Hey Roslinpl,
I wanted to check how's your work on the embassy going and stumbled across this thread. I'll PM you for details, there might be a way to help. I talked to my cousin, she used to work at mBank for a long time, she still has friends there, it might be possible to sort things out a bit. It all depends on the number of cards to unblock, we'll either go to a "friendly" branch:) if the number is not that high, or try to force the matter from the inside, with the help of people working there.
Anyone directly involved please PM me so I have a total number of cards that need unblocking.
Kind regards,
Piotr
Hey!
Great!
If you can figure that out it might be great!
At the moment I know about something like ~10 members with those cards.
Some of them with >5000 euros on those cards ... so this isn't a small problem.
Some with >500 euros - a problem too...
Anyway it will be GREAT if we can help them all.
I'll be glad if we can help anyone, dealing with banks is never an easy task:) First of all we cannot be in a rush with this, we need to gather some info. The key point is the reason for a "relatively" large number of cards being blocked at the same time. I bet that there must be a common pattern on the transaction list. If the bank started acting suddenly, this means that they must have introduced some new rules, perhaps AML rules, rather not KYC rules on anonymous cards:) For now let's leave that aside.
CARD HOLDERS PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
If your card
got blocked, there may be a way to help you, but you need to be patient.
If your card
didn't bet blocked, don't try withdrawing everything at once, instead "lay low", stop using it for a time, until we figure out what's happening.
Some useful info can be found here:

However, there are couple of measures to to be taken so to avoid the card being blocked :
- Do not withdraw all of the amount at once (for example - you receive 150 $ transfer and next day you wthdraw 150 $ in ATM)
- Try to avoid withdrawing full daily limit in one day
- Do not log in to internet banking from IPs from different countries
- Try to avoid withdrawing cash in many different cities/countries within a short period of time MOSTLY IMPORTANT
