Didn't they say what the reason is? what did you use the account for?
Do you tried Revolut, Airwallex ?

wise said they couldn't give any specific reason for security concerns, i used wise to receive payouts from stripe and pay my vendors, nothing shady and it was a 3 year old wise, also alot of my friends experienced this ban, so many wise accounts were suspended in last few weeks for no reason.
i guess revolut won't work for me i'm canadian. i will try airwallex thanks for suggesiton

"No reason"? Of course, there is a reason. Wise thrives on fees, so banning an account due to third-party transfers doesn't make sense. I believe your counterparty, especially if they are involved in P2P transactions, could be the cause. Additionally, having a personal account doesn't help in this situation
Payoneer could work
Payoneer could work
Why were you using a personal account to receive Stripe? And what vendors were you paying? That's not normal personal account usage, especially if it's as you say a lot of money.
Anyway, there's your reason , or at least one of them. You're using a personal account for business purposes.
Other EMIs are going to come to the same conclusion︀ sooner or later. Just open a company and a business account instead next time.

As soon as I heard this ( for a personal account) your whole suspended for no reason argument disappeared.
I bet my SCROTUMS he was NOT paying vendors owned by institutional investors (e.g., Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.). 😉

If you are an EU Citizen I recommend using N26 for personal use. I had to call their customer service on several occasions and they were responsive + helpful which is as you know quite rare with these providers. They offer cashback as well, albeit a minimum percentage (but should at least cover your costs).
Been using it for my business myself but there's 2 annoying things about that: a maximum monthly spending of 20k per month with your card (which is ridiculous but transfers are unlimited though) and even though you have a corporate account it'll be still in your own personal name. However,︀ so far it's been headache-free ride so I'm still quite fond of them.

N26 is good but @arjunsuru claims to be a Canadian 🙂 , so no-go.
Nevertheless, the root of the problem was︅ well depicted by @Sols and @Martin Everson – using a personal account clearly for business︆ purposes.
@arjunsuru, if you do not like to have a company (what is quite︇ possible), seek for a freelancer account, or for a provider which allows freelancers to use︈ personal account. The former available for Canadians you can find e.g. with Zen.com, I guess.︉
