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!

Hi Raaid,

 

I checked with the team and you should be all set now. Your name change was approved and the name mismatch on your payment method resolved. You just need to allow 3 days for the withdrawal method to become active. Let us know if you need further help.

 

Thank you.

Hi! I’m getting the same error. Please help.

Hi Dennell, 


I checked your account, and it looks like you recently added a payment method to your account.  Please know that it takes about 48 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch. They’ll tell you if any further steps are required from you.

May I know if my bank details are correct? Coz I’m not sure why it’s
showing as mismatched.

I'm sorry, but I will not be able to confirm that information, Dennell, because this information is encrypted. 

Please know that this is a standard process and should be resolved after 48 hours. If there are issues, you will receive an email support ticket with more information. 

Hopefully, there will be no issues once the review is complete.

Hi. I have the same problem. I need to do manual verification. 

Hi Red,

 

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.

 

You can update your name by going to Settings and using the edit button. If your name variation is not acceptable, our agent will advise you directly about mismatch on your documents and suggest editing your Upwork profile name to match your legal name. 

 

Thank you.
