Unable to add/use payment method

[#1]

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

[#2]

I'm still getting this error message despite checking in with my bank and verifying that there is no issue with insufficient funds as many of the Upwork support staff mentioned in other forum discussions.

I've alsp updated my address and phone number as they've also stated but nothing has changed. And yes, cleared cache too.

I've also sent a long and detailed email to what was their former support email, only to receive and automated response with FAQs.

Can someone please get me in touch with an actual support staff? I really need to hire a freelancer

Hello,

I have tried different payment methods to create a contract but all the billing methods say "charge failed". I have been attempting with visa cards, masters cards and PayPal, all of them have enough money in there to withdraw but all of them say "charge failed". This is getting annoying especially because I already made contracts in the past and everything went fine.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

Hi Flavio,

I checked your account and it looks like the transaction has been declined by your card-issuing bank. You may 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 "Get Support" button that is shown on this page.

Hi Melissa,

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.

I can see that you've raised a ticket about your concern. You can also expect an update from the team on that ticket and don't hesitate to communicate if you have additional questions.

Hello,

What happend to Upwork live support? I click "Get support" and it just sends me to various pages with answers already listed.

My account is locked with "Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support."

Financial transactions for your company have been limited. Please check your email for additional information or contact customer support.

This message does not help. Where did Upwork support go? Is it only a public forum post now?

[#15]

Hi Stephen,

I'll have one of the support team members review your concern and assist you further via a support ticket. Please expect an update on this page with your ticket. Thank you!

I have entered my card details correctly but it will not save. The verification code and expiration details are flagged red but they are entered correctly. 

How can I resolve this? 

I am using a business debit card (mastercard).

Thanks

Hi Irene,

I checked and it looks like you were able to add a billing method to your account. Could you please confirm if you still need assistance?

[#20]

To be honest, the support team here in upwork is filled with **bleep** or looks like it's all bot. None of them try understand the issue of clients. I've been trying to update my card since 3 days and only message I receive is, Your bank was unable to verify your information. Please contact them and try again.  They are not ready to accept that it's their own flaw and not at all ready to resolve it. I suggest you guys to leave upwork and go to fiverr. It's much better than upwork. I'm about to close my account here and will never deal with upwork. Waste and worst platform.

Hey, this is an emergency. We need this fixed ASAP.

We are a company and we need to pay our freelancers. We added a new credit card to our Billing method. And when I process the payment it says the following:

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

And when I click on Contact support, it says the following: 
"Due to the increase in the volume of ID verification submissions, there will be a delay of up to 5 days. We greatly appreciate your patience while our teams review the documents."

We need this issue fixed ASAP. Our freelancers cant wait this long. 
Thank you

Hello I believe im experiencing technical issues. I have tried to upload my billing info with multiple debit and credit cards and no luck. It marks as the month and year are not correct but ive triple checked and it is. All my cards are in good standing just seems like the site isnt saving when i input. Also made a paypal account verified it and all that pops out is that the paypal account hasnt been verified.
