I want to "Activate Freelancer Plus" but the below message appears on the screen. A few days ago I already submitted my ID card to verify my identity on Upwork but there is no reply.

 

"Unfortunately, we were unable to process your transaction. Your account is being reviewed. We may need to verify your identity information. Please check your email for the detailed next steps. If you don’t hear back within 2 business days, please contact us."

Hi Muhammad,

 

I followed up with the team and you should be all set. Could you please try upgrading your membership one more time and let us know if you continue getting the same notification?

 

Thank you.

Now this message appears.
"We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or
contact your issuing bank."

Hi Muhammad,

 

In that case, you need to check with your bank for more information on why the specific charge was declined. Check out this help article to learn more about acceptable billing methods for purchasing Connects.

 

Thank you.

I am unable to buy connects and it is appearing the account is being reviewed. However, I am trying to do this for last month but no success yet.

Hi Syed,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. 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.

To learn more about acceptable billing methods please read this help article.

Can i purchase connects from Indian domestic card (that does not support international transactions)

No, because Upwork is in the USA and charges in US-Dollars from the USA, so it is an "international transaction".

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.

I'm trying to add a billing method(master card), but I'm getting this error "we are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank. " Can you help me to sort out this issue? Thanks in advance

Please check whether your card is eligible for online payments. I had the same problem, but after contacting the bank hotline they have activated the feature.

It's working now. Thank You

Hello Today I'm Buy/Requested for connect used by my VISA card. Now I'm want to know how many times needed for update my upwork connect ? Thanks Al Amin

Hi Md,

 

I checked and 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.

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 there! I just want to ask on how to buy connects without a bank account that is link on paypal. Is there any other way to purchased/buy connect?

Hi Rosette,

 

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.

 

In the meantime, you can check out this help article to learn more about acceptable billing methods.

 

Thank you.

Hi Sanam,

 

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline and confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

 

Meantime, you can add an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

 

Thank you!
