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 Sahil, 

Please allow up to 48 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch. I can see that you recently added the payment method you are referring to. This will go through the team's review, and if they need more information, they will reach out to you.

Hello, I am new to Upwork and I am trying to connect a PayPal account to my Upwork account, which got rejected. It says that the name of my PayPal account and Upwork account does not match. It is true that I used someone else's PayPal account to connect, which is clearly under a different name. Is there any way that I can connect the PayPal account, or use other methods as long as I can start working here? I currently can't make a PayPal account so it is not possible for me to get an account with the same name as my Upwork account. Thanks!

"Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."

Hi, I need help with this notification. I changed my bank account to my company's account however the beneficiary name on the account is different than my name.

[judegomes]

You have to add beneficiary name as same as Upwork account information.

Hi, I have a verified identity in Upwork under the name**Edited for community guidelines**however when I try to add a payment method I received an email that said that my financial account name is **Edited for community guidelines**which is an old name that I changed. Upwork is not allowing me to add any payment method due to this issue. why is my financial account showing an old name?

Hi Upwork world!
I'm wondering how to change my verified name.

Unfortunately my billing setup was denied because my bank account and verified name don't match up. I recently got married and have already changed my last name at the bank, but used my old ID to verify my upwork account.

I can't seem to find anywhere to contact UpWork support. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

I have submitted my Government ID for verification at the following link

**Edited for community guidelines**

At first, It was showing that We are reviewing your Documents and the process will take 24 hours and after 24 hours, when I open the same link it redirects to my profile page.

I think my documents are verified but I am getting the following error on the Get Paid Page

Hi Sukhpreet,

Please know that to set up payment to your bank or payment account, you must be listed as an account holder or authorized signer on that account, or demonstrate that you are authorized by the business to do so. The listed name on the account must match your verified name on Upwork. 

[sukhi_4424]

Hi Joanne,

Yes it's my personal Saving Account and the account has only one name i.e mine and I have the same name on Upwork too. I have also provided verification Documents to Upwork and they have also verified my documents about the same but I am still getting Beneficiary Mismatch error on Get Paid Page.

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 due to the fact that I made this account using my nickname.

However, I have already updated my profile on Upwork with my actual name. Any chance you could have my payment method activated already?

Thank you!

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