Adding my voice to this quite long thread of frustrated customers. I just registered with a new (to Box) address and wanted to add some “juice” to the account, but I am not able to jump this hurdle. Thank you in advance for looking into the problem.

👋 Hi ​@lensbirdie, thank you for reaching out, and I completely understand how frustrating it is to run into roadblocks when you're simply trying to upgrade your account.


This verification error typically occurs when our automated security and fraud prevention systems flag newly registered email domains or payment details for a quick standard security review before processing an upgrade.


We have reviewed your account, confirmed that everything looks good, and cleared any blocks on our end. Please try Upgrading Your Box Account again and let us know if the upgrade goes through smoothly. If you run into any further issues or need additional help, please don't hesitate to reach out directly to our Billing Team at billing@box.com.


Thank you!

I am trying to upgrade my Box account to the Business Plus plan, but I am unable to complete the purchase. When I reach the checkout/payment stage, I receive an error message stating: “There was an error processing your request. Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket at support.box.com.”

I have tried to proceed with the upgrade, but the same error continues to appear. I would like to understand why my account requires additional verification and what information or documents are needed to complete the verification process.

Could you please review my account, explain the reason for the verification requirement, and help me complete the upgrade to Box Business Plus? I would also appreciate guidance on whether there is anything I need to change or provide regarding my account or payment information.
