> we've closed our previous bank account to open a new one. Google tried to send a payment to our previous bank account, it has returned, they instantly locked our payments profile and that's it, the whole story.

Was you previous account Russian based? When was it closed?

If you changed it after the war began I can see how Google would notice a Russian associated company (Whitescape) moving to a new bank account just before/during the sanctions and see it as an attempt to evade them which should obviously be blocked.

It seems this is a lesson to move your company to a more stable country (Canada) as soon as you can. Not to wait until the the leader does something the whole world condemns.

This previous bank account was also in the US: Bank of America. And then, the issue lasts for 2 months+.
yea there's plenty of details that could've been disclosed before presenting a one sided story
The problem is, Google hasn't disclosed their side of story: there's no official reason given. That's the problem: their algorithms did something and that's it. I tried to provide as much data points as I could and answered every question in the thread.
There are plenty of comments one could’ve read before jumping to conclusions too.
