Payment method not verified for TransferWise corporate checking account

[northbound-digtl]

I have an error msg, "beneficiary name of the bank account does not match your name"

My corporate checking account is TransferWise and I am using my Agency name as the account holder.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Fabian,

Please know that Transferwise is currently not supported as a payment method on Upwork. You can check other available options by going to your Get Paid page (Settings > Get Paid), and clicking on the "Add method" button. 

You may also refer to this help article for more information on what payment methods are supported on Upwork. 

Thank you.

Hi Upwork Support Team,

I am an independent freelancer working from Canada and I want to know can I link my corporation bank account as my default bank account in Upwork?

Also, should the name of my corporation be same as my verified name on upwork profile or corporation name could be anything?

Thanks

Hi Sukhpreet,

To use any payment method to withdraw funds from your Upwork account, you must be listed as an account holder or authorized signer on that account. If there's any need for verification, the team would reach out to you directly to further assist you. You can check this help article to learn more.

Hi! I am having the same problem here. I've changed my account name already to match my TransferWise account for my payment method but I can see that my verified name is still not changed. Hope someone can help! Thanks 🙂

Hi, my payment system does not verify (Payoner, PayPal) informing me that the name of the cardholder does not match the name of the account holder. Everything is listed the same, help me solve the problem.
