What is they reason? and how to resovle this issue?

 

Any help or suggestion. Thanks in Advance

Hi Sruthi,

 

I checked, and it looks like the decline was from the issuing bank. You may want to reach out to the issuing bank about the sepcific decline error.

I'm unable to buy connects. Everytime I try to pay for buying connects, I see the following message.

 

"Unfortunately, we were unable to process your transaction. Your account is being reviewed. We may need to verify your identity information. Please check your email for the detailed next steps. If you don’t hear back within 2 business days, please contact us."

 

Please let me know how to solve this

Hi Ansar, looks like your account is not yet verified by Upwork. First complete your profile and submit for review, once your profile is approved you can buys connects without any problem.

Hope this helps

~kashif

Hi, kashif thanks for the response. Can you tell me where do I need to submit it for review?

Hi Ansar,

 

I can see that your profile has already been approved. Please also check this post and the freelancer resource corner to help you get started on Upwork. As for purchasing Connects, you will need to add a billing method on file. Here's the help article for more information.

Hello !
I am getting this error now while adding my visa in order to buy connects,
“You’ve exceeded your credit limit or have insufficient funds. Please add another billing method”.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Eman,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding.

Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

Hi Amit Kumar,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

 

Meantime, you can add an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

 

Thank you!

Hi, as Upwork is going to implement a new connect system I am willing to upgrade my account to the pro version.  Unfortunately, currently, I don't have any funds in my account, PayPal is not available in my country ( Bangladesh ) and I don't have a credit card. I used to receive fund directly via wire transfer. 

Can I use my cousins's credit card to purchase connects?  In that case, the card name will be different from my account name.

Hello Tawhidul,

 

You can use a billing method you are authorized to use. If any issues arise, our team will notify you directly. You can check this article for more information about billing methods and this one to learn more about Connects

Thank you.
