# Account suspension

A temporary restriction on trading or payouts while a firm reviews an account. It is not the same as a breach: the account still exists, but progression and withdrawals are paused pending the outcome.

GFN’s figure

Where GFN identifies prohibited trading, it may review the account, restrict trading, reject evaluation progression, reject payouts or terminate the affected accounts under the Terms & Conditions.

- **Common triggers**: Prohibited trading, coordinated activity, failed verification
- **Effect on payouts**: Pending payouts can be held or rejected
- **Evidence that helps**: Trade IDs, timestamps, screenshots, account number

In detail

## Account suspension, explained

Suspensions usually follow a pattern rather than a single trade - identical activity across many accounts, an unresolved identity check, or trading that looks like it targets the environment rather than the market.

The fastest resolution is documentary. Screenshots, trade IDs, timestamps and a clear description of what happened settle most reviews far quicker than an argument about whether the rule was fair.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Prohibited trading](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/prohibited-trading) - Activity a firm bans because it targets the trading environment rather than the market. It covers exploiting errors and pricing delays, coordinated trading between accounts, and third-party account management.
- [Breach](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/breach) - Any violation of an account's published rules. Breaches are graded: a soft one triggers corrective action, a hard one fails the account. The word is used for both, which is why the grade matters more than the term.
- [KYC](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/kyc) - The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
- [Payout denial](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/payout-denial) - A refused payout request. The common causes are a breach recorded before the payout was approved, incomplete identity verification, a mismatch in the receiving account, or trading that broke a conduct rule.
- [Account sharing](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-sharing) - Letting someone else trade your account, or trading an account belonging to someone else. It defeats the purpose of an assessment of an individual, and it is prohibited everywhere in the industry without exception.
