Why This Happens
Stripe's automated risk engine continuously monitors processing patterns. When your account shows risk indicators — new account with high volume, international transactions from unexpected regions, or business model changes — Stripe places your account under review and pauses payouts. This is a precautionary hold, not a permanent decision.
Example Notification
"We've placed your account under review and paused payouts while we verify your business information. Please provide additional details about your business model and recent transactions."
