ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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.

Hi, 

I have an issue with my account being suspended due to issues with payment methods. The warning message mentions updating my payment methods, which I already did, but nothing has changed. 
Please see attached screenshot of the warning message.


Can anyone help with this, please? Thank you.

Hi, 

I'm not sure why but the "Apply" button is disabled on all the jobs. I was not inactive either. I had an active contract until last week. 

If I somehow manage to get to the proposal page and try to submit the proposal, I get this error message:

There was an error loading this page: error [7bcce5a59f0a26b9-BLR, 7bcce5a59f0a26b9-BLR]. Contact Upwork Support for more information.

Good Day -

 

I am completely frustrated with this message:

Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support.

 

You can't contact customer support, I dont owe any money, I've updated my card.  It's extremely frustrating.    Anyone know how to fix this??

I was using Visa card of my uncle as primary billing method for my account. I got financial hold on my account and received no email about it. I appealed in upwork help center 3 days ago and the Upwork team member replied 2 days ago saying she is researching the issue and then will let me know. I just found out that VISA card of my uncle was lost 5 days ago and he deactivated it. he forgot to tell me about it. I have already changes the card 2 days ago and told upwork help team member as well. Will my account be recovered? and How long will it take?

Muhammad

Hello,

 

I am reaching out to seek your assistance and advice regarding an issue I am currently facing with my Upwork account. My financial transactions have been limited, and despite contacting Upwork Support and receiving an initial response, there has been no progress or further communication on this issue for two days now. I have tried adding a credit card and checked my bills for any outstanding payments, but there seems to be no apparent reason for this limitation.

 

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? If so, could you please share your experience and any possible solutions or advice? Also, if any Upwork moderators or support staff members are reading this post, I kindly request your attention to my case (Request #40235609).

I have received email regarding my financial transaction have been limited. I have followed all the instructions and submitted all the required documents. They also asked some of my clients to reply some questions and all my clients have replied and its been 2 days. I still see my financial transactions are limited. 

 

I have sent email to upwork compliance and yet to receive any response from them.

 

Now, I am seeking support from you to resolve my problem so that I can start normal activities.

Hi,

 

I get this message "Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support." But I have not got any email yet.

Hi Moderator Panel 

 

I am a freelancer and all my clients are outside of upwork. I used to use direct contract with then recurring basis weekly/monthly/other interval based on their requirements. I also used to receive my payments installment basis as per my clients request. Suddenly, Upwork has limited my financial transactions with an existing balance of USD 2023.77 and I have some other existing contract there. 

 

I have submitted all the documents for their review and I got 'Good to go" mail from verification centre. But still my financial transactions are shown limited. I requested that respective Upwork agent to do it fast so that my earnings are not impacted. They replied it will require another 24-48 hours to review. 

 

I came to know from my clients that they also received some questions and they replied to Upwork.  So all the required documents are sent to Upwork from both my client side and my side 2 days before. Its been 4 days, I am with this limited financial transaction in my Upwork  account.

 

I want to know why they have limited my financial transactions? Is there any procedures to make this process more easier, fast and user friendly. For this process, I cannot receive money from my customer and that contracts are being expired.

 

I am seeking your cordial cooperation regarding this.

Hi, 

 

I have an issue with applying for a job, earlier I got a request from Upwork to update tax information in my profile and I just did it, so should I wait for a couple of more days till the hold will be removed or something is wrong and it should have been removed immediately? 

Hi Gevorg,

 

Thank you for your message. I see that your account has been placed on hold due to failed charge on your card. Could you please add a new active card and remove cards with expired and failed charges status?

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

My financial transactions is limited, I don't know why. Previously, i got a client that was a scammer and my contract was suspended. I did the work if 3 hours before the suspension. I asked support team and they said it's not protected under hourly protective, i said okay. But now i don't now upwork reverse 11 dollars first and send me the email that we are refunding, i raised some questions. Then they suspend my financial transactions and then do a refund of 93 dollars.

Now the 3 hours payment is refunded to the client. 
but my financial transactions is suspended until now?

Can anyone please help me on this?

Hi Noman,

 

I'm sorry to learn about this experience you had with a client and the unexpected refund that's been processed on your account. Please note that when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed.

 

I can see that the team has reached out via email with more information and instructions on how to resolve the issue. You've also raised a ticket with the same concern and it's being escalated to the appropriate team for further review. Please allow our team 24-48 hours to review your case and you will be getting an update with one of your tickets on this page once done. We seek your patience and utmost understanding while sorting this out for you. Thank you!
