And my linked bank account is national (Bank of Baroda, INDIA) account only.. Is it really necessary that my debit card should be International? So, How do I add my debit card to billing methods? Please suggest me friends... Advance Thanks,

Hi Sagarmoy,
There are three billing methods available to freelancers, Credit or Debit Card, PayPal, or Upwork Balance. You can read more about this here.
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’.

Hi Jawad,

I am not able to buy connects on upwork through paypal.Earlier it was working fine for me. In the billing method, pyapal is added as payment method and i have suffcient fund in my account also to buy the same
Sep 6, 2020 02:54:49 AM by NikolaS N
Hi Imroz,
In order to use Paypal as a billing method on Upwork, your Paypal account must have a linked credit or debit card for recurring payments (for example, for membership fees). For cases like this, a funding source is required to add Paypal as a billing method. You can also check the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods.

If your card supports dual-currency then you are able to purchase. Contact your bank hope they can exact explanation of why your card is not working.
