Hello Team,

I am facing the same issue of unable to pay and buy connects. My debit card is active. Have tried more than 5 to 6 times but facing the same error message.

Please help.

Best,
Devat

Hi Devat,

 

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.
