Basically i added stripe to my business and processed £1.2k daily over 3 days before it got closed. It was closed due to highrisk. 0 chargebacks or anything. There holding my money for 120 days and wondering if anyone has had this before and has a way to get unbanned or a guy on the inside or anything to help me in this situation. Im still taking payments through other methods but conversion is so low compared to stripe haha. Any tips and tricks or even just conversation on the topic like previous bans you have had would be nice to hear so i can learn for the future. I know processing that much that quickly on a stripe account was stupid but i will learn.
 
i haven't experience this but what i do experience is the sudden high payment volume on a brand-new account
 
Stripes' advanced anti-fraud system might have mistaken your high volume transactions for a fraud making them clamp down on your funds. It's a measure they use to safeguard your finances from leaking out. Unfortunately, there are no backdoors 'yet', you will have to wait it out. For next time, start small and grow steadily.

Yes its SO annoying, I requested review added all my business details. In 3 hours they dennied it. I opened a complaint against there system saying im going to report them for foul business practice and all this bullshit and now i have a true complaint open as i DO ACTUALLY have suppliers to pay... I understand that a new stripe account doing over £1k daily instantly is odd but i run a legit business. I would rather they hold a rolling reserve of like 70% and allow me to carry on accepting payments but i guess they dont care about the small fish like us ahaha

Do you ever get blocked with high volume on new accounts? Is the appeal process ever in your favour id love to hear more
 
I'm successfully restored my account. I'm called to them and speak with agent

I left a formal complaint and still waiting on a response. Do you think calling them is the best play? How did you get a hold of a number to speak to someone?

I'm called after when stripe declined my complaint
 
Hello, if your business is even remotely serious, you should avoid any PSP that is easy to get into (meaning you can create an account through a self-service process and start accepting payments immediately). The only self serve PSP I’ve never had any issues with, even with my Day 1 volumes (€1,600/day from Day 1), was Mollie, you can check if you want.

The easier it is to get in, the easier it is to get kicked out (since the sheer volume of users has to be managed). So, Stripe, the most popular payment processor in the world, manages its merchants through algorithms, which, in your case, got you blocked because you were doing “too much revenue in their eyes” (a pretty legitimate reason for you to crash out, I’d understand).

Therefore, prioritize PSPs that are suited to your type of business (high risk, low risk, medium risk) and where you have to go through manual approval before getting onboarded. That way, there’s no misunderstanding: the people running the company know what you do, what you sell, and how you sell it, and they choose whether or not to approve you. Not afterward, by blocking you as soon as you start generating significant revenue (see Stripe).

The same principle applies to banks. Never keep all your funds in a neobank.

I know the guys at bonzai.pro can be contacted to ask about payment solutions. Their founder is very aware of this issue of payment processors blocking businesses in the industry, and they offer solutions, provided that you go through a manual approval process.

Now, regarding your current situation, unfortunately, prepare yourself for the possibility that your funds will remain frozen until the end of that period. Stripe, Square, and others have similar practices.

Stay strong.
 
Sudden high payments caused this issue. IF you create a new stripe account in next times, just grow slowly.
