A: If you believe that your crypto address or an address you are attempting to send funds to has been banned in error, you can contact Shakepay's customer support team to request a review of the ban. Please provide any relevant information or documentation that may help us evaluate your request.

Q: How can I make sure my crypto address is not banned by Shakepay?
