Beneficiary name is mismatched

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!

Hello, thanks for the answer.

I already has payment method with the same name ("IP Shishkin Dmitriy Ivanovich").
My name is: "Dmitriy Shishkin"
But bank accounts requring: "IP Shishkin Dmitriy Ivanovich"

Shishkin - surname
Dmitriy - name
Ivanovich - patronymic
IP - “company prefix” in the Russia like LTD

Upwork requested the account verification with statement from the bank. Instead of to verify peyment method. Why if I already verified by the video. Feels very unfrendly. I need to verify payment method asap because now is end of month and bank has monthy limits.

I submitted ID photo and some statement from the bank.

Hi Dmitriy,

 

Thank you for your message. I am pleased to inform you that your payment methods are accepted and will be active in 3 days.

 

Thank you

Hello Upwork Team.
I need to link my company bank account to my Upwork profile. I have done so, however it was refused due to a name mismatch.
So I went to help doc and discovered that I could provide additional information about this company's bank account in order for it to be approved.
Please help me with that, as I'm the owner of the mentioned company and can provide all the supporting documents.
I have attempted chat support, but it is full of auto-responses with no further request escalation to an agent.

Hi Gaurav,

 

I can see that you already have an open ticket regarding this issue. I have followed up with the team, and one of our agents will update your ticket and assist you further.

Hello,

I'm having a problem with payment. I have a beneficiary name mismatched warning in my profile for 4 months at least. It says that they will review in 3 days but nothing is happening. Also, I have had withdrawal before and there was no problem that time.

The main problem is with the Upwork my name is FirstName-Surname but on my bank account Surname-FirstName. Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

Hi Serhan,

 

Our team will update your payment method shortly and you will be able to use your payment method. Thank you.

Thank you, have a good day!

I'm glad the name mismatch is fixed. I have had my Paypal attached here for years. I wait the 5 days, now another 3 (no fault of mine), and my electric will be shut off on the 27th, and they release on the 28th. What to do now ?

Hi, 

My full name is Hilal Genç. It includes a Turkish character "ç". I cannot enter my full name into the "Account Holder Bank Information" section because Turkish characters are not allowed. So I get this notification: "Payment method verification in progress. Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."

Hi, I have a very specific issue. Upwork says the beneficiary of my bank account doesn't match my name on Upwork, but it does and it always has. I've been using this bank account with Upwork for quite a while, so I'm not sure why they disabled it. The FAQ isn't helpful in my case and neither is the bot, and I really need to get my money out of Upwork because this is my only source of income. I can't find any other way to contact Upwork so I'm trying my luck here. Please help!

Hi Maria,

 

Your payment method is now updated and you can withdraw your funds. Thank you.

Hello,

 

My direct to bank payment method has been deactivated since my upwork account name does not match the name in my bank account but i always use my real name. I think there is a problem about my surname because it contains "ş" but you do not allow me to enter "ş"

Hi Utku,

I tried to get paid but it said that the name on my account and the one on my bank account are not the same but it's not true because I've been paid before and I've never had this problem and the names match. I need help!

Hi! I'm just trying to add another one payment method in my account and after adding I have the error "The beneficiary name is mismatched." But I have already checked the name twice, it's completely correct. Could you please help me with this? Thanks!

Hi Anastasia,

 

The issue with the name mismatch should now be cleared. Please, allow for the standard 3-day security period to pass and your payment method should be ready to use.

Hello! After more than 1 year using the same bank account, now I'm having issues with my payment method. They say there's a mismatch in the names, but the names are the same, or is there a problem that in my bank I have my full name (Maria Alejandra Medina Medina), and in my Upwork account the name is Maria Medina (for me it's the same). Please can you help me with this issue??

Hi Maria,

 

I'd like to confirm that this has been fixed already. Thanks!

My full name is "Kadir Burak Baynazı", and I am trying to add payment method and it says Beneficiary name is mismatched and now it is restricted. Maybe I should write my name like "Kadir Burak Baynazi"?  I tried different things but can't fix this. Can you help?
