Hey, I am trying to connect my friend visa card to buy connect. I did not have my own visa card yet. I have requested my bank to issue my visa card but it takes some time to process the request. So I have read your article and find that we use a card of another person(family or friend) for buying connections but we have to verify the identity. But I did not get the link where I verified the identity of first by sending his national card image.Can you help me with how to verify the payment method to buy connect?

Hi Danish,

 

It looks that you were able to add the card to your account successfully. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly. The charge on the credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure the card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding.

 

Thank you!

As I do not have credit card with visa or mastercard option but have unionpay and don't have connects to apply for new jobs. From many days I'm just looking jobs but can't apply. Up work should add ecurreny options to easily buy connects, withdraw and deposits. Are you agree with me.

Hi Mukesh,

 

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

Hello,

Greetings!

Can virtual prepaid Mastercards be used to buy connects and to pay membership fees on Upwork?

Please let me know.

Best regards,

James

 

Hi James,

Can prepaid virtual mastercards be used to buy connects?

Hi James,


Unfortunately no, please refer to the guide I`ve shared in my previous post to learn more about our accepted billing methods. Thank you.

~ Goran

Hello Goran,

Thank you for your replies. I think the current provisions limit the opportunity to find work/work on Upwork for many other freelancers like me where we can't even use PayPal services. 

Therefore, I would like to request to the management to allow members to use prepaid virtual cards to buy connects at least.

Best regards,

James Rozario

 

Thank you for your feedback, James, I will share it with our team.
