries to transfer, there is an error. It's absurd that they hold onto our money. They have done this to many customers. There are hundreds of customers with blocked accounts and with held money. It's no use calling, sending a message through chat because nothing gets done! They just deceive you and you are left without your money. They ask for 5 to 7 days to make a fool out of you and never call back. I feel cheated by this bank.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
In less than 50 days, I had my access blocked. Dozens of times I call and they never solve the problem. My money continues to be held. My wife and I cannot withdraw our money to pay our rent. My wife scheduled a transfer for 09/09/24 in the amount of 2,500.00 and once again you did not complete the transfer, holding our money. She made another transfer appointment for 1,500.00 for 11/11/24 and we are waiting. So far, I am still without money and with our money held. I logged into my Marcus account now and my access was restored, I made a transfer of 2,546.09 at this moment. I hope these transfers are made and are in my Bank of America account. Before I recover my money held by Marcus bank, I will not withdraw the complaint, I will do so after our money is returned.

On June 8th 2023 my account was opened. On November 14th/15th 2023 I tried to withdraw $4,000 from my savings account to my checking account ( and my transaction got cancelled and I called Marcus by Goldman Sachs and they told me my account was locked due to fraudulent activity and whether they can confirm my identity and they use a phone number code system but they told me that my phone number wasn't coming up in their system because I just had my number for less than three months, so they asked me if I had an alternate phone number but I did not but they said they can verify my identity with a drivers license and I was able to acquire my driver's license by December 4th 2023 and when I called to use it they said it can't be used because Oklahoma driver license doesn't qualify they also let me know before I called them back on December 5th 2023 that I could use an affidavit of identity to get the money back but they always said I would get it in the mail but I never did I ended up having to get the affidavit of identity myself at a UPS which I mailed to their address which they received on the 13th of December and after multiple calles they always extended the deadline and I was so overwhelmed by the experience that I got tired. I still used to get monthly balances of the account and the last one I received was in march due to moving to a different address but I recently called them which was on August 27 2024 and that was the day my account got closed and moved to unclaimed funds and I called them back and they said it had already been closed due to inactivity since April of 2024. and as of March 31st 2024 there is 4,636.62 in the account and I want all of it back please.Business Response

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
2, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to
address the concerns raised by Toluwalase Iyelolu (the "Customer”) related
to accessing funds from their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
On November 17, 2023, the
Customer initiated multiple outgoing transfer requests from their OSA to an external
account. During the transfer processing review, the Bank identified security
concerns regarding the Customer’s identity, declined the transfer, and
restricted the OSA until the security concerns could be resolved. Subsequently,
the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their transfer requests, however, the
Bank could not successfully authenticate the Customer and the security concerns
remained.
As an alternative verification
method, the Bank requested an Affidavit of Identity (“AOI”) and the Bank
received the completed AOI from the Customer on December 13, 2024. Unfortunately,
due to agent error, the completed AOI was not properly reviewed. Subsequently,
due to the unresolved security concerns, the Bank made a business decision to
close the Customer’s OSA.
On August 27, 2024, the Customer
contacted the Bank regarding their OSA access and, after further review, a Bank
specialist resolved the security concerns by verifying the Customer’s identity
with the previously received AOI. Further, the Bank specialist advised the
Customer that the funds must be transferred to the respective funding account.
On September 6, 2024, the Bank reopened the Customer’s OSA with the appropriate
funds and interested credited. Later that day, the Customer contacted the Bank
to initiate an outgoing transfer request from their OSA to the respective funding
account, which the Bank specialist successfully processed.
Due to the experience, the Bank
provided the Customer’s account with a credit as a token of goodwill.
Based on the above details, the
Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

The past year a company UTRTIN.com has been charging random amounts to my account. I've disputed them 5 times now. The last two times the customer service rep said they will ask for some written confirmation for me and nothing has been provided. Just the response that the "investigation team has made a determination that the charges are good" I can never get to a supervisor or someone in upper management. only employees that read a script. There are 33 transactions totaling around $1000.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I did not make these purchases. if you go on the utrtin.com website and read it. it's for some kind of membership. If you select the 'billing questions' tab and read it. it contradicts what charges they are sending to my apple card. I'll type it here beacuse i've asked EVERYTIME for them to go check out the website. it reads "We operate a repead billing policy. This means that once your initial membership period has expired, for your convenience, your membership will be automatically be renewed at the SAME RATE that you signed up for ....If you will look at all the different amounts they are passing through, it is so obvious this is a scan company. WHY can you provide me ANY information about what it is i purchased? I"ve asked for this in writing from UTRTIN the last two rounds of complaints that went through the wallet app. I'm in a vicious loop. the charges are put back on my account ... I go through the app and complaing and the rep says they will take care of it. a few weeks later they come right back to my account.

