Hi Ani,

It looks like the bank has declined the transaction. I would suggest checking with your bank for more information on that.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksander,

I spoke to my bank and apparently upwork was trying to charge me $856 for a $600 project and the balance wasnt in the account. Can i please be told why i am being charged significantly more than needed?

Thanks 

Ani

[AleksandarD]

Hi Ani,

Please remember that prices on Upwork are always in U.S. Dollars (USD). Only the billing to your card will be converted to your local currency which is exactly what happened. So, the amount is showing higher as it's in your local currency. To change your preferred currency and to learn more about it, you can check this help article.

You may also want to know that clients are charged a 3% payment processing and administration fee on all payments. For more information, you can refer to this article.

Thank you.

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?

Hi, I have same issue

[JoanneP]

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. 

[50673bc5]

Can I use my paypal  in payment? 

[PradeepH]

Hi Katrina,

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

Thank you

Pradeep

[50673bc5]

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

[PradeepH]

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

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?

[PradeepH]

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.

[94ec841c]

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

[g_vasilevski]

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!

[94ec841c]

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. 

[7dee9e1b]

I have the same problem at the moment...

Hello I have the same problem about the billing method they tell me charge failed

[NikolaS]

Hi Salim,

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’.

[ibrott]

Hey Goran,

I'm having this problema with my clients, all their cards get rejected.
