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,

I have the payment method deactivated because the beneficiary name does not match the name on your Upwork account.

 

It is true, my name in PayPal is different ..... it is a name+nick name and I can't change it.
How can you help me?

I need help, I have the same problem!

 I cannot receive my payment because it says that the accounts have different names. This is not the case, they both have the same name and I am the owner. I have been paid perfectly for 6 months.

I await for an answer

Hi Tomas, 

 

I checked with the team and they have confirmed that it should be fixed now. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I've been paid every week for 3 years and this week I'm alerted in the payments section that my beneficiary name is mismatched. How can I solve this issue ASAP?

Hi Andrea,

 

Thank you for the update, but I don't see the submitted support ticket in the list of tickets at https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests and I have not received any emails, and it causes double confusion.

Hello!
Can you please help me with my issue regarding my payment method being deactivated "because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account"?
I used Direct to Local Bank transfer to this card for years without a problem.

I don't think the issue is with the special character in my last name ("ć", commonly written as "c" like in my Upwork name), but nothing else comes to mind.

Note: I am using Direct to Local Bank transfer to bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am not residing there currently, but I didn't feel the need to change it as the card in question is a MasterCard.

Please help!
Kind regards,
Isidora

After more than a year of regular withdrawals, suddenly, today I have this issue. 

 

Raised a ticket but the ticket wont show up on the ticket list. (which, sort of makes it even more scary. I have never scene a ticket not showing up in the ticket dashboard)

 

Ticket Number - 33211963

 

What is the next step?

Update : (I am panicking, because Saturdays is when I usually withdraw, so created another ticket, 33212032, and that also is not showing up. I cannot search for it. There is no email confirmation that the ticket was created. 😞 )
