There might be some issue with your Visa card, better confirm if online payments are working or not.

Hi Nadia, 

I checked your account and can see that all the cards rejected the transaction on Upwork. Please check this with your bank so that you can use your credit/debit card on Upwork moving forward. 

In the meantime, you may add other billing method options that are available to you in your location.

Hey everyone,

 

From last few days, I am trying to add my visa debit card in the billing method and every time I see this error, we are unable to authorize the card. I am entering the right detail also I contacted my bank, they say from our side there is no issue. I added another visa card, with this card, no error comes.

 

I want to add my own debit card. Kindly give me the right information, how can I overcome this

"We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank". I have a bank account in "Get Paid" and already withdraw using the bank account and it was success. But there is an error message when I buy connects using the same bank account. I need help so I can start working. Thank you

Hi Feljun, 

 

I would like to confirm that withdrawing your Upwork earnings, and using it as a billing method are two different financial processes. And upon checking your account, I can see that the bank rejected the transaction. I would definitely recommend that you contact your issuing bank for more information about why the transaction was rejected. In the meantime, you can use a different credit/debit card to purchase connects.
