Withdrawals Disabled on Exchange Account Under Review What to Do
Three states get confused constantly. Withdrawals disabled. Account under review. Account closure. They are not the same thing. Understanding the difference keeps you from panicking - or ignoring a real problem.
Withdrawals disabled is the narrowest state. The exchange still lets you trade, log in, and view balances. You just cannot send crypto or fiat out. This often triggers from a security event: a login from a new device, an IP address in a flagged region, or a large withdrawal attempt that exceeds your usual pattern. Coinbase and Binance both publish support pages confirming these triggers. The fix is usually a time-lock or a security check - email confirmation, re-entering 2FA, or waiting 24 hours.
Account under review is broader. The exchange has paused all activity - trading, deposits, withdrawals - while it examines something about you or your account. This is a temporary protective state. It is not a seizure. The exchange still holds your funds. The review typically finishes within a few days, but some cases stretch weeks. Common triggers: a KYC re-verification flag, a name mismatch on your bank account, or a region check if you logged in from a country the exchange does not serve. Binance's support documentation lists "account under review" as a standard response to compliance alerts. Coinbase uses the same language for flagged identity checks.
Account closure is final. The exchange terminates the relationship. You can withdraw funds during a closure window, but you cannot trade. This happens after repeated policy violations, confirmed fraud, or a legal demand. If your account is merely "under review," closure is not inevitable.
The withdrawal whitelist lockout timer is a related mechanism that users often mistake for a freeze. You add a whitelist address, then must wait - typically 24 to 48 hours - before the address becomes active. During that window, withdrawals to new addresses are impossible. This is not a review. It is a security feature designed to give you time to notice if an attacker added their own address. Do not panic if you see a pending timer. Check whether the lock is tied to a specific address or to all withdrawals.
What should you do? First, identify which state you are in. Log in. Try a small withdrawal. If it fails with a message about "withdrawals disabled," check your email and the exchange's security dashboard. Look for a pending verification request. If trading is also frozen, you are likely under review. Check your support tickets. If the exchange asked for a selfie with your ID or a proof-of-address document, submit it immediately. Delays worsen the problem.
If you cannot log in at all, start account recovery. That is a separate process covered elsewhere on this site.
Do not open multiple support tickets. That slows resolution. Do not transfer funds from a reviewed account to another exchange during the review - you cannot, and attempting to bypass the freeze will make it look suspicious. Do not believe scammers who message you claiming to "expedite" the review. Only the exchange's official support can resolve this.

The three states are distinct. Withdrawals disabled is a lock. Under review is an investigation. Closure is an exit. Know which one you face. Act accordingly.
