    Had mine blocked on Saturday as I made a large purchase on the continent.

    5 minutes on the phone had it sorted. What more do you need?

    Did you adhere to the CJA (criminal justice act) requirements to avoid money laundering? It requires each bank to have verified ID and proof of address for each account holder and if you didn't produce it by a given time your accounts can be restricted

    Correct. I had to be brought into a room in the ulster bank only the girl in the bank who rang them at their request was allowed to ring them giving her info codes etc verifying herself she was then instructed to hand the phone to me ... They again asked me loads of questions ... Yes your right I got 10 out of 10 ... No answer when I asked why did they block card and cause me massive expense and embarrassment .... I told the girl in the bank it was a joke she agreed ... There was no issue ... They blocked it cause bus eireann must be on their watch list .... Crowd of jokers no doubt if my card was stolen they wouldn't be so quick off the mark
