As a freelancer on UpWork, you have the option to pay for membership and Connects with either your bank account or UpWork Balance. If you have funds available in your UpWork Balance, you may be wondering if you can use those funds to purchase Connects.

The answer is yes! You can absolutely use your UpWork Balance to buy Connects.

In fact, using your UpWork Balance to pay for Connects is one of the best ways to get the most out of your freelancing career on UpWork.

PRO TIP: If you use your Upwork balance to buy Connects, any unused Connects will expire 60 days after they are purchased.

When you purchase Connects with your UpWork Balance, you’re essentially getting a discount on those Connects. That’s because when you use your bank account to pay for Connects, UpWork charges a processing fee.

But when you use your UpWork Balance, that processing fee is waived.

Not only that, but when you have funds in your UpWork Balance, you can always be sure that those funds will be available to you when you need them. If you’re ever in a situation where you need to purchase more Connects but don’t have the funds readily available in your bank account, using your UpWork Balance is a great way to make sure you can still get the work done that you need to.

To sum it up, using your UpWork Balance to buy Connects is a great way to save money and make sure you always have the funds available when you need them. So if you have any funds sitting in your UpWork Balance, put them to good use and purchase some Connects today!
