I closed a CD (ending in ****) due to financial hardship on September 26th and on the 29th, I called Marcus to see about possibly getting a hardship penalty waiver since the penalty fee was $106. I was told at that time that this could have been done if I had called in to close the CD and mention it then but apparently a few days later and no one there can simply credit my account even though the financial hardship is the same. I also chatted with customer service just prior to closing this CD and specifically asked if I could have a hardship waiver on the CD penalty and was told that was not an option. There is no mention of being able to close a CD and have the early penalty waived for hardship by calling in, it states that nowhere on the website, it does not state that anywhere when I closed it on the website and it seems very deceptive to basically hide this option from customers. If Goldman Sachs values me so little as a customer after having my accounts there for five years that refunding this penalty fee after just a few days can’t be done then I will be happy to move my funds over to another bank with better customer service with comparable rates for CDs and savings so there is no need to keep my money with Marcus in the future.
This particular CD was only open for a few weeks, and I have a good amount of funds still held in this bank. I was unable to call when I closed it online due to being out of town (the times I have called, I have been on hold for a lengthy amount of time and it takes much longer than just going on the website), and it was right before the weekend when the bank is closed, so I called on Monday morning. At the time I opened the CD I was not expecting the hardship and my work hours to be cut so drastically on top of that, so I was forced to close it to cover some unanticipated expenses, having to pay $106 to access my own money is a rather ridiculous and very expensive fee.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 29, 2025. The Bank
appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* *******
(the "Customer”) related to an Early withdrawal Penalty (“EWP”) assessed
on their Certificate of Deposit (“CD”).
On May 10, 2025, the Customer
opened a 14-month CD (account ending in ****), which the Customer funded on May
18, 2025. On September 25, 2025, the Customer accessed the Bank's online portal
and closed their CD prior to its maturity date. As a result, the Bank charged
an EWP.
On September 29, 2025, the
Customer contacted the Bank requesting that the EWP be refunded and a Bank
specialist erroneously advised an EWP waiver may have been available. However,
in accordance with the Bank’s Deposit Account Agreement, CD accounts incur an EWP
if a customer closes the CD prior to the maturity date. Unfortunately, the Bank
is unable to accommodate the Customer’s request to refund their EWP.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this
complaint to be closed.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because it does not satisfy my complaint at all and this bank holds no accountability to the misinformation it provided me. I will be closing my accounts and moving all my funds to another bank once these CDs mature even though I have been here for six years. This bank is worth millions and can’t refund a measly $100 for financial hardship for a long term customer. Greed is clearly this bank’s bottom line and I will gladly move my money elsewhere.

I signed up for the Marcus GM card ahead of purchasing my Chevy Bolt. I signed up for the card for the many benefits from Chevy EV owners, including the EV bill credit. If you pay your electric bill 6 times, you were to get $100 statement credit automatically. I should have earned multiple cycles of this by now, but the tracker disappeared from the Marcus website at some point. I contacted Marcus and GM, and they verified I would still get the credit as it is “on the back end” even if I don’t see it. I escalated this issue to the office of the president and they verified, it will go through. Now, my GM card has been transferred to *********, and ********* customer service will not approach this issue in any way. They refer me back to Marcus. The Marcus legacy line is completely disconnected, sending me back to *********. Prior, when I contacted GM about this issue, it took 3-5 months for them to get back to me. Can I please get my $200 credits, as I paid many of the bills, card is open and in good standing, can you please stand-by the bonus that was promised to me without so much additional work on my end? Thank you so much, let me know if you need more information.Business Response

However, the account was locked again on September 19th and this time I called in, they said that they do not have a way to unlock my account and they have escalated this issue. However, I have not heard anything back from them yet and I urgently need to access my account but no one from them was able to explain why my account was locked.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 20, 2025. The Bank appreciates the
opportunity to address the concerns raised by *** *** (the “Customer”) related to accessing their jointly
owned Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
On September 16, 2025, the Primary Owner initiated an outgoing
transfer from their jointly owned OSA to an external account. During the
transfer processing review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the
transfer and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Primary Owner to address
the concerns. Consequently, the Bank declined the transfer and restricted account access to the joint account until the concerns
could be resolved.
On September 18, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding their account access.
During the call, a
Bank specialist completed an authentication process to verify the Customer’s
identity. However, due to an inadvertent error, the Bank specialist restored the
Customer’s account access without addressing the security concerns affiliated
with the Primary Owner’s
account. As a result, the Bank later restricted the Customer’s account access
until all security concerns had been resolved.
On September 22, 2025, the Customer and the Primary Owner contacted
the Bank in an attempt to resolve the security concerns. A Bank specialist
proceeded to verify both account holders and confirmed the recent
activity on their accounts. In addition, the Bank specialist attempted to verify the external
account via a three-way call; however, the account holders declined to verify
the account and the restrictions remained.
After further review of the
account, on September 23, 2025, the Bank
made an exception to resolve the security concerns without verifying the external
account. Subsequently, the Bank restored both account holders’ online banking
access.
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, we kindly request this complaint be closed.Customer Answer

