Financial Account name change

Hi. I recently joined upwork and changed my profile name, having mistakenly used my nickname to apply at the start. I set up a payment account but it's displaying my old name under financial account. How can this be solved?

Hi Paul,

 

I checked your account, and it looks like your name change request has already been approved. For security reasons, your new payment method will become active in three calendar days. Thank you.

Hello Nikola,

I followed the instructions on how to change names and was sucessful with it. But when I get notified on Upwork or G-mail telling me that my payment process request was sent etc. it still presents it with my old name that I used on Upwork (my pen name). I realized that my legal name had to be used on Upwork so I changed it. But it has been a while since I made that change but my financial account name is still shown as my old pen name.

Hi,

 

Our Team shows with the name of an employee who has left our company. He's the one who originally set up our Upwork account. We need to change that. His name also shows up as owner on the page for Member & Permissions.

 

We've changed the billing three-four days ago, but the old employee's name still appears at those places.

 

How can we change it?

Hi! Thank you so much for the help, but I'm still having issues regarding

Is there any way to fix this?

Hi Joanne,

I would like to change my financial name to the current Upwork account name. I changed the account name a long time ago and just discovered that the financial name isn't changed and is different from my account name. I also find my financial account suspended. I have already verified my id! Can you please help me with changing my financial account name?

Hi Humayara,

At first on Upwork I was using a nickname until I realized we had to use our real name. I made the change and changed my financial account name to my real one. I made this change a while ago but it still displays as my old nickname when I get notified via G-mail or Upwork notifications. I believe due to this reason my payment process was denied. Since my old nickname doesn't match with my bank account name.
