What should I do if my Wise account is closed due to suspected fraudulent activity while trying to send money to my wife?

PayPal business held $18,000 of my money that I was wiring from one account with my name on it to another account with my name on it.
They don't have to give you a reason either.
180 days my money was on hold . 181 they gave me my money back.
I'm highly against third parties after dealing with that 😂

I've been blocked by wise , western union and MoneyGram
Third party senders don't have to give you a reason why the account is closed..
If you try and send money too frequently they'll close it. And the limits that they say they have are total b*******..
You start going over a few thousand dollars a month they'll ask for receipts, contracts and bank statements to show the money is going..
Bank wires take about 2 days but it's the most safe method of doing it. And it's the most reliable.
Bank of America Platinum check card , or it may be with any of their accounts.. the wiring process is so simple it's the best option

Pay and stay, almost no requirements other than money.
The new bronze Visa is relatively cheap, and offers you more access than the DTV, 5 year's for around $19,000 if you break it down yearly is not bad
