Action Needed for Freelancers to Update PayPal info

[Alejandro H]

What can we do in this case? Happened the same to me

[Emil H]

Hi,

I am receiving all my payments via my bank account. What happens if I do not link a PayPal account?

[Paul M]

did you just get an email saying you need to link your Paypal account?

I think it's a scam! the address looks dodgy

[Dana S]

I got the same email, but i already used paypall many times. Can anyone confirm the request is legit? And what does it mean exactly ?

[Rini M]

Same, my name matches with Upwork verified name. But not sure why Upwork added one extra font in my first name that makes it not match and not sure where to change it as my name is the same in PayPal.

[Debora F]

I have exactly the same situation. "Name doesn´t match"...It matches and is the same name for the last 10 years I work through Upwork (ex Elance)

Oh my! That's scary!

Michelle and others,

I can confirm that the email you've received is indeed from Upwork and I've just merged your posts to the official announcment. When you originally added PayPal, you were not required to link your account with Upwork. To help ensure the safe transfer of your funds, we now need you to connect your PayPal account with Upwork.
