# Why are my payouts suspended or held?

If your payouts have stopped or your account has been suspended, it's usually because something needs your attention before funds can be released. This page explains the most common triggers and how to resolve them.

## Why payouts get held[​](#why-payouts-held "Direct link to Why payouts get held")

MONEI may hold your payouts or suspend your account for one of the following reasons:

* **Updated billing information needed** — your IBAN or billing details need to be corrected or confirmed.
* **Unpaid invoices** — one or more invoices are overdue and must be paid before payouts can continue.
* **Pending verification documents** — KYC documentation (for example [ultimate-beneficiary documents](https://docs.monei.com/onboarding/verification/.md#reason-ubo)) is missing or out of date.
* **Risk review** — unusual or suspicious activity has triggered a manual review.
* **Direct customer complaints** or an **elevated amount of [chargebacks](https://docs.monei.com/fraud-prevention/chargebacks/.md)**.
* **Failure to comply with the terms of service** — for example, selling [restricted products](https://docs.monei.com/onboarding/restricted-and-high-risk-businesses/.md#restricted-businesses).
