The story of the Belarusian woman prompted Web users to interesting conclusions.

A Belarusian woman told Threads that she faced blocking of accounts and bank cards in Priorbank after a money transfer from abroad. According to her, the reason was "suspicious activity", and to unblock the bank demanded to explain the origin of the funds, describe personal relations with the sender and provide documents confirming his income.

The author of the publication admitted that she did not expect to find herself in a situation when a bank can actually deprive a client of access to his own funds without the ability to promptly solve the problem. She noted that she cannot even close her accounts yet, as they remain frozen.

According to the woman, it is not the check itself that is particularly hard to perceive, but the need to report in detail about personal life and the feeling of complete helplessness before the banking system.

In comments, other users said that they had faced similar situations.

One of the users said that her transfer to her sister was also blocked as potentially dangerous. After that, the bank restricted access not only to the transfer, but also to all accounts and the mobile application.

The problem was complicated by the fact that at that moment she was abroad and could not receive the bank's call to the main phone number. The situation was solved only after calling the manager from a local number and undergoing an additional check.

She said that unblocking required answering numerous questions, while the situation itself showed how risky it is to stay abroad without access to funds.

Some users have made a practical conclusion: when traveling abroad, one should have cash and cards of several banks to avoid a critical situation in case of sudden account blocking. Many Belarusians call on everyone to switch to cash.
