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!

I have the same "The beneficiary name is mismatched" problem, but my Upwork account name is the same as the card holder name so I am not sure what is the reason for the mismatch.

Marin

Hello everyone,

Once I tried to add my payment method, I have received this warning:

 

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.
Please visit our FAQ page for additional information.
 
My names are same in both banking system and in upwork system. I really do not understand what is wrong. The FAQ page is not telling something helpful, too..
Thank you for your feedbacks.

I can´t withdraw my funds form my Upwork to may bank account because there is a message:  "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."

 

That´s is not true because the two names match.

 

I have withdrawn 3 months ago, but now I can´t withdraw.

 

I have added paypal account but the message is the same.

 

Please, I need help form Upwork support

Hello!

I've recently noticed that I cannot get paid due to the beneficiary name in my bank account being different from what I've put in Upwork.

The FAQ in the help section isn't very helpful in this case, as I cannot see what's exactly wrong.

I was looking for a way to open a ticket to get direct help but cannot find a way to do so. How could I reach out to support in order to sort this out?
