Hi Ishtiaque and Anand,

 

Ishtiaque, as long as the owner of the billing method authorized you to use it, you should be able to add it to your account and use it to purchase Membership plus. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Purchasing Connects can vary based on your location, but all Upwork users will be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. Additionally, if you have a balance on Upwork you can use it to buy Connects. To learn more about acceptable billing methods for paying connects please read this help article.

If you are from US, you can use your bank account to buy the connects.

If not, you cannot buy the connects using your bank account, instead you can use credit / debit card. Make sure it is enabled to do online / international transaction.
