I called Marcus to initiate a wire transfer. Apparently they have a policy that is not written for public viewing regarding "escrow wires". The money has to have existed in my account 6 months or longer. The only reason I opened the account was to save for future large purchases because of the interest rate they lured me in with. I find out the week of closing on my house that they cannot do transfers because of this policy that isn't written anywhere for me to see. Instead, they have risked my closing date (less than 5 days away) and late fees if they cannot clear this wire to my personal account in time for me to wire it again to the escrow account.Business Response

**********************, a brand of Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank), received the above referenced complaint via the Better Business Bureau Complaint Portal on October 9, 2023. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ********************* (the Customer) related to a transfer from their ************** Account (OSA).
On October 9, 2023, the Customer contacted the Bank to request an escrow wire transfer from their OSA to a third party. Unfortunately, the Bank could not honor a request to wire funds to a third-party, as the Bank requires transfers to be completed with an external account owned by the Customer, in accordance with the Banks Deposit Account Agreement (DAA). The Customer then requested an outgoing wire transfer to a linked account, which the Bank successfully processed the following day.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests this complaint to be closed.Initial Complaint

I rented a car and the amount for 746.76 was charged to my apple credit card. I notice that my card had a balance of 1385 due when I called they told me that my balance was only 642. That there was a computer error for another charge of 746.76 to my account that would be corrected in 10 business days. It has been 15 business days and the matter has still not been corrected. When I call now they tell me they don't know when this error will be corrected. Mean while I have been making payments that haven't posted to my account, I can't use my credit card. It's also being reported to the credit bureau that I'm over my limit and I'm not.Business Response

Goldman
Sachs Bank USA (the “Bank”) received the above-referenced complaint related to
the Apple Card via the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) Complaint Portal on
October 8, 2023. The Bank appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns
raised by ******* *** (the “Customer”) related to a transaction in the amount
of $746.76.
The Bank
conducted an investigation and confirmed an inadvertent system error occurred.
The account had a pending transaction in the amount of $746.76 in the
Customer’s available credit that did not release within the expected timeframe.
The Bank manually released the pending transaction on October 13, 2023, and the
Customer’s available credit reflects the correct amount. The Bank contacted the
Customer on October 13, 2023, to provide this information. The Bank does not
report pending transactions to the credit reporting agencies and confirmed the
account was reported correctly in the most recent furnishing with a balance of
$641.00. The Bank regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.
Payments
are applied to the outstanding balance on the business day the payment is processed,
and interest does not accrue for the payment amount. The amount of time it
takes for payments made from a bank account to reflect in the available credit
can vary based on the payment amount and account history. The Customer should
continue making payments on time, and over time, faster updates should be
experienced. The Apple Card Customer Agreement states after receiving a
payment, the Bank can immediately increase the available credit, or delay
increasing the available credit on the account for a period of time. The
Customer can check the status of the available credit by going to the Apple
Wallet, online at card.apple.com, or by contacting the Bank. The Customer’s
payment in the amount of $65.00 made on September 26, 2023, reflected in the
Customer’s available credit on October 5, 2023.
Based on
the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.Initial Complaint

I opened a savings account with Marcus GS about 7 months ago. Around the beginning of September I asked to withdraw my 10k plus interest to put in another account. They said that the account I wanted to deposit the money in wasn't verified so they had to make some small deposits, I said I need the money sooner. Oh I forgot to say that I had this account on lock (5/10/23)because of a unrelated fraud case not involving Marcus GS. Anyway after missing two calls from them (I was in meetings) they didn't transfer the funds and instead just made micro depoits of .25 cents and .22 cents, then the 10K never came, I called and then they said I had to call again to do the transfer. So when I called on 9/29/23 someone had hacked my account and over half of it was gone. Employee said it just had happened an hour and 20 min before and this would be resolved soon and could be stopped. I called today (10/3/23) and now they won't even give me what's left in the account (4,600).
The reason I am complaining is because the theif was able to transfer funds without verifiying the Wells Fargo account that the money went to even though I had locked the account! So theives can get my money but nothing I do gives me access to my money. I have called them so many times before the money was stolen. They say it will take 30-45 days for the investigation, but I've been trying to access my funds for almost a month. The friend that referred me to this account had a hard time accessing their funds too when he wanted to buy a house. They must have some bad policies that helps them hang on to other peoples money.
I had to verify my account but theif did not and now they won't give me any of the money while they investigate-absurbBusiness Response

