Beneficiary name is mismatched

[sandee_miranda]

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! I have the same problem!

I tried to fill my Get Paid method but the error "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account. " appeared.

My PayPal account and my Upwork account have the same name. I dont understand what is happening.

Your help will be appreciated!

Hi, My name is Jacqueline Redondo. My payment details is Paypal and the name there is Jacqueline Mariano Redondo and I am getting a prompt saying "The beneficiary name is mismatched". Do I have to change my name to match my Paypal? I am confused. 

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Jacqueline,

Your Upwork name needs to be your full legal name and also needs to match the name on your payment method as well. Thank you.

Hi, so I should change my Upwork name into the name on my Paypal? to match them? can I do that? thanks

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Jacqueline,

Yes you can submit a name change request at any time by going to Settings > Contact Info and updating your name. Thank you.

Hi Rajalingam,

I followed up with the team and the name mismatch was already resolved. However, you need to allow 3 days for the withdrawal method to become active.

Thank you.
