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!

Question, if my payment method on Upwork was paypal would waiting days be
the same?

[#6]

Hi Kara,

In most cases, your payment transfers immediately using Paypal. However, there are occasions when it may take up to 24 hours. If it has been more than 24 hours, you will have to contact PayPal.

Thank you.

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 Fullname as per passport when I created this account. But the Account in My Bank uses My Initials  Any chance you could have my payment method activated already? Thank you! I can provide my Bank statement for the proof and passport copy for the proof of having different naming formats. Kindly approve my bank addition so that I can get my payments.

The system states that my name on PayPal does not coincide with the name of the account on Upwork, which is a mistake because my name in English is spelled differently everywhere, especially the Russian names, I need your help in accrediting the way of payment for work through my PayPal. Need help in solving this problem please.

I have same problem: PayPal in Russia can use only Russian letters in name, surname. But Upwork require that name should be in English. I write name as it sign in my international passport. I can show it, if you need.

[#18]

I wish you could help me too.

[#19]

Hello, I was assured by your exchange user support employee that my way of paying for work via PayPal will work in 3 days, but it never happened. The problem is my name, as it is Russian and is declined differently in English.

Your payment method is already accepted. You will need to complete the W-8BEN form here to fill in your tax information before you withdraw earnings.

I'm Russian. PayPal in Russia should use only Russian letters in name. But Upwork account should use only Latin letters in name. I try connect PayPal and Upwork occounts, and failed, because my Russian name in PayPal "missmatch" with Upwork name. I have international passport of Russian Federation, where all this names are present. What should I do for revive my PayPal account in Upwork eye?

My name and surname in my local bank in Turkey and my name and surname in Upwork match except for English characters. Other than that, why doesn't my name match? Emin > Emin / AydoGdu > AydoGdu. I cannot communicate well. 😞 😞 😞 😞 😞 :(:
