I can't remember or have lost access to my email address
If you've forgotten the email you use for Uphold, consider the following tips:
- Check all your email accounts. Search your inbox for any emails you might have received from Uphold (funds received, sent, spent or traded).
- Check your Uphold contact list. If you ever sent funds to a family member or a friend with an Uphold account, they might be able to help you identify the email address you have used.
Important: We'll only ever contact you from the following domains:
- @uphold.com
- @help.uphold.com
- @marketing.uphold.com
- @upholdmail.com
- @unboxed.uphold.com
If you've lost access to your email and can't log in to your Uphold account, contact us using this form to raise a ticket and we will get in touch to verify your identity and get you sorted.
I'm not receiving emails from Uphold
- Search all your mail for "uphold", including Spam, Junk and Archive.
- Check if your filters and forwarding aren't diverting our emails elsewhere.
- Check if your mailbox isn't full. A full mailbox rejects new emails.
- Add noreply@uphold.com to your safe senders list.
- Ask your email provider whether uphold.com is being blocked at the server level.
The email confirmation link does not work
Links are tied to the device and connection you started on. That's usually why one fails.
- Start and finish on the same device & browser.
- Stay on the same network. Don't switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data part-way through.
- Check device and network blockers:
- Turn off your VPN. On Apple devices, turn off Private Relay too, as it masks your IP the same way. How to manage Private Relay.
- On Android devices, if the link opens in a browser instead of the Uphold app, go to Device Settings → Apps → Uphold → Open by default (or Opening Links) → toggle on Open supported links.
- Request a fresh link. Old ones expire after 15 mins.
I'm being asked to approve my login on my phone
This is expected. Web logins need approval from a trusted mobile device.
- Log in on the web as normal.
- Approve the request on the phone where you're signed in to the Uphold app.
- Go back to your browser. You'll be signed in.