In April 2025, I opened a few CDs with Marcus.
Marcus locked my account in May/June 2025. When I called them, they said that I had to close all my CDs and open new CDs, or I could just close the CDs and transfer the money to other institutions without penalty. I decided to close my CDs and open new CDs with them. However, they penalized me when the new CDs were opened. After spending a total of about 15 hours on the phone with them to close CDs, open new CDs and get reimbursement for the penalty they have charged me($42.47), which they shouldn’t have and promised many times that they would reimburse me, the new CDs were opened, but they still haven’t reimbursed me for the penalty to date. I also asked many times for a compensation for all the time spent and stress from dealing with this issue. The people I spoke to always said that they would bring up the issue to someone above them, but they never gave me any compensations.
About 10 days ago, my account was locked again. After spending hours on the phone with them again to resolve the issue, they said that I have to close all my CDs again and open new ones. I told them that I have never received the reimbursement for the penalty from months ago. I told them that I didn't have the time to spend 15 more hours to close and open CDs like last time. Today, after spending half an hour on the phone with them, they hung up on me.
I don't know what is happening to my accounts.
I want my reimbursement of $42.47. I want to be able to access my accounts without spending 15 more hours to close and open accounts and deal with the problems arising from them. I want a confirmation that my funds are intact and not at risk.Business Response

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
17, 2025. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised
by ***** ** (the "Customer”) related to their Certificate of Deposits (“CD”).
On April
11, 2025, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customer’s profile
and contacted the Customer. During the call, the Customer informed the Bank
specialist the activity on their account was unauthorized. As a result, the
Bank attempted to assist the Customer with securing their profile; however, the
Customer disconnected from the call. Between May 16, 2025 and June 16, 2025,
the Bank assisted the Customer with securing their profile by closing the existing
compromised CDs, opening new CDs, and transferring the balances to new CDs.
On July
15, 2025, the Customer contacted the Bank regarding a penalty incurred in
closing one of the compromised CDs (account ending in 0242). Unfortunately, the
Bank experienced a delay in reviewing the Customer’s concerns. After further
review, the Bank determined the penalty had been applied in error.
On September
5, 2025, September 22, 2025 and September 23, 2025, the Bank attempted
unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to assist with reimbursing the penalty. On
September 24, 2025, the Customer returned the Bank’s call attempts and authorized
the reimbursement to their account. Currently, the Bank is in the process of
crediting the account for reimbursement.

The item they are charging me for was never delivered. That has been verified by the company it was bought and canceled from, the item WAS NEVER SHIPPED out by the company. Yet Goldman Sachs continues to let me file a claim, then in three months they charge me 960. again. This has gone on for at least five or seven times now. I am tired of it. I am asking Goldman Sachs to do the billing adjustment of a Negative $960.00. They actually should pay fro all the time and anxiety they have created also.Business Response

I am filing this complaint against Marcus by Goldman Sachs regarding the handling of my account access. I recently attempted to open a new savings account and was informed by the system that I already had an existing account. The issue is that I cannot recall whether I registered with a personal email or a business email/phone number. Despite this being a simple authentication matter, every representative I spoke with was unable to help me verify or regain access.
Instead of providing a professional solution, multiple representatives attempted to push me into filing fraud reports with the FTC, as if my legitimate account was somehow fraudulent. This is unacceptable. As a customer, I expected competent assistance in recovering my access, yet the staff demonstrated a lack of basic problem-solving skills, training, or willingness to escalate to higher-level support.
The level of unprofessionalism and incompetence I experienced is alarming, especially given Goldman Sachs’ reputation. I repeatedly explained that I am ****** ****** ******* owner of *************** ***, and simply needed my account located and authenticated through reasonable means. Instead, the employees made the situation more complicated and wasted my time.
My question to corporate is clear: Why are your employees unable to use proper authentication tools or escalate such cases appropriately, and why is the default response to treat valid customers as fraud risks? This failure creates unnecessary stress, denies me access to my own funds, and reflects poorly on Marcus by Goldman Sachs’ customer service standards.
I demand that corporate intervene directly, properly authenticate me, and restore access to my account without further delay. I also request corrective action in employee training to prevent other customers from facing this same unprofessional treatment.

