My account is restricted
Why an account gets restricted or suspended, and how to get it reviewed.
Last updated June 1, 2026
A restriction limits some actions on your account while we review it. Here's what to do.
Why it happens
- Reported fraud: we freeze outflows when a transaction is reported as fraudulent, while our team investigates.
- Risk or compliance review: unusual activity can trigger a temporary review to protect you and your customers.
- Verification pending or failed: some actions stay limited until your verification clears.
How to get it reviewed
- Open the app, a banner usually explains what's restricted and why.
- Provide anything we ask for, such as updated documents or proof of a transaction.
- Email support@boldswitch.ng from your registered email with your phone number if you need an update.
You'll hear back within 24 working hours for most fraud and review cases.
Tip: Responding quickly with the documents we ask for is the fastest way to lift a restriction.
