Apple Pay permanently locked
Is there anyway I can get it unlocked if it’s permanently locked?
So I’ve been told my Apple Pay is locked permanently and nobody will explain why.

Permanently locking your Apple Cash account is permanent. Green Dot Bank, issuer and servicer of Apple Cash accounts is required to by law to take action when certain suspicious activities take place. They are not required by law to disclose their suspicions or your activities that triggered the permanent closure.
>>If your Apple Cash account is locked
Your account may be locked if there's suspected fraud on the account, or if additional security checks need to be completed. If your account is locked, you can't use Apple Cash to make purchases, send or receive money, add money to your account, or transfer money to your bank.<<

I just Had mine locked yesterday for $720. And the same response from Apple. This is not ok. With all of the people I seen Here with the same issue and recently that’s a lot of money they are holding. Something needs to be done about this. Class action?
What about them not releasing your remaining funds on the account without any fraudulent activity being done
What appears suspicious to the bank, may not appear suspicious to you at all. Banks are required to Know Your Customers by federal laws.
>>Why is KYC important in banking?
KYC is a legal requirement for financial institutions and financial services companies to establish a customer’s identity and identify risk factors. KYC procedures help prevent identity theft, money laundering, financial fraud, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. Failure to meet KYC requirements can result in steep fines and penalties.
AML regulations were introduced in 1970 to fight money laundering. Following the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. passed stricter KYC requirements as part of the Patriot Act. While these changes were in the works for several years, the terrorist attacks provided the political momentum needed to enact them.
Title III of the Patriot Act requires financial institutions to meet two core KYC components: the Customer Identification Program (CIP) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD). Current KYC procedures embrace a risk-based approach to counteract identity theft, money laundering, and financial fraud:

Federal law and regulations actually prohibit the bank from telling you the reason(s) for locking an account.
The same thing happened to me! I disputed a transaction because I was scammed. They said once the ban is placed it’s permanent, please let me know if u find a way around it.
Wow that was a very rude and nasty response for someone that you don’t even know
Sometimes the cold hard facts are not what you want to hear. It’s certainly possible to show more empathy, but how exactly does that change the facts of the situation? When you boil things down, it’s extremely difficult to protect people from themselves.
I’m 67 years old and have spent a number of years in retail management, where we could show more empathy and help people by showing “random acts of kindness” or “surprise and delight.” Similar terms for basically the same type of service that may benefit the parties involved (customer, company and employee). But exactly how does one sugar coat the harsh reality of having an account closed? What words do we choose to educate, explain and at the same time show hope when there isn’t any? This is your opportunity to explain this to someone that has been dealing with very similar situations for 20+ years?
Apple Support Community is not Apple Support. We’re a community of Apple users, fans and enthusiasts. A few community members volunteer our time to try to educate and assist fellow Apple users. The volunteerism is open to anyone, so your passion and commitment is certainly welcome in the community. However, there is no way to practice concepts like “surprise and delight” or “random acts of kindness.” The cold, hard truth is all we have to offer. We’ve seen various posts that have the same message here many times and know the inevitable outcome.
So, yes, my words are sometimes harsh. Some people may even interpret them to be rude or nasty, as you have noted. If I’ve offended you, or anyone else in this thread, I sincerely apologize.

You need to enable >Require Attention for Face ID<.
>>Face ID matches against depth information, which isn’t found in print or 2D digital photographs. It's designed to protect against spoofing by masks or other techniques through the use of sophisticated anti-spoofing neural networks. Face ID is even attention-aware, and Face ID with a mask will always confirm attention. Face ID recognizes if your eyes are open and your attention is directed towards the device. This makes it more difficult for someone to unlock your device without your knowledge (such as when you are sleeping).<<

If you’re robbed, why wouldn’t the robbers use the gun and force you to unlock the iPhone. Knocking you out makes no sense.
If your Apple Cash account is locked
Your account may be locked if there's suspected fraud on the account, or if additional security checks need to be completed. If your account is locked, you can't use Apple Cash to make purchases, send or receive money, add money to your account, or transfer money to your bank.
If your account is locked and there are no instructions provided, contact Apple Support.
Have you contacted an Apple Cash Specialist at Green Dot Bank yet? If not, their contact information is below.
Accounts are locked when your spending, transferring and depositing practices match the same patterns as money launderers, drug dealers etc. I’m not accusing you, just saying federal banking regulations are getting stricter and all banks are being forced to clamp down.
