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:

Hello Avery,

I'm having a similar problem with the beneficiary name being mismatched and I think I know what the problem is but I have no idea how to solve it. The problem, in my opinion, is that my legal name is "Tomáš" but UpWork only let's me enter "Tomas" and therefore the name of the beneficiary doesn't much my certified UpWork name. Do you think you could help me with that? Thank you very much.

Avery, I have the same problem and I have no idea why. I've been using the same bank ever since I started working on oDesk/Upwork. I didn't change anything at all. I can't withdraw funds due to this problem. I need to withdraw my funds asap. Please help.

I'm having the same exact issue. Not sure how to resolve this or if it will resolve on its own.
