Beneficiary name is mismatched

[#1]

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 also experience the same issue with Carlos. On my account, I am using Camille Gueco-Torres and on my card (bank account), my name is Camille G Torres which is just the initial of my middle name. Can you also help me with this?

Dear Sir, 

I have the same issue than the Freelancer above. I have the not "The beneficiary name is mismatched" but my Upwork account, and my paypak / or bank account are strictly the same name. Could you please check my case ?

Thank you

Hi Gregory,

I checked but don't see any mismatch error on your payment method. Please keep in mind any new payment method will become available after 3 days.

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply. You are correct, I don’t have the “mismatch” error message anymore.

But I have another question. I can see my balance is $0,00, but I actually completed my first job yesterday, and got paid 100$.

Why the 100$ does not appear in the balance ? Shall I just wait ?

Many thanks for your answer,

Gregory

Gregory, when your client releases a milestone or final payment on a fixed-price job, it immediately shows as pending on your financial account. Pending payments become available for you to withdraw after the standard five-day security period. You can check this in Reports > Overview.

Great, thank you for your answer. Well appreciated.

Hi, I setup my payment method today and it says the name on my bank account mismatched. The name on my bank account is just the same with my upwork name. I don't know why I'm getting this error.

Please, allow up to 48 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch. They’ll let you know if any further steps are required from you.

Hello,
I have the problem that my beneficiary name is mismatched although there is written the same.
I didn't had this problem before and I never changed anything.
