My payment account name does not match your name on Upwork

Hi! 
As the title says. and in screenshot added

Your payment account name does not match your name on Upwork 

How can I overcome this? The bank account is in my name, but I am guessing it has to do with the middle names and so on? How Can I  'convince' UpWork that it is in my name? 
I am willing to send a statement, but I already did that before. So now the system denies it because my middle names are not always mentioned everywhere on every document but in this case they are, and sometimes shortened and sometimes left out, or sometimes not at all. (I have 2 middle names)
 
Because I started a week ago, and already got my first completed job, and 2 in the running with an interview. So I would like to see my payment on my bank account.


Thanks!

Hello,

Help! Same concern.

Hi Zaira,

 

In order to be able to add a payment method, it needs to be issued on your name or your name to be listed as a beneficiary name. 

Please keep in mind that your Upwork name needs to be your full legal name as well. To learn more about our accepted payment methods and how to add one, check out this Help Article. Thank you.

My paypal account name is exactly the same as my upwork account name, yet upwork says that it isn't a match.

Hi Zaira,

 

Please keep in mind that once you add a new payment method it will take 3 days for the verification to be completed. Thank you.

My payment method is saying mismatched (mpesa)when trying to withdraw,yet my ID name,payment account name and up work account are one.
Kindly help!

How did you fix yours? I have the same problem as well

Hi Bendee,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like you removed the payment method that caused the name mismatch notification. Please add your payment method again and allow up to 48 hours for the team to review your account for the name mismatch. They’ll let you know if any further steps are required from you.

 

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.

 

Additionally, I checked and it seems that you already created a support ticket for the issue you are experiencing. Please allow more time for our team to review your case and respond accordingly to your ticket. You will be notified of their response.

Zajeta slika.pngHi,
I have been using UpWork for ages, I never had any problem. I also didnt change bank or bank account. So, where is the problem?  Maybe in my name? I am Maša, but I had to write it Masa.  "Š" letter was not allowed to write there.

Please let me know what I can do. Thank you!

Hi Masa,

 

Our team will approve your payment method shortly and you will be able to use it, thank you.

If there is a problem why don't you contact me to solve it? Please let an agent check the issue and let me know what you need to enable pay-outs. Thank you.

Hi,

Remove the bank details attached to your account and then change your
profile name, make sure it is the same with your bank account name and then
re-added the bank details.

Hi Arjay,

 

My payment method is deactivated because my bank account name doesnt match my Upwork account name. Upwork doesnt allow its users to only use 1 name both on the payment method and the Upwork account name, so I had to put both my first names on the payment method and my family name as the last name on Upwork account. Could you please help me solve this?
