🛡 9 Iron Rules to Prevent Freezing Cards
1. ✅ Choose the Right Platform
Only use licensed, major exchanges (e.g., Binance, OKX’s “Blue Shield Merchants”)
Prefer T+1/T+2 settlement merchants — slower, but safer
Avoid:
Small exchanges
Private OTC groups
(High chance of handling dirty money)
2. 🔍 Vet the Merchant
Review merchant history and user feedback
Stay away from “instant transaction” merchants — often used for money laundering
3. 💳 Bank Card Strategy
Use a dedicated crypto card (not your salary or mortgage card)
Prefer local or rural/urban commercial banks — often have looser risk controls
4. 📊 Keep Smart Transaction Habits
Max: 3 transactions/day, 5 transactions/month
Safer to do larger, less frequent transactions
(Small, frequent ones trigger alerts)
5. ⏳ Post-Transaction Rules
Do not transfer out immediately!
Let the funds sit in your account for 24 hours
Prefer:
ATM withdrawals
Retail spending
(Use bank transfers sparingly)
6. ⏰ Time It Right
Only trade during working hours:
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, weekdays
Avoid midnight and holiday transactions
