The beneficiary name is mismatched.

Payment method verification in progress

Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.
 
I need help with this notification. I've been using my bank ever since I started my account and this is the first time I encountered this notification. Thanks.

Hi Marianne, 

I checked your account, but I'm not seeing this in your account. Do you mind sharing which specific page in your account you're seeing this notification?

Hello,

I was able to withdraw funds without any problem earlier since my upwork name and the name in my bank account is same. But when I tried to get paid today, I noticed a "Beneficiary name mismatched" message, due to which my payment method was removed from the system. Please assist me with this

Hello Avery,

 

I have the same problem. I was previously using only one of my names on Upwork and so I have the same warning on "Get Paid" page:

Please visit our FAQ page for additional information

Can you please provide me assistance on this?
