Here’s what I think might be happening. The deleted software triggered a fraud alert with the Payment Network Operator (Visa, Mastercard, American Express etc.). If not a fraud alert, some other security alert. The bank may or may not be aware of the block from the PNO.


Reinstalling the software does not change what the PNO detected. The bank’s support team might be able to get the block lifted, but banks rarely do this, in my experience.


Have you tried resetting all settings? Are you using a VPN?
