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 March 29, 2024. The Bank
appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by **** ******** (the “Customer”) related
to the Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) referral bonus offered on their Online Savings Account (“OSA”).
The Bank is offering an additional 1.00% APY referral bonus for 3 months to existing OSA customers that
refer new customers. The referral program terms and conditions require new customers to use an
existing customer’s unique referral link to open a new OSA to receive the Marcus Referred Rate when
their OSA is opened.
On January 10, 2024, the Customer opened an OSA. On March 29, 2024, the Customer contacted the
Bank to inquire on the Marcus Referred Rate increase for the applicable 3-month period not reflecting
on their OSA. After further review, the Bank identified that the Customer did not provide the unique
referral link when they opened their OSA.
On April 4, 2024, the Bank contacted the Customer advising that their request to apply the referral
bonus for the applicable 3-month period has been declined.

Marcus by
Goldman Sachs, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”), received the
above referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint
Portal on March 29, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the
issues raised by ****** ****** related to their personal loan (the “Loan”)
serviced by Systems & Services Technologies, Inc. (“SST”).
Please be advised the Bank transferred the
servicing of the Loan to SST effective December 11, 2023.
The
Loan had an original principal balance of $12,000.00. The current, outstanding balance of the loan
is $12,195.60 (principal and interest). As
of April 29,2019, the Customer’s loan was 120 days or more past due. The
Customer’s loan is therefore in a charge-off status which means that the
outstanding loan balance is now due and payable, and that we will continue our
collection efforts on this loan, to the extent allowed by law.
SST will send a written response to this
complaint directly to the Customer.
Please contact SST at ###-###-#### if there

I used the Marcus to pay my March rent, and after days that rent was disputed by Marcus which costs me $68 fee. Since then, I called Marcus and try to transfer $4,500 to my other checking account 4 times, by calling the customer services, on March 19, March 25, March 26, March 27. Every time, the transaction was disputed with no notification. Every time I call, they come up with new reasons why my transaction was disputed. It was either "we can't confirm your original checking account was closed" or "we can't verify your new checking account exist". And every "specialist" have setup phone calls with external checking account's bank to confirm, and they still ask me the same question over and over, and DISPUTE my transaction right after. They are purposely preventing me from using my own money. I WANT TO FREELY USE MY OWN MONEY WITH NO MORE EXECUSES.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
March 28, 2024. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns
raised by ****** *** (the "Customer”) related to their Online Savings
Account (“OSA”).
On
March 19, 2024 and March 23, 2024, the Customer initiated separate outgoing transfer
requests from their OSA to a linked account. During the transfer processing
reviews, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the transfer as the funds
needed to be returned to the original funding account. The Bank then attempted
unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to address the security concerns. Subsequently,
the Bank declined the transfers and restricted the OSA.
On March 26, 2024, the Customer
contacted the Bank regarding their account access. A Bank specialist advised
the Customer that the funds needed to be returned to the original funding
account, and subsequently conducted a three-way call with the Customer and the
external institution confirming that the original funding account was closed. Subsequently,
the Bank specialist restored the Customer’s online banking access. Unfortunately,
due to inadvertent errors, there has been a delay in processing the Customer’s
request.
On
April 3, 2024, the Bank attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to
assist with submitting another outgoing transfer from their OSA. The Bank
requests the Customer contact the Bank at ************** (###-###-####),
Monday to Friday, 8 am - 10 pm, or Saturday to Sunday, 9 am - 7 pm ET for further
assistance.

I am rejecting this response because: I only received one phone call from the bank on March 29th, I was in a meeting and missed call. Later I called back the number and asked for the supervisor, I was told the supervisors who deal with the complaints are from a different department and they can't help me to connect with them. And I asked if they can contact me through email, because I didn't setup a voice mail on my number. They refused, they said the only way for them to contact me is by phone. Since then, I've been waiting for their call and they never called me back.

I opened 5 CD accounts with Marcus last fall. This week and last week, two of them matured. I set the closure method to return the money back to the original bank account, but waited over a week and no transaction happened. Yesterday and today, I made phone calls to their customer service, but they couldn't provide me with a satisfactory explanation for the delay in returning my money after the CD matured, citing vague "security reasons." All I received was a request to wait. Now, I find myself in a frustrating situation where I'm unable to access my funds (which should automatically go back to my bank account as per the account setting), and I'm left in the dark about when I can expect them to be returned or even receive an update.Business Response

The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***** **** (the Customer) related to the closure of their Certificate of Deposits (CD).
On September 18, 2023 and October 31, 2023, the Customer provided the Bank with Early Instructions for two of their CDs to close at maturity and transfer the funds to a linked account. On November 3, 2023, the Bank identified security concerns regarding the Customers identity and restricted their online banking access. On January 17, 2024 and January 18, 2024, the Bank attempted unsuccessfully to contact the Customer to resolve the security concerns. Unfortunately, this restriction impacted the Banks ability to process the Customers request to close the two CDs at maturity.
On March 25, 2024, the Customer contacted the Bank inquiring on the closure of their CDs; however, Bank was unsuccessful in authenticating the Customer and the security concerns remained. As an alternative verification method, the Bank mailed an Affidavit of Identity ***** to the Customers address on file to resolve the security concerns on April 3, 2024. The Bank is currently waiting to receive the completed documentation from the Customer.

Last Friday, on 3/22/22, I opened an online saving account at ******************** using a referral link, and everything went smoothly and quickly, with the money being transferred from my BOA account to the ******************** account promptly. However, to my surprise, when I tried to log in on Monday, 3/25/24, it said my account was locked. I assumed it was a simple identity verification matter, so I called customer service. They informed me that they couldn't send a one-time passcode to my phone because it wasn't linked to my name. I use a ******** prepaid plan, and my phone is registered with my real name. Other banks haven't had any issues with this number. Moreover, because I don't have a driver's license yet , they couldn't verify my identity, and thus would not explain why my account was locked. Even when I answered all verification questions correctly, they insisted they couldn't verify me without my phone number, and they couldn't use my email for verification either. They didn't provide any other ways to verify myself.One representative mentioned that someone would contact me within 1-3 business days, but when I requested their supervisor to explain further, the supervisor said I should follow up after 7 business days, or alternatively, I could force close the account.I argued that they didn't mention during registration that my phone number wasn't working or that not having a driver's license would be an issue. If I was told about these, I wouldn't have opened an account in the first place. Now, using these reasons to indefinitely block my access to my funds is unacceptable and unreasonable. Therefore, I demand the forced closure of my account. However, since it hasn't been a full week since I transferred the money in, and the funds are not yet "available", they said I should call again next Monday to request the closure to have my money returned to my original bank account.Business Response
