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!

I've recently noticed that I cannot get paid due to the beneficiary name in my bank account being different from what I've put in Upwork.

The FAQ in the help section isn't very helpful in this case, as I cannot see what's exactly wrong.

I was looking for a way to open a ticket to get direct help but cannot find a way to do so. How could I reach out to support in order to sort this out?

Hi Raul,

 

I would be happy to help. I shared your concern with the team handling your case and your name mismatch is now approved. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

I receive this message on my payments page: Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.
 
But it's not true, both these names are the same. The only thing I can think of is the mandatory use of the Latin letter i in the Upwork name (Anil of Seda Anil Ertekin), whereas my name in my payment method has to be without the Latin letter conversion (you'll probably not be able to see it properly here): Anıl of Seda Anıl Ertekin. 
 
Can anyone pls help with this?
 
Thank you

Hi Seda,

I can see you were able to submit a support ticket with our team regarding this. Please allow some time for our team to review and they will update you directly via ticket as soon as possible.

Hi Andrea, 

 

No, I haven't submitted a support ticket about this. The only valid support ticket in the link you provided is the message informing me that my ID could not be verified (and obviously I haven't submitted this ticket, it's just a message from you), and that I should send a colored ID, which I did. And when I checked the website again later on my ID appeared to be verified. But this was a completely different problem.

My "beneficiary name not matching the Upwork name" issue still hasn't been resolved, and on top of that all of my available Connects seem erased at the moment, and my Saved Job search is not available. It looks as if my Account is somewhat disabled.

 

This is really confusing. If I can receive some help that would be great.

Seda, apologies for the confusion. I can confirm the team has received the ticket you've submitted, it will show on this page once they reply. Regarding the rest of the issues you're experiencing, please refer to this thread.

I have been on Upwork for years and always used the same Paypal account. My name has not changed. My bank account is also thru Paypal. I have no physical bank, so instant pay won't accept my debit card. I needed that money on the 27th for an electric bill shutoff notice.

 

I go to withdraw after waiting 5 days, the I see my Paypal is deactivated , I try to reactive and sadly have to wait another 3 days, and it comes back a mismatch. How will I ever get paid ?

Hi Kathleen,

 

I've followed up with our team and your beneficiary name has been approved.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

I get the "The beneficiary name is mismatched" and the payment method is deactivated, but my name on the bank account is the same as on Upwork - Marin Bencic. My ID name is Marin Benčić but Upwork does not support the format č and ć, so I wrote c , I dont know if thats the problem, but how should I write those letters if they are not suported if thats the problem?

Regards,

Marin

Hi,

I get the " The beneficiary name is mismatched", but it is not, on my bank account I have the same name as on my Upwork account and I am not sure what seems to be the problem?

Regards! Marin

Same problem here, but nothing has changed in 7 years. My electric will be shut off on the 27th, because of money stuck in my account. I already waited 5 days, now this. I put in a ticket, but I don't see it.

The beneficiary name is mismatched

I use my english name . but in my bank I use my chinese name.I have change my name into my chinese name , will this solve my problem?

Hi Alice,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked with the relevant team and they are unable to accept your payment method as your name on the payment method does not match with the verified name. Could you please try adding your payment method with the verified name?

 

Thank you
