Solved: Charge Failed - Page 3

Andrea G · ‎01-11-2022

Hi, Upwork can't accept my credit card for some reason, it keeps on declining it.

Andrea G · ‎01-11-2022

Hi Hassan

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, you can contact support by:

Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
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.
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.

I'm having the same issue -- it says my account is being reviewed for 2 days? I've had my payment included in my account for a month, not sure why it's doing this now.

Hi team UpWork,

My billing method says "Charge failed". And one of my hires messaged me "This client's account is on a temporary hold. Once the issue is resolved, you can accept their offer." Can you help? What should I do?

Goran V · ‎01-27-2022

Hi Tuyen,

One of our team members will reach out to you via ticket as soon as possible and will assist you further with your account. Thank you.

Hi, I have same issue

Joanne P · ‎02-11-2022

Hi Katrina,

I checked and it looks like the transaction has been declined. You may want to reach out to your card issuing bank so that they can check on the specific decline error. In the meantime, you may add a different payment method instead.

Can I use my paypal in payment?

Pradeep H · ‎02-12-2022

Hi Katrina,

Yes, you can even use Paypal as your payment or billing method.

Thank you

Pradeep

Katrina L · ‎02-13-2022

How can I use paypal? In the option in billing has no paypal.

Pradeep H · ‎02-13-2022

Hi Katrina,

Apologies for the confusion. I checked and it looks like Paypal is not available as a billing method in your country. You can check this link for available payment methods on your Upwork account.

Thank you

Pradeep

Angeline S · ‎07-11-2021

I need help with my billing method. I have an active card with sufficient balance to pay for my transactions but it always says "Charge Failed". I was supposed to hire someone. How can I fix this?

Pradeep H · ‎07-11-2021

Hello Angeline,

Thank you for contacting us. I see that your transaction was declined due to the limit on your card. Please contact your bank or try again using another card.

Thank you.

Pradeep.

Angeline S · ‎07-12-2021

I already increased the limit of my bank account but still doesn't work.

Goran V · ‎07-12-2021

Hi Angeline,

I checked your account and I can see that you have withdrawn your funds 2 days ago. Please keep in mind that It can take up to four business days to arrive at your bank. If you have not received the funds after 8 business days let us know, and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you!

~ Goran

Angeline S · ‎07-12-2021

Hi Goran,

I actually have two concerns, but yeah I can see that Upwork just processed my withdrawal as of this moment. My other concern that hasn't been resolved yet is that I cant use my card to hire a freelancer on my client account. It keeps saying Charged Failed.

Bojana R · ‎12-07-2021

Bojan S · ‎12-07-2021
