Western Union Transfer on Hold for Verification

Sent money through Western Union and expected it to be ready for pickup within minutes, but the status says it's on hold pending verification. I’ve used the service before with no issues, so I’m wondering what might trigger this and how long it usually takes to clear.

If you paid with a card or bank account that raises a red flag (e.g., new payment Sprunki method, large amount, flagged region).

That helped simplify things. I was reading way too much into it. Thanks for giving a clear answer without too much extra.
