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!

I had hired a freelancer but due to some reason, the payment was not getting released from my bank account and Upwork had frozen my account. So, I have now set up my Upwork billing method. Could you please check if the payment can now be released and unsuspend my account? Thank you very much.
Regards,
Muhammad.

Hello, I am a freelancer on upwork but I also hire other freelancers. I need to pay my bill but I can not receive my money from upwork to pay this bill.... can someone contact me please so we can get this figured out. I am stranded in Italy with no money because I was robbed and now you are holding my payment, timing is pretty important here.

Hi Christopher,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the status of your account. I checked your account and noticed that your account has been placed on hold due to an issue with your billing method. I see that your card payment has been declined and you have a balance that needs to be cleared to restore your account.

I have been asked from donotreplay@upwork.com to verify my identity 
and i did uploaded the documents
still have not reviewed yet 

when i click on get paid 
i got a message of account suspended ( financial account suspended )
and when i go to identity verification , i got a banner of financial transaction has been limited 

is it because you haven't reviewed my documents yet 
or i got suspended during something else 

and what should i know to withdraw my available funds

i have requested a ticket , upwork team said that it might take 24-48 to get a solution 
but i actually posted it 3 days ago 

so can anyone help ?

I received money through Direct contracts for the work I did for a client outside of Upwork. But for some reason after the payment was made, my financial account was suspended. I have created a support ticket but no reply for well over 24 hours now. Any help?

I have contacted the relevant team as you said, but they promised a response in 48 hours. It has been over 72 hours now and no feedback.

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?

Regards,

Muhammad