Marcus has failed on the following fronts:
1. My money was stolen ($20,000) from a Marcus savings account that had 0 protection by the company. They have yet to do anything to help me retrieve these funds.
2. The interest I lost on the stolen $20,000 at 5.40% interest rate, this has NOT been reimbursed to me in any form or fashion
3. My compromised account was closed and a new one opened mid month of September. Marcus failed to pay me the interest my account accrued from September 1-13th for over $235,000. Days have gone by and that interest has not been paid. They are in full breach of their contract.Business Response

On 9/26/23 to unlock my credit card and an account I contacted customer service at ******************** regarding my GM rewards card. In the process I learned that Marcus GM rewards credit card team started employing an outdated 3rd party service to confirm that the registered numbers are signed up in the name of the owners, however that system is widely inaccurate and shows my phone number ********** as inactive. On the recorded line I specifically put on the record that I AM CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH ********** NUMBER and I FULLY VERIFIED MY IDENTITY WITH MY NAME ADDRESS, SOCIAL SECUTIRY NUMBER AND ALL INFORMATION FROM MY CREDIT REPORT. However, because the new 3rd party system that Marcus GM employs, to verify my identify Marcus needed to place an outbound call to 267 number which I was calling from. But because the 3rd party system shows my 267 as inactive (IRONICALLY I WAS CALLING FROM IT AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN INACTIVE) the outbound call cannot be placed and my card and my account cannot be unlocked. Instead they will be sending me the affidavit of identity which I need to fill out and go to a notary and get it notiarized and request a day off to complete that and mail it back. OUTRAGEOUS! ALL BECAUSE THE OUTDATED 3rd PARTY SYSTEM WITH MARCUS SHOWS MY PHONE NUMBER INACTIVE. WHICH IS FULLY ACTIVE BECAUSE I WAS CALLING FROM IT. AND IT WAS THE REGISTERED PHONE NUMBER ON FILE. Even customer service rep that I spoke to last, said this is absolutely ridiculous that Marcus has to send affidavits in physical mail because of the 3rd party system to verify the customer to allow him continue using his card.I am requesting that a senior supervisor look into this ridiculous situation and **** my ********** number as active because how would that customer be able to call the customer service line from the 267 number if it was inactive? I would be satisfied with reactivating my registered number in the system and reactivating my account and an apology for inconvenience.Business Response

Complaint: 20660202
I am rejecting this response because:with all due respects, this representative is ignoring the obvious fact that the 3rd party verification system isnt not providing accurate information to the bank. Specifically, the third party phone number verification states that the number I registered my account with isnt registered in my name. Note that I no terms service require you to sign up for a post paid account, and prepaid cellphones would not even have any name attached to them because they are prepaid cellphones. However, in my case, the phone number is registered in my name and I offered a 3way call with AT&T to confirm that ********** number is registered in my name, however the company actively ignored accurate representations and instead relied on inaccurate information provided by a 3rd party data broker that doesnt have my name associated with my registered number.
Does that make sense to any reasonable person? My name is registered to my phone number and ATT carrier verifies that, yet the Goldman Sacks ignores this fact like it doesnt even exist and instead relies on inaccurate information which in fact violates their own terms of service as they are at this point not acting in good faith and subject the company to further liability for relying on inaccurate data from a 3rd party broker and rejecting direct verification from the phone carrier that my phone number is registered in my name.
Not to mention that requiring customers to only use post paid accounts rather than prepaid the company would be discriminating based on an economic or social group of customers by only extending services to those who chose more expensive post paid phone accounts, because again, prepaid accounts and prepaid phone numbers are not linked to any name making 3rd party verification system entirely inaccurate and useless in requiring that to place an outbound call to the customer the registered number must also be registered in their name.
furthermore the company misstated the facts of the case and contradicts the facts already in the record. More specifically, upon a review of phone calls the customer made with the company he was told the reason why the company needed to place an outbound call to him and was unable to was because I tried to add a credit card to apply pay on a new phone and the company needed to place an outbound call to my number, but yet because of the faulty 3rd party data broker the company could not place that outbound call because that broker showed that my ******************************** my name, where in fact it was and ATT is willing to testify and be available as a witness for any subsequent arbitration proceedings.
DOES THE COMPANY ADMIT THE **** THAT 3rd party data broken supplied the company with inaccurate information about my phone numbers ownership in light of provided explanations and testimony if needed from the carrier themselves stating it it my number with my name on it ? Or the company is actually ignoring this fact and continuing to violate their own terms of service by continuing to rely on an inaccurate information provided by the broker to the company regarding the name on my cellphone account ?

Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
