However, the bank must pay out the credit balance, otherwise this is not legal.

Well not quite the money laundering law and generally the laws of the EU say here:


The bank is obliged to check the origin of the funds. As long as the legal origin of the funds has not been clarified, the bank can refuse to pay out the money. As soon as the necessary information and documents are available and the origin is clarified, the bank must carry out the payout.

This means that they can simply push the card to the TE and as long as he cannot prove where the money came from legally, they can also leave the money lying around

I think it's already too late for the obligation to provide proof. You can do this beforehand (but I would only do it for crypto), but as soon as an account has been frozen, you can't do much with proof. I mean, you can see how communicative they are towards the customer. Not at all. The customer can't get into the app and there's no reply to emails. How can you provide proof if the bank no longer wants to communicate with the customer and blocks all attempts at communication?

The banks report to the FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit) and the report is checked there. As long as they have not finished their investigation, the bank will - presumably - continue not to pay out the credit. To be honest, I don't know whether you have to take action yourself. They are investigating and may not need any proof, unless it is money that comes from crypto transactions (where you would really need proof). But that's not the case here, there are clear IBANs that can also be assigned.

I have read that suspicions are more frequent because the laws have been tightened (banks can receive very high penalties/sanctions for non-compliance).


According to the pages I have searched, however, it is possible to speed up the procedure. With the help of an application for a temporary injunction (costs €80 or so), the bank can be persuaded to unblock the account. Due to the urgency of the matter, it is therefore advisable to seek legal assistance in any case. (Source: Bank account blocked: Another temporary injunction obtained against Commerzbank (anwalt.de))

Basically you are right, I have already pointed out in the first part of my answer how they are probably waiting for an answer from the authorities, or rather, a non-legal origin is almost certainly already clearly proven here, but with the second answer I only wanted to address the circumstance that was written by needle34, namely

because unfortunately this is too short-sighted because it is true that the banks are not allowed to withhold money without legal examination, but they can use small aids to pass the ball to you and wait and see what you do

I don't think that happens with Revolut. But I wouldn't have thought that of N26 either.....

Simply stop playing at casinos that are not licensed in GER. My son had the same problem. These casinos no longer even have to pay out your win if you are registered in Germany.

Nevertheless, no casino that wants to keep customers in the future would behave like this! On the contrary, the unlicensed casinos are usually much more customer-friendly, apart from all the rules

Well, N26 has a German IBAN. Revolut Lithuania. N26 probably needs to pay more attention to that.


I once had C24 who even did not execute money to Mifinity e-Wallet.
