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!

Thank you for your prompt response.
I added again the same one because the last one was shown as declined for
the reason above. Thank you for all the help, really appreciated it.

Hello Bojan, can you check my account too please? I've got the same message, but my bank account's name and the one from my Upwork's account are the same.

I'm having the same issue... my name is exactly the same across everything but it's saying there's a mismatch. I can't afford to wait 3 days

Hello,

My payment method got deactivated after more than a year of using it. I am using my legal name on my Upwork profile and bank account. This is the same name that appears on my government issued ID which I submitted for name verification last year. Upon checking my contract with my client, it shows that there is a typographical error with my verified name. How do I request for a review or update on my verified name? Thank you.

Hi,

I deleted my paypal account by mistake, I tried to place the same account and the message came out: "The beneficiary name is mistmatched".

I wanted to delete the account because I have two paypal accounts.

Can I change the account to another with another email address?

 

For now I put the one that I have always used. How can the problem fixed?

 

Thanks.

Best regards.
