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!

Hi, Vladimir.

I just added my local bank account as a payment method and I see a notification box saying the beneficiary name does not match. 

I can confirm that the bank account is mine and has the same name as I have on Upwork.

Are there necessary steps I need to take to resolve this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello, In my case I was able to get paid via my local bank for almost a year without any problem, today I wanted to get paid from my upwork account but I got the "The beneficiary name is mismatched" message, but the email and name from both my bank account and upwork are the same. What do I do? Thanks in advance

Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.-this is because I previously used my nickname when I created this account.

Hi,
I also experience the same issue with Carlos. On my account, I am using Camille Gueco-Torres and on my card (bank account), my name is Camille G Torres which is just the initial of my middle name. Can you also help me with this?

Hi Camille,

Please allow 3 days for the verifications on your payment method to be completed. If you're still experiencing any problems after this, let me know here. Thank you.

[cgueco]

Dear Sir, 

I have the same issue than the Freelancer above. I have the not "The beneficiary name is mismatched" but my Upwork account, and my paypak / or bank account are strictly the same name. Could you please check my case ?

Thank you

[AndreaG]

Hi Gregory,

I checked but don't see any mismatch error on your payment method. Please keep in mind any new payment method will become available after 3 days.

[c3c82852]

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply. You are correct, I don’t have the “mismatch” error message anymore.

But I have another question. I can see my balance is $0,00, but I actually completed my first job yesterday, and got paid 100$.

Why the 100$ does not appear in the balance ? Shall I just wait ?

Many thanks for your answer,

Gregory

[AndreaG]

Gregory, when your client releases a milestone or final payment on a fixed-price job, it immediately shows as pending on your financial account. Pending payments become available for you to withdraw after the standard five-day security period. You can check this in Reports > Overview.

[c3c82852]

Great, thank you for your answer. Well appreciated.

Hi, I setup my payment method today and it says the name on my bank account mismatched. The name on my bank account is just the same with my upwork name. I don't know why I'm getting this error.

Hello,
I have the problem that my beneficiary name is mismatched although there is written the same.
I didn't had this problem before and I never changed anything.

[kochubei_valeria]

Hi Gulperi,

It should be all set now!

[76133c5c]

Hi guys
I live in Turkey. While the Upwork account name accepts letters such as ü-ğ-ç, the name in the bank account section that I entered does not accept these letters. Therefore, the name did not match, so it went through the verification, but this verification has been going on for almost 1 month. Is there anyone who can help me?

Please review the attached picture.

I used translate while writing this. Sorry for the typos.

Hello Mevlüt,
