Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access Uphold® Exchange if my login isn't working?

If you're experiencing Uphold login not working issues, first try resetting your password using the "Forgot Password" link. If you've lost access to your 2FA device, contact Uphold® Support for assistance with Uphold 2fa reset. For persistent Uphold App not working problems, try reinstalling the application or using the web platform instead.

What should I do if I see an "Error Connecting Uphold Account" message?

This error typically indicates temporary server issues or connectivity problems. First, check your internet connection and try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, check Uphold's status page for any reported system outages. You can also try accessing your account from a different device or network. If you continue experiencing Error Connecting Uphold Account messages, contact support for further assistance.

Why can't I verify my Uphold wallet to access the exchange?

If you can't verify your Uphold wallet, ensure you've provided all required identification documents clearly. Verification delays can occur during high-volume periods. Make sure your documents are not expired and that the images are clear and legible. If your verification remains pending for an extended period, contact Uphold® Support with your account details for assistance.

What does an "Uphold error decline" mean during exchange transactions?

An Uphold error decline during exchange transactions typically indicates one of several issues: insufficient funds in your source account, security flags on the transaction, payment method restrictions, or exceeding account limits. First, verify your account balance and ensure you haven't reached any trading limits. If everything appears correct, contact your bank to ensure they're not blocking the transaction, then check with Uphold® support if the issue continues.

How long does Uphold® account recovery take if I'm locked out?

Uphold Account Recovery time varies depending on the issue. Password reset is typically immediate via email. For more complex recovery situations like 2FA reset or account access issues, the process may take 24-72 hours as Uphold® verifies your identity to ensure account security. During this process, you may be asked to provide identification documents or answer security questions.

Is there a difference between the web exchange and mobile app trading?

The core trading functionality is identical between the web platform (Uphold.com login) and the Uphold App. Both provide access to the same Uphold Exchange with all trading pairs and features. However, the interface may differ slightly to optimize for each platform. Some users find the web platform better for complex trading analysis, while the mobile app offers convenience for quick trades and portfolio monitoring.
