Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the trouble while purchasing Connects. In general, this happens when the transactions you’re attempting on your card keep being declined by the bank. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
If you’re still experiencing issues after checking with your bank, a quick way to contact our support team is by clicking the 'Chat with Upwork' button on the Contact Support page.

I suggest you using any Visa Credit card, this works 100%. The debit cards unable to do transactions on upwork.

Hi Talha,
Thank you for reaching out to us. 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’.
Additionally, you may want to check this help article to see other available methods for purchasing Connects.

Whenever I am trying to attach my mastercard it shows that use another billing method or contact your card issuer. Whereas, I last time bought connects by the same card.
Jul 10, 2022 01:58:55 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Qasim,
This is likely happening because the bank is declining the transaction. Kindly reach out to the bank that issued your card to request more information on why the transaction was declined.
