"Charge failed" - But enough money in bank account

[Hassan A]

Hi,

I'm making a deposit for a milestone with enough funds in my bank account. However, when I click "Hire", an update billing method popup appears.

I re-enter my card details, then it returns "You already have this payment method on file" - with a clickable link "current payment methods" which does nothing when clicked.

I've used this visa business card several time and it's always worked.

When I update the card in settings, it's fine, up until I click "Hire" again - then it displays "Charge failed"..

Hassan:

When setting up payment methods to pay Upwork, you really need to use true credit cards, and not pre-paid cards, debit cards, etc. Using other kinds of cards is typically why people have trouble with this...

Preston, 

Your canned solution doesn't work - and I tried it beforehand.

I'm using a business visa card, which has worked with Upwork in several projects.

My card is NOT a prepaid card. My card is a REAL business VISA card that has WORKED with upwork in the past, and has the FUNDS IN.

Hi,

I've just called the Bank, my Bank is not blocking anything, there is no credit limit, and I do have enough funds in my account. They did recieve a transaction from Upwork for zero.

This is a problem on your end, moreover, recently, others on this forum seem to be having a similar issue.
