Pay Upwork with Crypto

Upwork charges Connects, membership and client payments by card. An IZIPAY virtual Visa lets freelancers cover them with crypto.

No KYC Ready in ~2 min Works worldwide Apple & Google Pay Top up with any crypto

Freelancers on Upwork pay for Connects to submit proposals and for Freelancer Plus membership, both in dollars by card. Clients funding contracts face the same requirement.

Fund an IZIPAY virtual Visa with crypto and cover Upwork charges without a bank account — useful in exactly the regions where most Upwork freelancers are based.

Don't want a card tied only to Upwork? IZIPAY issues a no-ID crypto card you can top up with crypto and use anywhere Visa works — no bank, no ID, no verification.
