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!

Hello,

I am facing the same issue in my account. I withdraw the same account before many times, but now my payment method has been deactivated.

How do I get this resolved?

Thanks.

Hi Andrea,

Hello

I have had an Upwork account since April 2020 and I had added my prefered method of payment as soon as I activated my account.  I am from Canada and I used my TD Canada Trust branch/banking information to receive my payments. 

Until the last few weeks, I have NEVER had ANY issue receiving payment from Upwork through my payment methd/bank. 

But this past week, I noticed a message on my Upwork account that stated the 'beneficary's name does not match our records,' (or something like that). The name on my account is the exact same name as my banking info and again, I NEVER had an issue like this before and I NEVER changed anything on my account.

After many tries of trying to 'fix' this (although I don't even know what to fix?) I removed my bank and added my Paypal account instead. I am just waiting for the 3-day security clearance.

But I want to know why this is happening and I am also concerned that I will receive the same message with my new Paypal payment method.  Please help!

Hi Fatima,

It doesn't look like your PayPal payment method has been flagged for name mismatch. I would advise you to add your bank account back if you'd like to use it and wait 48 hours if you get this notification. If the notification is not cleared in 48 hours you can let us know and we'll be happy to assist!

Hi Amar,

Your beneficiary name has been approved.

Thank you!

I have the same problem. Probably my first name was missing. Can you resolve the problem?

Hi Bugra,

Looks like you added your payment method today. Please allow 48 hours for the name mismatch on your account to be reviewed.

Thank you!

I want to withdraw my earnings but Upwork says, "...the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account." My Upwork name is the same as my local bank account name so I do not understand the problem. I've been clicking the HELP buttons and it says someone will get in touch with me but nobody did. How do I solve this?

Hello everyone!

I have my first payment available in upwork and I'm trying to make sure everything is already set before continuing in the platform. 

I tried withdrawing to my payoneer account and it said there's was an error, the withdrawn wasn't completed but Upwork took the $2 commision of course. I understand it must be a payoneer error instead of Upwork, so I tried adding my paypal account and it says my paypal name is not matching with the account name but that's not right, I don't know what to do and there's no way to contact support.

I have almost 2 years receiving the payments on the same US account and now you have disabled this payment method due to a name mismatch. You also have verified my account 2 years ago.

Why?

Please, resolve this issue.

Hello,

I still need help with this notification. Last week, I added my bank information to my account and I got this notification again. Could you help me, please?  I can not transfer my money to my bank account. Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to withdraw my fees directly into a local bank account, but the after setting my account information I received the following message: -

"The name "****" on your payment account has been manually reviewed by our staff and did not meet the criteria for compliance.

Which I believe is not the case, they are identical, can someone tell me what prodedure I can take so Upwork team will reconsider activating the direct local bank withdrawal method.

thanks,
