Marcus is not allowing us to access our life savings, preventing us from transferring our money out of their institution to another account that we own. The complete process has been going on for 3 weeks with no resolution in sight. Over the phone, Marcus keeps on telling us that they can't verify us through the phone so they have to use a driver's license, but the primary account holder does not have a drivers license, and the customer service representative will not accept any other form of ID including State ID, Passport, or ****************** issued ID.We have been calling customer support between May 2 and May 20 with no resolution. Each time, they will say that they are escalating the case and someone will call back the next day but no one is calling back. We need access to our money.Business Response

Paid off a card with Goldman Sachs In the 27th of February and I am being told I have to pay interest fees. They are saying it accrued after pay off. $29.00 late fees and $82.29 for interest fees two times. I tried talking to Goldman Sachs multiple times (around 5) and when I ask what this is for, I keep getting different answers, none of them consistent with each other.Business Response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on May 17, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******************* (the Customer)related to interest assessed on a ** Card account.
The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no Bank error occurred. To avoid interest charges on purchases, customers are required to pay the statement balance in full as of the end of the previous statement cycle by the due date every month. To avoid late fees, customers are required to pay at least the minimum due as of the end of the previous statement cycle by the due date every month. The Statement balance and due date are shown on the monthly statement. If the statement balance is not paid in full on or before the due date, customers are charged interest on the balance for the days until the customer fully pays it off. This is also known as trailing interest. 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 February 2024 statement balance in full, the account was assessed interest on the March ************************************************************************** full. The Banks records indicate the Customer paid the March 2024 statement balance in full on February 27, 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 $82.29 on March 4, 2024. The customer has not made a payment to satisfy at least the minimum amount due by April 1, 2024, resulting in late fees to accrue on the account. As a courtesy, the Bank applied a credit in the amount of $25.00 to partially reimburse the interest charges assessed to the account. The Bank is unable to provide the Customer with additional interest or late fee reimbursement.

Dear BBB,
I am writing to file a complaint against Marcus Bank regarding my account closure and fund withdrawal request. Due to a change in my phone number, I am unable to access my account and restore my credentials. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue with Marcus Bank, I have not received adequate assistance.
I urgently need to close my account and withdraw all funds to my currently linked bank account. The lack of support from Marcus Bank has caused significant inconvenience and stress.
I request the BBB's assistance in facilitating the immediate closure of my Marcus Bank account and the prompt transfer of my funds to my linked bank account.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

On 5/13/2024, I attempted to initiate an *** transfer to withdraw funds from my savings account with ********************** and deposit them into another savings account I recently opened. However, the *** transfer was refused and reversed, and my account was suddenly locked for any further transactions. Despite attempts to resolve this issue by contacting Marcus by Goldman Sachs customer service, I have not been able to unlock my account or access my funds. This situation has caused me significant inconvenience and financial stress as I am unable to access my own money. In addition, I attempted to use the funds to meet the deposit requirements for the welcome bonus for the other savings accounts, therefore, the unreasonable restrictions posed by Marcus made me unable to meet the deposit requirements in time causing a financial loss of $1,500.Business Response
