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,
Good day to all.I'm from Sri Lanka and I added my local bank details to get my funds transfered to my bank account. I added my benificiary name with Initials **Edited for Community Guidelines** while my upwork account contains only first and last name (Pasindu **Edited for Community Guidelines**) which I normally use, Due to this mismatch they have asked for Identity verifivation and our government ID comes in local language (sinhala) also it does not cantain an expiriy date, So I cannot submit my ID for verification. What is the best way to solve this matter?
Looking forward for help
Thank You

Hello!
Please help me solve th proplem with "The beneficiary name is mismathed".
I am trying to connect PayPal to receive payments, but this error appears.
In PayPal, my name is written in Russian, which is probably why this error appears.
Please help to solve this problem

Hello I'm José
I've been having issues with my paypal account it's verified with my name José **Edited for Community Guidelines**but here in Uphold i have the same name so i don't know why it's telling me that The beneficiary name is mismatched.
What do i need to do? i waited more than 3 days, deleted the account and added it again but with no avail.
I'll appreciate your help
Thanks.
May 15, 2021 09:02:19 AM by Luiggi R
Hi José,
I checked and it looks like the name mismatch was already cleared. Since you recently re-added your payment method, it's currently under verification now and should become active in three days. You can check this by going to Settings> Get paid and find the date that's right below your preferred payment method. You can check this help article to learn more.

Hi! I got a beneficiary name mismatched notification when I added my PayPal account. My surname is Cañete and I noticed that as I fill up my profile, you do not allow us to use "ñ" and I think that could be the problem since I used "ñ" in my Paypal. Please Help me. Thank you.
May 16, 2021 07:27:58 PM by Pradeep H
Hello Jokshan,
I see that your beneficiary name is already approved on your Upwork account. In order to withdraw earnings, please complete a W8BEN Foreign Status Certification. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Hi!
My Paypal was rejected here with the notion that the beneficiary name on Paypal is not matching the profile name here on Upwork. The thing is it does match, but:
a. in Paypal my name is written in Russian, while in Upwork it's in English;
b. my paypal.me/ link has my maiden name in it since the account was created before I got married. After I got married, I've changed my personal information, but the paypal.me/ link is not subject to change according to Paypal rules.
Can any of the above be the reason why it doesn't get verified?
Thanks in advance.
May 17, 2021 05:37:59 AM by Goran V
Hi Irina,
Please be patient for up to 72 hours for the review on your payment method to be finished. If you're still experiencing any problems after this, feel free to follow up here and I will assist you further. Thank you.
May 17, 2021 06:28:35 AM by Irina A
It's not that I've just added my payment account. The problem is that it's been rejected 2 times already, that's why I started looking for the reasons and other options. Payoneer is not functioning in my country, my only option is Paypal, so I'm trying to figure out my next step.
May 17, 2021 06:34:50 AM by Aleksandar D
Hi Irina,
I checked with the team and the name mismatch has already been resolved. However, you need to allow 3 days since you added the payment method in order for it to become active. Let us know if you need further help.

Having a hard time getting paid because my new married name does not match my name on the bank account or paypal. Is there a quick way to move forward here? I do not understand why the names need to match completely for me to be verified. Why does this matter. Please help.
