What does it mean when funds are blocked?

Blocked funds refer to funds or assets subject to government restrictions or limitations on their transferability or use. This often occurs in international trade or investment when a government imposes regulations, sanctions, or restrictions on certain transactions, assets, or entities.

What happens when funds are blocked?

Blocked accounts limit the use of funds due to reasons like bank policies, legal decisions, or external regulations. They can be temporary or permanent, and when fully restricted, they become frozen.

What does hold blocked funds mean?

Hold or blocked funds are amounts youve already spent using your card for shopping or bills, but which havent cleared yet from your statement. These funds are temporarily held until the merchant finalises the transaction, and your available balance is updated daily as these holds are settled or removed.

Can OFAC release blocked funds?

An institution may notify its customer that it has blocked funds in accordance with OFACs instructions. The customer has the right to apply for the unblocking and release of the funds. To apply online to have the funds released, please go to our online application page.