on Aug 5, 2024, I opened a CD with Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and transferred 10,000.00 from my Truist bank savings. to that account. Aug 8, 2024, I transferred 10,000.00 from another Goldman Sach account. Aug 14, 2024 I inadvertently transferred 10,000.00 from a Truist account, which held retained earnings from my business. I was not aware at the time of the restrictions as I had not yet received any documents regarding them from the bank yet.
I was later advised that the transfer from the business account was not possible, and that the funds would need to be withdrawn. I contacted Marcus, whose representative advised the transfer would need to be done on their end, which I authorized.
I then received a call from Marcus advising the transfer was denied, and that the account would have to be closed, and all the deposits returned. I agreed, and authorized the closing of the account and return of the deposits.
I Subsequently received several more calls from Marcus representatives, contradicting this arrangement, however the account was closed, and access to any funds was denied. Several calls later, I received another request confirmation, then a decline. A second confirmation was received , followed by another decline.
Aug 30, 2024 I received a call from a Marcus representative who advised he had corrected the issue. While in the process of completing this procedure when we got cut off.
I then called back the number which was answered by another employee. I asked to speak to the previous employee, but this request was denied. I requested that they contact, as it had only been 30 min prior; this again was refused.
I was then transferred to different employee, who advised nothing told to me by any of the other employees was wrong. She again denied the transfer, adding no funds would be returned. The account is now locked.
I now have $30,000.00 in limbo, with no access, not earning interest (for me) and apparently no recourse beyond your office.Business Response

concerns raised by Daniel Valentino (the “Customer”) related to a Certificate
of Deposit (“CD”).

August 5, 2024, the Customer opened a CD and funded it the same day via an
external account. On August 13, 2024, during an account maintenance review, the
Bank identified security concerns regarding the external account and attempted
unsuccessfully to contact the Customer. Consequently, the Bank restricted the Customer’s
CD until the security concerns could be resolved. Per the Bank’s Deposit
Account Agreement (“DAA”), a customer may not use a business account as an
external account. On August 15, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank and a Bank
specialist informed the Customer the external account was not in compliance with
the Bank’s DAA.
On August 20, 2024, the Bank contacted the Customer and
advised the funds need to return to the funding account. On August 27, 2024,
the Customer requested to close the CD and transfer funds to the external
account. Subsequently, the Bank specialist initiated the transfer from the CD
to the external account on August 28, 2024. However, the next day, the Bank
identified additional security concerns regarding the transfer and the external
account. That same day, the Bank attempted unsuccessfully to contact the
Customer to address the security concerns; thus, the Bank reversed the transfer
and restricted the Customer’s CD until the security concerns could be resolved.
On September 17 and September 18, 2024, the Bank contacted
the Customer to inform them of the Bank’s decision to close the CD and to
transfer the funds to the funding account. The Bank is currently in the process
of sending funds back to the funding account and processing the closure of the
CD.

Initiated a wire transfer for a closing needed that day. I was told they would not do a wire transfer to an escrow account and needed to transfer to a linked account. I initiated the to my linked account. I was told it could take busineas days for a wire transfer. I receive a voicemail that day from Marcus to call them back.

Based on the investigation and a review of the evidence provided, the Bank

the temporary credit that was applied to the account was reversed on June 12,

I am filing this complaint regarding the failure of Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to properly investigate my disputes related to incorrect negative information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve these inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have responded with stall tactics rather than conducting a thorough investigation as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
The presence of these inaccurate negative items on my credit report has adversely affected my credit score and my ability to obtain credit. This has caused significant stress and financial hardship.

The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred.
According to the Bank’s records, the Customer opened an Apple Card and

limited to Late Payments, Missed Payments, or other defaults on the account.
The account was charged off on November 30, 2023, as a result of the Customer
failing to make a payment to satisfy the amount due by May 31, 2023. The Bank
has reviewed the customer’s tradelines with TransUnion, Experian and
Equifax. The Customer’s account status is reflecting correctly as
charged off with TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. The Bank has confirmed we

Agencies and is unable to remove the negative remarks on the Customer’s
credit reporting.

My account was locked several months ago without any apparent reason. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to resolve the issue by calling customer support. Each time, I was told that they were unable to verify my identity using my phone number.
After numerous calls, they eventually agreed to let me download an affidavit form. I completed and mailed the form as instructed, but the processing of my request has been extremely slow. Despite the significant time that has passed, the issue remains unresolved, and I am still waiting for a resolution.Business Response

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 29, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to
address the concerns raised by Boao Dong (the “Customer”) related to accessing
their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
Per the Bank’s previous response,
on May 21, 2024, the Bank conducted an account maintenance review, identified security concerns
regarding the Customer’s identity, and restricted the OSA. Between June 11,
2024 and August 9, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their
account access, but the security concerns remained. As an alternative
verification method, the Bank determined an Affidavit of Identity (“AOI”) was
required to resolve the outstanding security concerns. Unfortunately, due to an
inadvertent error, the Bank experienced a delay in mailing the AOI to the
Customer.
On August 16, 2024, the Bank
mailed an AOI to the Customer. On September 4, 2024, the Bank received the completed
AOI from the Customer and approved the documentation. Subsequently, a Bank
specialist restored the Customers online banking access.
Based on the above details, the
Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.
