Added my bank as a new payment method and I have been told that the beneficiary name is incorrect. How do I fix this?

Hi,
I need help for this.
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 only use same acoount name but still receiving this problem.
Feb 18, 2022 02:09:11 AM by Goran V
Hi Lenie,
Can you confirm if your name is listed as a beneficiary name on the payment method? I would like to clarify that you can only add a payment method that is issued on your name or if your name is listed as a beneficiary name. Thank you.

I don't understand. Why is it impossible to actually contact support anywhere on this website??
The support button (bottom right on this page) asks me to login again and again even though I'm logged in. If I go to the help center (while logged in), the support button responds with "If I can't find the answer you need, I'll get you additional help." but then everytime presents me with a "I'd like more help" button, you click it and go through the same loop again.
I added my business name as the tax and payment entity. Of course, that triggered the "The beneficiary name is mismatched. " error in Payment details.
The linked FAQ item in the notifcation at the top of my Settings page "https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211063768-Bank-Account-Under-Different-Name" mentions that support will contact me. But it's been several weeks and NO ONE has contacted me, there is no way to open a support ticket outside of coming here and posting a reply.
This is a problem that so many of your users have encountered, I really don't understand why this has to be so difficult to deal with.

Hi Bojan,
It's now March 2. No one has contacted me or opened a support ticket. My account continues to suffer from the same problem:
- The beneficiary name is mismatched.
- Payment method verification in progress.
These are the same messages that have existed since I first posted here.

Hi Mark,
I've escalated your concern to the team. One of our agents will reach out and assist you directly via a support ticket.

Hi Andrea,
Same issue here. It persists already for a couple of months now but I've just ignored it after I did a few updates since it seems that's an issue on your end. However, it hasn't been fixed yet it seems and I've tried again to update my bank information.
Feb 28, 2022 01:25:32 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Ionut,
If you're referring to a name mismatch, it doesn't look like you're having one with the payment method you currently have on your account, you should be able to use it. Please, let us know if you need further assistance.

I changed my profile name from a nickname to my real name, and it has now told me the benificary name is incorrect.
I changed the name to my actual name which matches up with my banking details.
Can anyone help or assist, I have recently completed a job and i'm unable to withdraw the funds
Thanks
Mar 7, 2022 03:13:19 AM by Pradeep H
Hi Robert,
Thank you for the message. I checked and I see that the team has reached you requesting additional documents for payment method approval. Kindly reply to the notification with the requested information.
Thank you
Pradeep
Mar 7, 2022 03:19:06 AM by Robert M
thanks for the swift reply Pradeep. It asks for the following
"Articles of Incorporation showing the company name and your name as an authorized agent"
"Business license showing the company name and your name as owner or partner"
"A current statement (dated within 90 days) showing the company name and payment provider contact details"
It's not a business, I don't have a "business" the bank account is my personal account
what should i do?
