My direct to bank payment method has been deactivated since my upwork account name does not match the name in my bank account---this is because I previously used my nickname when I created this account.
But I have already edited my details to replace my nickname with my full name here in upwork. Any chance you could have my payment method activated already?
Thank you!

Hi Nikola
Could you please help me with a similar situation, my card name Lucija Zgela is not the same as my account name Lucija Žgela because I can not write the real letter Ž so now it stops me to get paid.
Thank you,

Hi,
Legally, I have a double-barreled surname, but I've only ever used the first part of it. Naturally, I registered my bank account using that shortened name. Passports, of course, display a full legal name, so there is a mismatch. I can't make withdrawals from Upwork because of this discrepancy.
What should I do in this situation?
Thanks,
Jack
Jan 17, 2022 05:31:43 AM by Jude Saddeus G
You have to correct your bank account name. or contact support to correct your Upwork account name.

I can't find on support how to submit a ticket. Recently started my own "agency/company" and wanted to add my bank account to "get paid" section, but I keep getting verification errors because name is mismatched. In the support pages I found info that I need to send some proof of company's ownership and account number, but how and where, because I can not opet the support ticket?
Thanks

Hello,
I've sent my bank account to Upwork, but I'm getting a warning that it doesn't match your name. My name is "Batuhan Üstün" and Upwork allows me to write my name exactly "Batuhan Ustun". It also appears in my bank account as "Batuhan Üstün". Although the days have passed, there has been no return to my side. I also couldn't find anywhere on upwork where I could send an email to support. Also i cant find any solution or starting to live chat by get support button on right corner. I can't contact Upwork. What should I do in this case?
Thanks

Hi there, I just want to ask how to fix this issue?

[SOLVED] Thanks guys, just received confirmation that my bank account was approved!
Hi Upwork, and community.
I have precisely the same problem. I've been using the same bank account since I opened my Upwork account five years ago. I haven't changed anything, but suddenly I got this notification too.
My Upwork account name and bank account name match.
Tried contacting support agent on the chat, but I got no response. Can you help?

Jan 18, 2022 08:09:07 AM by Sten D
Hi,
I am having a problem with the name mismatch and I cannot withdraw my money. My legal name is Stanislav, but my profile name is Sten which is a common name variation like Bill/William, Margaret/Peggy, Jim/James, Chuck/Charles, etc. Everyone including my clients knows me as Sten. I use my formal longer name only in the bank.
When I was verifying my account and showing my ID, the Upwork team member said that there is no problem of using my shorter version of the name on my profile, so I guess I need a manually name verification from the support team.
Can you please help me in resolving this issue?
Jan 18, 2022 11:36:15 AM by Andrea G
Hi Sten,
The name mismatch on your account has been cleared!
