As holiday season approaches, it is a good idea to identify these red flags that could cause your accounts to be temporarily shut down by your bank. These include frequent or back-to-back logins across multiple financial services, which can resemble account takeover activity. If you move between cities or countries rapidly, the bank may flag your account as suspicious. Using a different device or SIM card from a new location or location can trigger a review, and using a virtual private network to log into accounts while on public Wi-Fi could also cause a temporary ban. However, financial service providers may interpret this differently.
