What Do I Do If My Uphold Account Has the Wrong Balance?

If you've ever checked your bank account and noticed that the balance shown is not what you expected, you know how frustrating it can be when something goes wrong with your finances. Unfortunately, this problem can also occur with digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This blog post will explain what to do if you notice a discrepancy in your Uphold account.

What Causes the Difference?

There are a few reasons why your Uphold account might show a balance different from what you were expecting. One possibility is that you made a mistake when entering the amount of currency you wanted to buy or sell. Another possibility is that there was an error in the transaction itself.

For example, if you were trying to send Bitcoin to someone and the transaction got stuck in the blockchain, your Uphold account would reflect the outgoing transaction but not the incoming one. Assuming that you didn't make a mistake and there wasn't an error in the transaction, the most likely explanation is that the the price of digital currency in your account has changed.

So, if the price of Bitcoin went up between the time you made a transaction and the time it was processed, your account balance would be higher than expected. Similarly, if the price of Bitcoin went down, your account balance would be lower. Call customer support when an issue arises.

What Should I Do?

If you notice that your Uphold account has a different balance than what you were expecting, you should first check the prices of the digital currencies in your account. You can do this by going to the Prices tab on Uphold.com and selecting a cryptocurrency from the drop-down menu.

Once you've checked the prices, compare them to the prices at the time of your transaction. If the prices have changed enough to account for the difference in your balance, then there's nothing to worry about, and you can rest assured that your funds are safe. However, if the prices haven't moved enough to explain the discrepancy, you may have a problem.

If you suspect an issue with your account, contact Uphold's customer support team. They can help you figure out what's going on and make sure that your account is corrected.

What Should You Have When Contacting Support?

When you contact Uphold's customer support team, be sure to have the following information handy:

  1. Your account number

  2. The date and time of your transaction

  3. The amount of currency you were expecting to see in your account

  4. A detailed description of the problem you're experiencing

By having this information ready, you can get help more quickly and resolve the issue as soon as possible. Having the relevant information handy when engaging customer help service will enable them to investigate and correct the problem more efficiently.

If the customer support team contacts you, respond quickly so that they can investigate and correct the problem more efficiently. Sometimes, the security protocol calls for the team to verify your identity.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Uphold Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day.
