Griffin Bank account restrictions API is one of 28 APIs that [Griffin](https://apis.io/providers/griffin/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Bank account restrictions. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, and a getting-started guide.

Restrictions prevent payments on a bank account. A `freeze` blocks outbound payments while still allowing inbound payments. A `block` prevents both inbound and outbound payments. Restrictions can be applied at any point in the account lifecycle (`opening`, `open`, `closing`, or `closed`), and multiple restrictions can be active on the same account simultaneously. Each restriction is independent — lifting one does not affect others. Restrictions can only be updated or lifted if `active`. For more information, see our guide on [managing restrictions](/docs/guides/managing-restrictions).
