Frozen Account
An account that is temporarily inaccessible, often due to suspected fraudulent activity or a court order.
More Details
A frozen account is a financial account that has been temporarily suspended and is not able to be used for transactions or access to funds. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as a request by the account holder, a legal order, or a bank's internal policies.

You recently noticed fraudulent activity on your basic checking account. After you reported this to MCU, your account was frozen in order to protect you and your funds.
