Hi Majida,

 

I would suggest checking with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges or adding another credit card to your PayPal wallet. You can also check out our other available billing methods Here. Thank you.

Hi I am from Pakistan and I am using ABL Debit Card to buy Connects, but th system is not accepting my card. Can you please guide?

Hi Sameer,

 

It looks like the charge on your debit 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 debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as โ€™recurringโ€™.

 

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

 

Thank you!

I have non-English letters in my surname on my credit card but when I enter my surname I can't use them. (originally TรผrkoฤŸlu, in upwork turkoglu). So basically they are no matches. Might that be the issue? I've already talked to my bank authorizer about the problem, and they said there should not be any problem with charging. Can you please guide me about the situation?
thanks
