Hi all, I recently created an agency account. I haven't added anybody, but as soon as I created it, I am being shown this notification.
'''
We are completing a Know Your Customer review of your account. This process should be completed within 24 to 48 hours. If the hold on your account is not removed within 48 hours, please contact Upwork Customer Support.
'''
So, kindly help me with this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Khurram,
I want to confirm that we have several verification processes. This helps us confirm that a user's identity is legitimate and they are who they say they are, which keeps the marketplace safe from fraudulent users.
On Upwork, users may be asked to verify their identities from time to time. In this case, the team is reviewing your account as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) Identity Information process. Although it may seem that the methods are the same, they are for different purposes.
If it has been more than 48-hours and your account is still being reviewed, you can come back here or contact the Customer Support Team directly to be assisted further. How do I reach a human in customer support?

Hi,
I am getting this message sonce last 4 days "We are completing a Know Your Customer review of your account. This process should be completed within 24 to 48 hours. If the hold on your account is not removed within 48 hours, please contact Upwork Customer Support." However the issue should have been resolved in 48 hours. The problem is when i added my payment mehtod, i got the message that my name on bank account and name on ID does not match. The Sur name was missing on my Bank Account details and later i added my other bank account which matched exactly with my ID. Now can anyone please tell me when my this issue will be resolved ?

Hi support, I had an identity verification issue leading to the suspension of my account. it has now been rectified as I have been able to adduce the relevant documents for review. The ban has now been lifted and location + identity verification now resolved.
However, I still have the caption "You are unable to complete ID Verification due to a suspension on your account. Check your email to review the status of your suspension." showing in my account, and while I understand that my account is back to normal, the caption makes for a scary sight.
Cheers, (and God bless!)
