Unfortunately this is essentially what anti-money laundering laws require businesses to do. It's illegal to "tip off" a customer of the reasons you flagged them for being under suspicion of money launder/evading sanctions/funding terrorism. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470685280.ch...

I agree that it's a frustrating / bad experience for customers especially when they get flagged by a false alarm e.g. https://news.bitcoin.com/the-moss-piglet-dilemma-paypal-bans...
