Bank Account Name Mismatch

Hi, After setting up payment method, I received the following message:

"Due to our updated identity policy, at least one of your payment methods has been deactivated as the beneficiary name of the bank account does not match your name."

 

I am using my conmpany bank account, and the name is is different with mine. According to FAQ in that case:

  • You are using a company bank account – To complete verification you may need to provide personal identification as well as one of the following:
    • An original bank statement showing the company name, as well as your name
    • A business license showing your name and the company name
    • Articles of Incorporation showing the company name with you as an authorized agent/owner

Anyone knows how to provide upwork with the above documents?

Good day Alexander,

The name in my bank Account is different from that in my Passport because i used my spouse's name in opening the account. However, I have an affidavit attesting to the change in Name. Where do i upload the documents to regularise this.

I just switched banks and now the same thing happened. Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account. I don't see any tickets open for this issue under my account and I would appreciate some help with it if possible. Thank you!

Hi Cristian,

 

Please allow up to 4 business days for the payment method to clear. The team will reach out to you directly if any clarification is needed from your end.
