Charge Failed

[94ec841c]

I need help with my billing method. I have an active card with sufficient balance to pay for my transactions but it always says "Charge Failed". I was supposed to hire someone. How can I fix this?

[pradeephele]

Hello Angeline,

Thank you for contacting us. I see that your transaction was declined due to the limit on your card. Please contact your bank or try again using another card.

Thank you.

Pradeep.

I already increased the limit of my bank account but still doesn't work.

Hi Angeline,

I checked your account and I can see that you have withdrawn your funds 2 days ago. Please keep in mind that It can take up to four business days to arrive at your bank. If you have not received the funds after 8 business days let us know, and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you!

Hi Goran,

I actually have two concerns, but yeah I can see that Upwork just processed my withdrawal as of this moment. My other concern that hasn't been resolved yet is that I cant use my card to hire a freelancer on my client account. It keeps saying Charged Failed.

Hello I have the same problem about the billing method they tell me charge failed

Hi Salim,

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 Hugh,

I checked, and it looks like the transaction declined. It would be best that you reach out to your card-issuing bank so that they can check on the specific decline error. 

[e0f40e08]

 I have tried using 2 active billing methods, one visa and one mastercard, with enough limit and funds to start a contract with a freelancer. International transactions are enabled on both. Still Upwork says Charge Failed. I dont know how to rectify this issue so I can proceed with my contract.

Hi Faiza,

[4e5349f8]

Hi Annie, I am also getting the "charge failed" error. I have phoned the issuing bank and there is no problem with the credit card. They told me that it must be from Upwork's side. I need to pay the hired freelancers and our projects have now grinded to a halt which means missed deadlines and compounding costs.

[759e32fa]

Hi Nicolaas,

Thank you for reaching out. I checked your account and it looks like your payments already went through. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

[c333e12f]

Hello!
I have the same "charge failed" error. One payment was successful and the money was taken. With the other one, I have this issue.
I also have a question - if it is possible to hire two freelancers at the same time?

I really appreciate any help you can provide. Have a nice day!

[4e417e93]
