⚠️ Bakit nag-block ang BSP?

Ang BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) ay mandated na implement ng Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). Kapag ang bank detected ang unusual patterns sa account mo — halimbawa frequent large transfers sa crypto exchanges, multiple small deposits na sum-sum sa large amounts, o cross-border fund flows — ay pwede nila temporarily freeze ang account. Ang freezing period ay typically 7-30 days. Sa extreme cases, pwede ang BSP na issue ng formal order para sa extended blocking.

Key insight: Ang direct bank transfer sa/from crypto exchanges ay ang highest risk channel. GCash/Maya P2P ay significantly safer dahil ang transaction ay appearing sa e-wallet flow, hindi sa bank anti-AMLA monitoring.
