Legal Assistance with Frozen Bank Accounts

At Šulija & Partners, we provide professional legal assistance to individuals and companies whose bank accounts have been frozen or suspended—whether by commercial banks, electronic money institutions (EMIs), or as a result of regulatory or prosecutorial action.

In recent months, we have experienced a significant increase in client inquiries related to frozen accounts—particularly involving fintech platforms such as Revolut, Paysera, and other EMIs operating under Lithuanian jurisdiction. These cases often involve sudden account suspensions, a lack of clear communication, or delays in releasing client funds without proper legal justification.

We regularly assist clients in situations involving:

• Unexplained account freezes by banks or EMIs;
• Regulatory actions based on AML/CFT compliance or sanctions exposure;
• Failure to receive timely or adequate responses from financial institutions;
  
• Overly burdensome or unclear document requests used to justify prolonged freezing;
  
• Freezes related to international transfers, complex ownership structures, or risk profiling.

Our law firm can support you by:

• Reviewing the legal basis of the freeze;
  
• Engaging directly with the financial in<stitution;
  
• Filing formal complaints with regulatory or supervisory authorities (e.g., the Bank of Lithuania);
  
• Preparing legal claims in cases of unjustified account freezing;
  
• Advising on compliance and documentation to help expedite resolution.

We recognize that restrictions on access to bank accounts may affect both personal and business activities. Our team provides timely legal support aimed at clarifying the situation, restoring account functionality where appropriate, and advising on possible legal or regulatory remedies.

If you are currently experiencing issues with a frozen bank account and require legal assistance, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
