Question

Anyone know how long it takes to get your checking account unfrozen? Is it really 180 days?

The only information I was able to squeeze out of the script readers was “fraud” investigation.

Let us share some details on why your checking account is on hold and connect you with the appropriate support team to verify the status of your account, ROY.  
 
Many banks aim to resolve the issues within 30 to 90 days and Intuit placed the account on hold to ensure the protection of the interests of all parties involved in the payment process. Below are some of the common reasons for the hold include:
 
  1. Several failed authorization attempts.
  2. Your business type needs to be verified to ensure it complies with Intuit’s Acceptable Use Policy.
  3. Our system has identified transaction patterns that could be risky for you, your customer, or Intuit.
