Hello there,

I want to update my membership plan and I am trying to add a visa card as a billing method. I saw the following error: "We are unable to authorize your card. Kindly contact with your Issuing Bank." I contact with my bank and use the same card on other websites, it is working well. Kindly help me to resolve this issue so I can buy more connects to work.

Hi I tried to buy connects through my VISA debit card but when I do it says your payment cannot be processed. Please check what's the issue I also have balance in my card if thats the case. I need the connects urjently. 

hello, i am hussain **Edited for Community Guidelines** i want to buy connects but my payment is declined two time, plz resolve my issue i want continue my work. Thanks

Hi Hussain,

 

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’.

Please my payment method has a different first name with my upwork account. Is this why I can’t buy connects?

Hi Enyinna,

 

As long as the owner of the billing method authorized you to use it, you should be able to add it to your account. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly.

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