Apple account locked error message

apple account locked


i messaged Apple multiple times about my Apple Cash account being locked like 3 months ago and they said they would look into it in the future. Nothing happened.


is there a way to get my account unlocked without contacting an Apple specialist? They’re so useless. Can I get my Apple Cash unlocked if my parent sets up an Apple Cash family for me?

No, Apple is not a bank and plays virtually no part in verification and authentication issues.’ Green Dot Bank is a federally regulated bank. They have to comply with state and federal banking regulations. Apple cannot intercede.


The federal agency responsible for bank oversight in these matters is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. File an online complaint using the link below.


If you have a complaint about a prepaid account, call the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at 1-855-411-2372 or visit cfpb.gov/complaint.

What did Green Dot Bank support say?

I did multiple times though

They said in the future. Any other ways to unlock it quickly?
