Beneficiary name is mismatched

[sandee_miranda]

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!

I have the same problem? Why all of a sudden? Been using my bank account since 2019, it's my first time encountering this matter and I've never changed my name on upwork.

Hello,

Although I have the same payment method since my account was created, I am seeing this error message attached below

I can confirm my name on payment method and Upwork account are exactly the same.

Any solution?

Hi, 

Suddenly, I receive a message from Upwork

"Payment method verification in progress
Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."

But I know, My Bank account name and Upwork account name as the same. Also, I have been transferring money from Upwork to my bank account for 4 years.

So what will happen now?

Hello,

I also have the same problem

I had verified my ID and Selfie and my account name is correct but i am still getting an error(The beneficial name is mismatched)

My actual surname is "Ateş" and i have wrote as "Ates" because "ş" was a special character. I think the reason of this problem is my surname.

Can you help me to solve my problem?

Thanks

Hello!  I am new to upwork and having issues with setting up my ACH direct.  For over 15 years, I've had my bank accounts set up as Ly Nguyen or Ly T. Nguyen since this is the name I go by.  I use this name on my profiles for everything since it's easier to pronounce etc. My driver's license has my complete birth name listed a Ly Huong Thi Nguyen - this is not the name I use on a regular basis. Can I provide additional documentation that it's me, so I don't have the mismatched name issue. Thanks! -Ly

[BojanS]

Hi Ly,

I have followed up with our team and your beneficiary name has been approved.

Thank you!
