Believe it or not, this has happened to me as well but with Chase. They froze both my savings and checking accounts for an entire month (which happened to be December, making Christmas very hard). My wife and I spent weeks trying to get answers. All the initial people I would talk to were kind and helpful until they saw something that made them freeze and refuse to tell me anything. The most I could get out of them was that my account was "under investigation."
I called lawyers and every one treated me with the same suspicion you have... Luckily I was able to get by for the month on credit before they finally sent a letter saying I had access to my money again WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION.
I have still not found out why they did this, but they can hold your money hostage for absolutely no reason at all. Needless to say I have been warning people against banking with Chase since.
There have been reports of this happening in UK. Iirc the accounts that were publicised were frozen due to “suspicious activity” or “potential money laundering”. It’s appalling and this sort of BS is why I’ve always been suspicious of banks and the move for basically force us all to move to electronic banking as it is way too easy for them to close it all off with one mouse click.
Simiilar to the randomness of the No Fly list.
