1. What is Bank Card Freezing?
Bank card freezing refers to the temporary restriction of some or all functions of a bank card by banks, judicial authorities, or regulatory agencies due to risk control, abnormal transaction monitoring, anti-money laundering investigations, or case investigations.
After freezing, users may experience situations such as inability to transfer funds, receive payments, withdraw cash, make purchases, or restrictions on bank account usage.
During digital asset OTC / C2C transactions, the risk of bank card freezing is relatively high and is generally divided into the following types:
1. Bank Risk Control Freezing
Triggered automatically by the bank’s risk control system when abnormal transaction behavior is detected in the account.
Usually manifested as: temporary transaction restrictions / non-counter limitations / suspension of some account functions.
2. Judicial Temporary Freezing
Temporary freezing of the account by public security or judicial authorities for case investigation purposes. The freezing period is usually: 36 hours to 72 hours, with some cases possibly extended.
3. Judicial Long-term Freezing
If the account is involved in case fund investigations, the court or judicial authorities may implement long-term freezing.
The freezing period may last: six months, one year, or longer, depending on the judicial authority’s handling results.
2. Common Reasons for Bank Card Freezing
1. Reasons for Bank Risk Control Freezing
The following situations are likely to trigger the bank risk control system:
• Transfer remarks containing digital asset-related keywords (e.g., BTC, USDT, ETH, virtual currency, etc.)
• Frequent large transfers late at night
• Multiple frequent payments and receipts within a short time
• Sudden large fund flows after long-term inactivity of the bank card
• Income obviously inconsistent with account identity information
• Rapid inflow and outflow of account funds
• Abnormal fund movements detected by the bank’s AML risk control system
• High-frequency OTC / C2C trading activity
2. Reasons for Judicial Freezing
The following situations may lead to judicial freezing:
• Receipt of funds suspected to be from fraud, gambling, point-running, money laundering, or other illegal sources
• Counterparty accounts involved in case investigations
• Account listed as part of the flow chain of involved funds
• Financial transactions with high-risk accounts
• Receipt of funds from unknown sources
• Involvement in abnormal cross-regional fund transfers
3. Effective Measures to Prevent Bank Card Freezing
(1) Transaction Behavior Norms
1. Strict Real-name Transactions
Please ensure:
• Platform real-name verification name
• Bank card account holder name
• Payer account name
The three should be consistent. Avoid:
• Using others’ bank cards
• Receiving non-real-name payments
• Using third-party accounts for transactions
2. Reject Transfers Not Made by Yourself
If you receive:
• Payments from non-trading counterparties
• Transfers from unknown sources
• Third-party payments
Please immediately:
• Refuse the transaction
• Return the funds via the original route with a note:
“Transfer error” or “Wrong payment” to avoid associating your account with risky funds.
3. Avoid Sensitive Transfer Remarks
Please do not use in transfer remarks: BTC/USDT/ETH/digital currency/virtual currency/coin merchant sensitive words.
Recommendation: keep transfer remarks empty or use ordinary daily remarks.
(2) Fund Management Strategies
1. Separate Account Management
It is recommended that users:
• Separate bank cards for receiving payments and daily expenses
• Prepare dedicated OTC / C2C receiving cards
• Avoid storing large sums on receiving cards for long periods
• Do not use salary cards for digital asset transactions
2. Bank Card Rotation Mechanism
It is recommended to prepare at least 3 or more bank cards for rotation.
This includes:
• Different banks
• Different accounts
• Different receiving cycles
Recommendations:
• Regularly change receiving bank cards
• Pause usage for a period after use before using again
• Avoid long-term high-frequency use of the same bank card
4. Handling Procedures After Bank Card Freezing
