Hi Muhammad Anas,

 

You can only use any bank account that's in your name or is a joint account that has your name on it as a withdrawal method. As long as it matches the name on your profile (your name,) you should be okay. If your brother's account is only on his name, you won't be able to use it as your withdrawal method on your Upwork account!

 

One of our team members will reach out to you directly via a support ticket to further advise you regarding your specific case.

 

Thank you!

Hi Bojan

Thanks for your response. I get that what you are saying but my question is based on 2 points.

1- My account identity was questioned and on that popup it was mentioned, my brother's name and asked to provide ID card having that name(mentioned on that popup of identity verification). and i am unable to understand this. even though I provided the ID card image of my brothers on this very profile as it was asked in that popup.

2- My bank account has the same name as that of my profile name but still there is a beneficiary mismatch name issue being visible on my GET PAID tab. Does it has to do with that identity name thing cause on identity it showed my brother's name?

Need guidance in that regard

Thanks
