why atm card is blocked

An ATM card is typically blocked as a security measure to protect your funds and account security. The most common reason is entering the wrong Personal Identification Number (PIN) multiple times, often after three consecutive incorrect attempts at an ATM or a merchant terminal. Additionally, your card may be blocked by the bank if it is reported as lost or stolen, if it has passed its expiration date, or if the bank detects suspicious or fraudulent activity to prevent any unauthorized transactions.
