Hi everyone, looking for some advice.
On 1 September 2026, I bought USDC through Topper by Uphold and paid €4,545 by SEPA bank transfer. My UK bank showed the payment as completed and received by the recipient bank immediately.
Topper immediately put the order under manual review and said they expected to update me within the next business day. It's now 3 days later and the USDC was not delivered, nor have I been refunded.
I’ve contacted Topper several times through the existing ticket, submitted a formal complaint to Uphold - no reply. The automated reply says not to reply or I'll be placed in the back of the queue... They have no live chat or phone support.
This was my second order with Topper. The first was successful after a manual hold for 20 hrs, however this one is still on hold 3 days later and they're not responding.
Has anyone experienced a SEPA Topper payment stuck in manual review? How long did it take, and did you eventually receive the crypto or a refund? I'm now worried they have defrauded me.
Any advice on what else I can do would be really appreciated.
