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.

You got told wrong or you misunderstood what was being said. Apple is not a bank. Apple does not run Apple Cash, the operation of Apple Cash and the support for Apple Cash is done by Green Dot Bank. This is all contained in the terms and conditions you agreed to when you opened the account.


You don’t have to be a scammer to have your account restricted or locked. All you need to do is engage in risky behaviors or receive or send funds to people that engage in risky or suspicious behavior. Here’s probably the section you violated.


>>(vii) we believe that your use of the Services could expose us, Apple, or other persons involved in providing the Services to increased risk or be placed in a false or derogatory light;<<


In other words, your transactions, either sending or receiving or both, present a risk that Green Dot Bank is comfortable with. There are other sections too, that may apply, and be a part of the issue. You can read the terms and conditions at the link below.
