Hi Oluwatobi, 

If the action buttons that you usually use are grayed out, the Trust & Safety team may have suspended your account. In that case, you will have received an email about the action on your account. You can reply to the email to find out more about the action we’ve taken.

 

That said, if you need to contact support regarding your financial account, you can:

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

 

 

Update: 

 

This thread has been closed from further replies due to its size. We appreciate your participation in the Community and welcome you to continue the conversation on this new thread.

 

Thank you!

Hello Team,

 

I created the upwork account few weeks ago  back looking for assistance with building my brand. I  conigured payment options  and noticed this at the top of the site:
"Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support."

 

 I did not recieve any email or notice of the reasoning and would like to fix this so I can move foward with hiring Talent.

Haven't used our upwork account in a while so I wasn't surprised to see a "suspended due to an expired credit card" when I logged in again. Posted a few jobs and updated the CC on file thinking it would lift the hold like the message says. That was days ago and our account is still on hold. Need to get rolling on this project and I can't wait around for this. Several attempts with the chatbot have been less than helpful in this matter, so please don't tell me to use it.

I recently added a payment method with mastercard to buy connects but it was declined and I received an email that my account was suspended which will be lifted when I add it successfully, which I did and bought the connects but I still can't submit a proposal, now after two days a message appears instead of the suspension message, there was a problem with the billing method and they put it on hold, I still can't submit a proposal.

Hello support forum, 

My account was suspended due to invalid payment method, and I got an email saying it would be released after I update my payment method.

I have successfully update my payment method and my profile has been verified, but my account is still suspended and I am not able to submit proposals. 

Please help me resolve this.

I recently created my account and meticulously followed all the required steps. Despite my efforts, my account has been suspended. there are some clarification on the reason behind this suspension? I'm eager to understand and rectify any mistakes I may have made.
