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:

My freelancer account is suspended because I had to pay on my enterprise account... I realized I had the wrong card on the account and paid the bill right away. Can I get my account unsuspended?

I have this ongoing issue that customer service seems to be unable to solve. at this point it's been a week since I've updated my payment information and i'm still unable to resume my contracts. I need someone with a pulse to solve this issue for me. Customer service just sends me the same canned response and it's really starting to make me consider using other platforms. I've probably spend 200K on upwork lifetime and I'm about 3 days away from cutting ties.

Hi Upwork teams, Greetings.

 

This is Ateeb. I am facing an error on my Upwork profile regarding the payment method. 

It says "Your financial account -__________- has been suspended due to issues with payment methods on file. Please update payment methods to restore full functionality to your account.".

 

I have updated my payment method, yet the problem persists.

I am not sure what's the problem with that. Please help.

Hi Owais,

I understand that you are facing an issue with your financial account being suspended due to payment method issues. To resolve this issue, you should contact Upwork's customer support team for assistance.

You can contact Upwork's customer support team by going to the Help Center and clicking on the "Contact Upwork Support" button. From there, you can choose the appropriate category for your issue and submit a ticket. Alternatively, you can try contacting them through live chat or phone support.

When you contact customer support, make sure to provide them with all the necessary details about your financial account and the payment methods you have updated. They will be able to assist you further and help you restore full functionality to your account.

In the meantime, you may want to review your payment methods to ensure that they are valid and up-to-date. You can also check if there are any pending payments or disputes that need to be resolved.

I hope this helps!

Hi Pradeep,

 

I was wondering if you could help me also. I've had the message 'Financial transactions for ... have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support. ' for about 9 days now.

 

I've contacted Upwork support but I still can't witdraw my earnings (2 weeks now). The last I heard about this is that it's a technical issue on Upwork's side that is affecting other users as well, and you are trying to resolve it. But I'm not seeing this on your 'known issues' page:

https://community.upwork.com/t5/Known-Issues-and-Workarounds/idb-p/KnownIssues

 

I'm even considering leaving Upwork (been working with you guys for about 15 years now), can you tell me how much time this will take to be resolved? Should I continue working with my current customers, even if I'm not getting paid?

 

All the best,

Hi Carlos,

 

First off, I'd like to apologize for the delay. Our support teams are currently dealing with an influx of inquiries, which has caused a bit of a backlog. But please know that we haven't forgotten about you, and we're working diligently to address your ticket and get you the help you need.
 
To help us streamline the process, please refrain from creating multiple tickets or posts about the same issue. This allows our team to assist you more efficiently and ultimately get you the best possible outcome. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through this together.

Hi Luiggi,

 

Hope you’re well.

I refrained from creating multiple posts about this issue, or tickets, as you recommended, but it's been 19 days since I reported this issue to Upwork support and it hasn't been resolved. What the ETA on this fix? I've started to work less hours with my customers (some of them enterprise). Is it ok if I ask them to contact support as well to expedite this issue?

I talked to other freelancers in my various jobs, and they don't report having the same issue, can you tell me how many freelancers in Upwork is this bug affecting? Last time I talked to support they informed this was a technical issue affecting other freelancers, not just me.

All the best,

Carlos.
