I finally got hit with a weird international transfer hold last Thursday

I sent a payment to a supplier in Germany for about $2,300 through my usual online banking portal. The money left my account immediately, but the recipient's bank flagged it and held the funds for five full business days. My bank said it was a new automated fraud check on their end, not mine. Has anyone else had a routine business payment get stuck like this recently?

Ugh, my Venmo got frozen last week too.

Seriously, it's happening to everyone lately. Mine was locked for like three days over a dumb small payment.
