Hi Nishu,

 

I checked and 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 Saad,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty adding your card as a billing method. 

 

You can confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your credit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.  You can also contact your Issuing Bank for further assistance with the error message that you received. Thank you for reaching out to us.

Hello,

I am reaching out for support regarding an issue I am experiencing. I recently added a billing method and attempted to purchase connects, but my transactions are being declined by Upwork. When I click to buy connects, the amount is charged to my Visa card, but shortly after, Upwork rejects the transaction and issues a refund. I have contacted my issuing bank, and they confirmed that there are no issues on their end.

Could you please assist me with this problem?
