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.
Update:
Hi all,

Hi Hamza,
I checked, and it looks like your card-issuing bank declined the transaction. You may want to contact them directly to check the specific decline error.

Hi Tuba,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please contact your card-issuing bank and ask them why it was rejected? Please also ask them to allow international transactions and remove any restrictions that might be hindering this transaction. Alternatively, if you have other payment methods, you can try using them instead.

Hi Annie, is it allow to buy connect while working as an executive member of an agency? Because I am facing membership error. Thanks

Hi Tuba,
Thank you for reaching out to us. As an exclusive agency member, you work on Upwork only as part of the agency, and as an exclusive member you do not have a individual Connects balance. Feel free to check this help article for more details.

Hi Andrea,
Yes the bank has maintance services today but I also have PayPal account which connected to Upwork and has $300 and there is no charges want to be done on the PayPal as well, I think Upwork charges through the card that connected to PayPal regardless if there is balance in the account, I hope the issue gonna be solved.
Thanks.
