Hi Lisette,

The bank account you linked is for withdrawing your funds after getting paid. You must add a billing method to buy Connects, which can be a PayPal account or a credit or debit card. You won't be able to use your bank account as a billing method. Feel free to check this article for more information.

Hi luiggi, It's been 2 days already and i still cant submit proposals due to my connects. I want to buy connects but I tried already to add my billing method but still it didnt work. Whenever I was redirected to my bank and was able to provide my OTP, after that it was back to then billing method again and I need to fill in again my bank account. It keeps on getting back from the start after being redirected to back and after I provide the OTP. What is the problem? Please help me with this because i really need to buy connects and submit a proposal.

Hi Arun,

I checked the transaction in your account and found that it has been declined. Please get in touch with your card-issuing bank so that they can look into the specific decline error.

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for your swift response.

I've used the same debit card on various platforms like Amazon, Myntra, Paytm, and Zomato without encountering any issues. It initially worked on Upwork a couple of times, but then stopped. Given that it's only an issue on Upwork and I've had successful transactions in the past, I don't believe it's a bank-related problem.

Could you please provide further guidance on resolving this matter?

Thanks,
Arun

I tried Visa (Derbit card)

Still get an issue 

"You have not set up any billing methods yet.

Your billing method will be charged only when your available balance from Upwork earnings is not sufficient to pay for your monthly membership and/or Connects."

Hi Jignesh, 

It looks like your previous billing method was declined. You can try adding a different billing method to your account to be able to purchase Connects. Kindly also refer to the email support ticket that the team sent you for more information about your concern.
