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,

 

In my case i got the "The beneficiary name is mismatched" message, but the email and name from both my paypal account and upwork are the same. What do I do?

Hi, I'm having a likewise problem; I tried to add my payment method but it got deactivated instantly and was later manually declined, because my name didn't match my payment method. Which is weird because my bank account contains my initials and my last name. I already sent in my ID for the ID verification, which shows those middle names. I retried a week ago but its still in progress.

Hello there, 

I seem to be having a problem with identity verification since it says that my name is mismatched on my bank account and my Upwork account. I am wondering what I can do to fix this.

Thank you so much!

I want to verify my paypal wallet but your site does not allow me to do this

Hi Eugene,

 

In order to make your withdrawal method active and access your earnings, you need to complete the W-8BEN form which is used to confirm you’re not a U.S. taxpayer and that Upwork is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings. You can do that by going to the Settings > Tax Information page.  You can also check this help article for more information.

 

Thank you.

Dear support team,
I have a problem with adding a paying method to my Upwork account. Your website is stating that my payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on my payment method does not match the name on my Upwork account. I'm using a PayPal account for withdrawal money from Upwork. This complaint has to be wrong, because my Upwork name (**Edited for Community Guidelines**) completely matches my PayPal account name (**Edited for Community Guidelines**) and depriving me from withdrawing money simply because my name on PayPal is written in Cyrillic is not a valid reason at all. If I have something else incorrectly formatted in my PayPal account, please inform me.

I have a similar issue, and names and messages on the two records are totally indistinguishable. What amount of time will it require to survey?

Are you trying to add a billing method or a payment method? Could you also share the text of the error you`re receiving on your end? Thank you.

Hi, I changed my name into my real name, since what I am using in here in upwork was my father's surname. But since my birth certificate was not yet settled I am currently using my Mom's maiden name. Please help me fix it since I have clients and I can't withdraw my funds. Thank you
