Know Your Customer

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.

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?

 

  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.

Hello.

 

I am getting the error of "Some of your services are temporarily on hold: We would love to get you up and running again on Upwork. But first, we need you to take a few minutes to verify your identity. Click “Get Started” below to begin or “Learn More” for details. Thank you! GET STARTED or LEARN MORE "

 

I went for the verification, uploaded my CNIC and got the response of "You will get the reponse in 48 hours". It's been more then 48 hours right now but i haven't recived any of the emails or notifications. And the error is still showing on my dashboard. Can someone help how to get through this? 

 

Thanks!

Dear Upwork Support Team,

 

3 days ago I received an email to verify my ID. I completed my ID verification process by providing my ID card as asked. After providing the information I was asked to wait for 24 to 48 hours until you guys review my documents. In the message, it said to contact the support team if the reviewing process takes longer than 48 hours. It's been 2 days now and the reviewing process is still not complete. 

 

Kindly guide me through this issue and resolve it as I'm unable to continue.

Hi, 

 

My freelancer/client account has been restricted because of the "Know Your Customer". It's been more than 4 days, longer than 48 hours and it still hasn't been resolved. I did contact Upwork support and after a single contact (more than 48 hours ago) I still haven't heard back from the support. 

 

Anyway to resolve this quickly as I can't withdraw funds or start new contracts
