Locked bank accounts have no remote resolution path, requiring repeated branch visits

When banks lock accounts, customers are directed to branches where staff cannot resolve the issue or even explain what documentation is required. Multiple visits result in the same dead end, and the account cannot be closed remotely even when customers want to leave the bank. The absence of a defined escalation or self-service resolution workflow traps customers in an indefinite access deadlock.
