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 Sir, 

My Upwork profile name and local bank account name are the same. I withdrew payment twice before. But today I saw my payment method is deactivated because my beneficiary name is mismatched. While I didn't change anything on my Upwork as well as my bank account. 

Can you help me, please?

Thanks!

Hi Dmain, 

 

I can confirm that there is indeed a name mismatch with the name of your bank account and your Upwork account. This will go through a manual review within 24 to 48-hours. If you don't hear back then, you can come back here, and update this thread, and our team will assist you further.

My nickname is Dmain G on Gmail, it reflected on Upwork as my user name sitting right on my profile. My name is Solution Uwadiae Bayo. What should I do to rectify this issue?

Hi Dmain,

 

You can update your name by going to Settings and using the edit button. If your name variation is not acceptable, our agent will advise you directly about mismatch on your documents and suggest editing your Upwork profile name to match your legal name. 

 

Thank you.

Hello! I tried updating my name from Dmain G (Nick Name), to my name Solution Uwadiae Bayo. It was denied. I got a mail asking me to request for a manual review. I replied the mail as directed asking for a manual review. I am yet to any updates from Upwork.

Hi. I have a similar problem. I would like to change the financial name from Ivan Kolesnik to Ivan Koliesnik, because I made a mistake when spelling.

 

I will be glad if you help me. Thank you.

Hello Ivan
In your profile if you correct the name then it's okay. Then upwork will deposit two small amounts in your given bank account information and upwork will send you an email to verify those two deposit information once you verify your bank account using the two small deposits, your bank account will be updated to the name which is currently showing in your bank information.

Hi team, 

 

Adding a manual name review request. Please let me know if an identification verification will be necessary (https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211067788-What-documents-are-acceptable-for-ID-Verifica...) as I'm requesting to change my account name to Ashok **edited for Community Guidelines** from Ashok **edited for Community Guidelines** (which is actually my middle name, and not on the bank acct.)

 

Thanks for your attention!

Ashok
