Hi Vikram,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card is being declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline. You can also check out this help article for more information about the Billing Methods available for purchasing connects and membership plans.

 

Thanks!

I have tried with removing and adding the card, but the issue is still there. But I think there is no issue with the card because I always use this card to purchase connects.

Hello


Please I am trying to buy more connects on Upwork and I keep getting an error message that says my payment could not be processed.


I have sufficient funds in my card and my card is active so I do not understand what is going on.

Do you have a verified payment method on file? If you are a FL only (no client account) and have not spent money here before, that might be the issue. (UW doesn't always make it clear what the obstacle is.)

I do have a verified payment method and also I had this issue before while
trying to purchase connects.
