Payment Method and Identity Verification

Hello,

 

I just added a billing method in my Upwork account. So, the cardholder of the Visa account is my legal brother. I am from Bangladesh and so is my brother. However recently my brother moved to a different country, precisely Germany. In Bangladesh, it's a complicated process to get an International Visa Card. So I used my brother's Visa account as my billing method. I can prove that the Visa owner is my brother, who is from Bangladesh, currently residing in Germany or any other details if needed.

 

Is there any way for me to verify my account with my own details and not my brother's? If it is not possible, I will have no other way than to leave Upwork as I don't currently own an international billing method. 

 

Regards

Sakib

Thank you for your quick reply. I am currently being asked to verify my identity. When I try to verify and click Get Started, the Full Name is my brother's name or the Visa card holder's name. Is there any possible way to change that name to my own name and make the system accept my Government-issued ID and not the cardholder's ID?

Hey Goran, I wanted to ask if it is allowed on Upwork that for example, he gives his profile to his brother and that his brother does the verification process for him?

Hi Alisa,

 

Sharing an account is not allowed and it is a violation of our TOS. Thank you.
