Hi Nauman, 

 

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.

Hello Team Upwork,

I am unable to buy connects for my agency account as it is showing the error page. I have only one paying method. I have removed all caches and tried doing it but the same error message pops up. My card works fine on other websites. Please help.

Regards,

Aswini Bajaj

Hi Kashif,

 

I'd like to clarify that some card-issuing banks will restrict the use of debit cards on Upwork due to the payments being classified as 'recurring'. Please, make sure that you are filling all the required fields correctly and that your card-issuing bank allows recurring transactions. Alternatively, you may use any other of the available billing methods.

 

Thank you.
