Beneficiary name is mismatched

[#1]

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

Thank you for the email. My client has released payment but I have a message saying my 'payment method has been deactivated'. My verified ID name is different from my bank account name. This is because I have my married name on my bank account but not on the ID I chose to provide. How can I provide additional ID to prove that the names are both mine and would this be enough for the money to be released to me?

Kind regards

Emma

My government id is verified, virtual verification is also approved but when I am trying to Get Paid it’s showing name mismatch. But name on government id is same as added in payment method. Please get it resolved ASAP.

Why upwork doesn’t allow me to create support ticket directly. How can upwork expect to post account related queries on community forum?

Hi,

I am trying to request help from Support. My legal first name is Elisabeth, but I go by Libby in all facets of my personal and professional life including my graphic design work. I do not want to go by Elisabeth on Upwork, but I can't link my bank account. Can I please get approved to use Libby?

Hi Libby,

I checked with the team handling your case and your name mismatch is now approved. Could you please clarify if you need further assistance? 

You can Go to Settings › Contact Info to edit your name. Please know that to set up a payment method, your verified name in Upwork must match the name on your payment account.

You can find more information here.

There seems to be an error in my payment method. After adding my bank account details, it says beneficiary name is mismatched however I have checked and everything seems fine. There's isn't any difference in the name on Upwork and that of my bank account. 
Please could someone help as I am trying to rectify this since more than a week now.

Thanks!

You will need to add the payment method again and if you get the same message, please allow up to 24 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch.
