Requesting a manual name review

My bank account is under a nickname that I have and my license is under my full name. I have tried going through support to contact CS to request a manual name review and the email option is greyed out so I cant use it. After extensive searching to try and find a way to contact CS privately I have come up empty handed 😞

 

Does someone know how to request a manual name review? If you do can you help me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have the same issue. Need to request a manual name review, so I can add my business checking account (under my business name) for withdrawals. Can someone contact me?

Thank you!

Hi Valeria,
I have same issue. Agency name is different than my name. How can I resolve this problem?

Hi Valerii, 


This should not be an issue if you are the agency owner, and the bank account name matches your name. Let me know if you have other questions!

I am also facing this problem. I am a partner in an agency, obviously our agency has a company name and I have my own name. I have setup our agency to have our tax ID and legal company name, which matches our bank account. However, I can't seem to setup payment.  I have viewed the help article, which says to 'click here' to request a manual name verification, but that just takes me to the same help article with the same link. How do I create a ticket to request the name verification?
