Beneficiary name is mismatched

[Sandee M]

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, I'm a transgender individual and I set up my account with the name I currently use. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get my legal name changed, so the name on my profile doesn't match the name on my bank account. Is there any way I can make this work?

Welcome, Marnie. As stated on the Upwork "bank name is different" page in the help guides: 

"Upwork will make exceptions for transgender individuals who are in the process of transitioning but have not been able to obtain a name change due to legal or other barriers. Documentation may be required."

Raise a request for a manual name review with Upwork. I'm sure a moderator will be along shortly to also help you.

Hello, 

In my case i got the "The beneficiary name is mismatched" message, but the email and name from both my paypal account and upwork are the same. What do I do?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Luigi, 

It has been over a week now and nobody has contacted me about the issue. The "The beneficiary name is mismatched" message is still showing in my profile. I would love if you could help me sort this out.

Regards!
