Hi Nabeel Yousaf,

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. You can also add an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

Hi Goran,

I have the same issue kindly help.

The issue due to the policy of the State Bank of Pakistan.

As Credit/Debit Card user cannot add his/her card to any subscription website.

We may do payment but the card will not be authenticated.

Waiting for your kind response.

Hello, I am facing the same problem. I am trying to buy connects but my Visa card keeps geting declined. I used my brother's card just to be sure and his doesnt work either. Please let me know when someone from the staff can help me with this matter because it is very urgent. Thanks and take care. 

[#13]

Hi Blend,

I was facing the same issue; I don't know about your country but in Pakistan, because of security reasons they do not allow us to add the debit card into a subscription-based website (like Upwork) as these sites save our card information and bank automatically declined these kinds of verification requests).

So best solution is to check with your Bank, if they have a same rule, and they will also let you know if the card has been declined by your Bank or not.

Urgent please, since the past four days, I've been unable to buy connects on Upwork with my Mastercard. Just the same response the op get is what I get.

It's telling me payment declined. Please help me out. I complained to my bank and but they said there's no problem with my card.

[#16]

Dear friend,

1.Please make sure that the card you are using is suitable
for international payments.

2.Try an alternate payment method.

3. Clear your web browser for cookies and try again.

I hope this will be helpful.

Upwork is always up to date and committed to provide the
best services to all the people concerned.

Hi Godwin,

I checked, and it looks like your issuing bank declined the transaction. Please reach out to them to confirm the specific decline error. You may also consider using a different billing method. This can vary based on your location, but all Upwork users will be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal. To see the options available to you, click here.

Dear Bojan,
I am also facing this issue, while trying to add billing method I used my Visa Debit card but it was declined by upwork though I have checked from my bank multiple time as well but there might be some issue at Upwork payment gateway.
Please help me out on this as I am new to this network and right now out of "connect" to submit any proposal.

Regards,

[#19]

Shahzib,

The problem is not with Upwork Payment Gateway, it's because of the policy of State Bank of Pakistan.

You have to have a Credit Card for such kind of payment; I was facing the same issue, even I have the SCB's Debit Card.

Let me know if you need any help.

BR,

Ahmad Wajeeh.

Ok Thanks for your valuable input.

Hi kashif,

Please contacat your bank officials and know whether your visa card allow foreign payments. 

sometimes you must upgrade your visa card or switch on the foreign transaction through a sms.

Then it will work .For both you must contact bank officials .

I solved my problem through this 

All the Best

I tried to use paypal but in India PayPal does not provide services.

[#25]

Hi Rishma,

I can confirm Paypal does provide service in India. Are you experiencing any problem adding Paypal to your Upwork account? Alternatively, you may use any of the other available billing methods.

Thank you.

[#26]

I tried master credit card that is global and international payment is enabled on it but upwork does't accept that. I tried to add paypal but there is no Indian state name . So what state i can select?
