Facing Issue while buying connects through by Visa Card. Kindly resolve he issue

[djondinium]

Hi Riaz,

I suggest that you ask your friend to check with their bank to see why the specific charge was declined and make sure to have enough balance on the card for the transaction.

Thank you.

identified.

Hi Ar Jay,

I checked and it looks like the decline was from your issuing bank. You may want to reach out to them directly so that they can assist you with the specific decline error.

Hi Don,

I would recommend to reach out to your bank account to check if your account is enabled for international charges or try to add another accepted billing method. Thank you.

While buying connects and after adding card and billing address details, I'm having this issue:

We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.

Any help?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Khemraj,

Could you please confirm if you`re receiving any errors on your end? 
I would also suggest checking with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges. Thank you.

[34ff9636]

Hi,

I have the same problem where i cannot buy connects as the system is not accepting my debt card. Please note that this is very important for all the Freelancers here to have this issue resolved as I can only see a general answer to all questions where it says to "Check with your local bank for international transactions" and "Chose another billing method".

Please see that my card is open for all types of international transactions and I am currently using it for payments online, never had any problem.

Please support

All Freelancers requested,

To check your international usage option under internet banking debit card
details before buying connects on Upwork. If international usage option is
disabled please enable that option and try again..

The Same problem I am facing right now. I am trying to add Meezan Bank Visa Debit card, and they are saying "WE ARE UNABLE TO AUTHORIZE YOUR CARD" and giving me bad CVV error. From the same card I have many international transactions on Fiverr, Guru and NAMECHEAP hosting and never face any problem. I can't understand what's the problem with Upwork. Please resolve my matter as soon as possible.

Hi Muhammad,

Hello Tarun,

I am sorry to hear you’re having trouble purchasing Connects. You will need to reach out to your card bank and clarify with them directly for the declined transaction. Please make sure to inform them that you are using the card as a billing method to purchase in Upwork. You can also try adding a different card to purchase Connects. Feel free to reach out if problems persist.

Thank you

[9c755a1f]

[shipukhan]

Hi, i want buy new connect. But when I try to pay your upwork is not taking my international visa credit card. I don`t have any other option. So. solve my problem by taking my payment by visa card. Thanks.

[luiggi_rosado]

Hi Shipu,

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.
