Hi Hassan

 

In general, this happens when the transactions youโ€™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 youโ€™re still experiencing issues after checking with your bank, you can contact support by:

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the โ€˜Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select โ€˜Sendโ€™. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Fast sollution: use Paypal. It works good in many cases.

Slow: contact support to check whats wrong with your card.

I've already tried using another bank card, but no luck - same issue. Any idea what's going on? This project is super important to me right now, so any help ASAP would be awesome.

Hi Daniel,

 

I looked closely, and It appears your bank is declining the transaction you're trying to process. Have you tried contacting your card-issuing bank for more information about these transactions? Additionally, please click on my name and send me a PM with screenshots of the charges you're referring to. We'll surely have that reviewed and assist you accordingly.

I'm trying to hire a freelancer, but I'm getting the following error:

Sorry, we couldn't charge the billing method you selected. Please try a different one. If you still need help, contact customer support.

I entered all Master card information correctly.
I deposited $100 onto my Master Card.
I ask for your help.

I used to use wise card to pay, but upwork fails to accept wise card payments.

And there is no way to solve this problem with chatbot, in addition, I couldn't submit a ticket.

Please reach out to me and help me to solve this problem.

Many thanks.

Hi Elson,

 

I'm sorry you're having difficulties setting up a contract with your cards as a billing method. Generally, this happens when the bank keeps declining transactions you're attempting on your card. Kindly contact your card-issuing bank to inquire about the specific charge decline. If the issue persists afterward, we'll be happy to assist.

 

For more details about these billing method options, you may visit this help article.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried to contact my card-issuing bank, but there is no issue.

Seems like there is platform issue, could you kindly help me to resolve this?

I tried to fulfill a contract from a freelancer but kept receiving the following two error messages when trying to process payment:

  • โ€œUnfortunately your browser or extension are preventing us from updating payment information. Please try to change browser or disable all browser extensionsโ€.
  • "Payment disabled"

Disabling all browser extensions and using different browsers (Safari and Chrome) did not work. Chat Support was not helpful. Though it looks like the payment was unsuccessful and the contract status is not updating, my credit card has been charged multiple times.

 

Please create a support ticket and assign a support agent to follow up on this issue urgently.
