How do I re-verify my account to clear a billing issue?

If your account was blocked, you will immediately receive an email explaining how to resolve the issue. Contact your dedicated account manager or Bright Data’s compliance team at compliance@brightdata.com. To reinstate your blocked account, you will need to provide the following:

A company registration form
A photo of the flagged payment method

Why was my account is suspended due to billing issues?

Bright Data may suspend your account (which prevents access to any zones in it) due to billing issues for one of the following reasons:

A discrepancy between payment method and personal details
The user has logged in from a country that differs from where the credit card is from
Too many attempts to process a declined payment
Failure to authenticate a credit card payment using 3D secure

To enable your account again and exit the suspension state, review your billing details and fix missing or incorrect information. Once billing is resumed, your account will be active again automatically. If from some reason it doesn’t - contact your account manager.

Why was my account is disabled?

Bright Data disables (note: disabled account differs from a suspended account) accounts that have been idle for 12 months. To re-enable your account you need to reach out to our staff, either through the Help & Support section in the control panel, or by emailing sales@brightdata.com.

What if my account is not in “active” status for the entire month?

If you have remaining funds in your balance during a month in which you were inactive, you will not lose your balance, but will be charged to bring that balance up to the minimum monthly commitment on the 1st day of the next month.

How can I prevent suspension of my account?

If your account suspended due to insuffecient funds, you can always charge funds to your account and the suspension will be removed immediately.To ensure that your account is never suspended, we highly recommend that you use our automatic recharging option. It can be activated in the “billing” section of your account and ensures uninterrupted service. Auto recharge starts to work when your available balance drops below 85% of the total account balance. The amount set is entirely up to you and can be of any denomination. You can find the auto recharge section here.