I am filing a complaint against Marcus by Goldman Sachs due to an extremely poor banking experience. My savings account, [Your Account Number], has been subjected to delayed communication, disrespectful customer service, and unauthorized financial actions.The issues began when I initially linked the wrong external account, an error I corrected the same day. Marcus's mail and email notifications about this issue arrived over a week later, long after the problem was resolved, making their messages confusing and ********** attempts to file a complaint by phone were met with outright disrespect. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, the representative yelled at me and spoke over me, preventing me from explaining my concerns.A subsequent fraud alert on my account led to a needlessly long verification process. I was required to verify my identity twice, once with the initial operator and again with the fraud department, a process that took over 15 minutes.A week after the initial linking issue was resolved, Marcus inexplicably locked my account. I had to call again to regain access.Finally, in a state of exasperation, I requested to close my account and have a check mailed to me. Marcus confirmed this action, yet the account remained open. On Sept 10th, they withdrew an additional $1,000 without my authorization.This series of events demonstrates a complete failure in Marcus's operational and customer service standards.Desired Resolution:1. Immediate refund of the $1,000 incorrectly removed from my account.2. A formal apology for the unprofessional treatment.3. Confirmation in writing that my account is permanently closed with the final balance sent via check.Business Response

I stayed at a hotel that put a hold on incidentals of $150. When I left the hotel on Sunday they removed the hold. Mosthotel holds last two days so when I contacted Goldman Sachs who holds my Apple credit card they told me to please wait three days because it appears that the hold was for three days. Three days came and went. I contacted the hotel and was told that they removed the hold the previous Sunday and that the hold was there because the bank wasn’t releasingit. So I contacted the bank and they told me that the hotel is holding it. I asked for the call to be escalated only get a manager to then tell me oh the hold can go from 5 to 7 days. I asked to speak to somebody else because I wanted to hold removed because they were giving me misinformation and now I’m sitting at a the hold is still there with no explanation whatsoever. I want this company held responsible for acting in bad faith and I requested to receive information on how to contact the and they hung up on me. No company I don’t care who they are has a right to treat customers this way. I want them held accountable. I am still waiting for that hold on that $150 to be removed.Business Response

My name is ******* ****** *****, and I am submitting this written statement regarding a dispute over funds in my Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings account.
I opened a Marcus savings account online (account number: ************). My spouse transferred a total of $10,010 to my account from his Chase checking account ending in ****. The transfer was completed in three transactions, and the funds successfully appeared in my Marcus savings account.
Following this, I requested a transfer of $10,005 from my Marcus account to my own Webull account. Shortly after this request, my Marcus account was locked, and on August 14th, it was closed by Marcus.
Since then, I have made multiple attempts to contact Marcus customer service by phone, but I have not received any resolution. I also have not received a check for the remaining funds after the account closure, and the funds have not been returned to the original sending account.
I am requesting that this matter be resolved promptly and that my funds be returned without further delay.

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 10, 2025. The Bank appreciates the
opportunity to address the concerns raised by ******* ****** ***** (the “Customer”) related to their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
On July 28, 2025, and July 29, 2025, the
Bank received multiple incoming transfers from an external account to the
Customer’s OSA. Separately, on July 31, 2025, the Bank received a withdrawal request
from the Customer’s OSA to an external account. During the transfer processing
review, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the transaction and declined
the transfer. Consequently, the Bank restricted the OSA.
On August 1, 2025, the Customer contacted
the Bank regarding their account access, but the security concerns remained. Due
to the ongoing security concerns affiliated with the Customer’s account, on
August 12, 2025, the Bank closed the Customer’s OSA.
On September 8, 2025, the Customer contacted
the Bank regarding the closure of their account and a Bank specialist opened an
investigation into the Customer’s concerns. After further review, the Bank
determined that the closure of the OSA had been erroneous. Subsequently, the
Bank re-opened the OSA and credited the account with the funds and appropriate
interest.
On September 16, 2025, the Customer initiated
an outgoing transfer from their OSA to an external account. Currently the Bank
is in the process of completing the Customer’s request.
Based on the above
details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.
