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!

Hi there,I just filled my wire transfer information and there is a mismatch in names.For upwork profile I used "Matt" as my first name because it's recognized name variation of "Matevos".I read a post which states you can manually approve my payment profile if I used a recognized name variation.Thank you.

My name is Abdel Halim **Edited for Community Guidelines**
But I write it in two ways
First.
Abdelhalim **Edited for Community Guidelines**
And the second
Abdel Halim **Edited for Community Guidelines**
one with space and one with out space
so when i attach paypal to upwork
the name dosn't match

 

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

Hi Abdelhalim,

 

To set up payment to your bank or payment account, you must be listed as an account holder or authorized signer on that account, or demonstrate that you are authorized by the business to do so. The listed name on the account must match your verified name on Upwork. 

 

I suggest that you allow up to 24 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch. They'll let you know if any further steps are required from you.

 

Thank you.

Hello, 

I am new to Upwork, i created my profile long time ago but came to upwork back recently.
The name which I used is my Nick name , and the same thing has happened, I have real happy clients who wish to work with me and I am working nights ! 

 

When I went to upload the bank details the Sir name does not matches.

My profile also has a blue tick near the name showing that I verified my IDs and Visuals as well.

 

I am really worried,It says the name does not matches.
I have also applied to change my Sir Name on Upwork.

It is a request could you please please please look for this, I am really worried! 
And if it will take days to resolve I will have no work to do ! 

Please help ! 

Hi Pramil,

 

I checked and it looks like your payment method is active and you should be able to use it. Could you please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you are still seeing name mismatch notification on your end? 

 

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello I am facing the same problem regarding the name mismatch. Can you please do the needful.?

Hi Tanisha,

 

Thank you for your message. It looks like you have added a payment method that is completely different from your verified name on Upwork. Please note that you need to have a payment method that matches your verified name on Upwork. Our team has already notified you on the same on your registered email address as well.

 

Thank you.

I have had the same problem with my payment method and my account name. Actually I've used this method at least three times before and I had no trouble at all. Now I can't withdraw because of 'The beneficiary name is mismatched' error. I'd appreciate it, If you can help me with that. 

Hi Percem,

 

Your name mismatch has been cleared.

Hi there, I'm having the same problem. I actually took a break since last year, but nothing changed to my profile. I used to withdraw my balance successfully before without any problem, now I added a new bank account with new account number that I just opened last year it's still the same. I thought the problem is my old bank account because that was my old payroll account few years ago. Can somebody help me about this?

Hi Jared Joshua,

 

This should now be fixed. Thanks!
