Hello there,
at my payment methods it says that the beneficiary name is mismatched, I guess because my surnames in my bank account have accent marks and in my Upwork profile I can not put them.
Any chance you could have my payment method activated already?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have the same problem: My real name is Muhammet Şamil KASIMAY. It's also my bank account name. But Upwork profile name is M Samil because of Upwork system doesn't support some letter like 'Ş'. Can you check this please?

Hii Arjay,
After using my bank account without any problems, suddenly Upwork paused my payment method claiming my name does not match my bank account name. This is simply not true. I have just my first name and surname, there should be no confusion especially after the payment method has been verified months ago.
Please look into it.....

Hi Harsh,

Hi Arjay,
I am a part of an agency "Addline group", It has account here and the owner was Danylo Sementsov. I am writing on behalf of our entire team and Danylo Sementsov. The main page of the agency has been blocked for more than a month, we are losing customers and cannot get money.
We needed to change the name of the owner of the agency, which we did, renamed the page to another team member to whose account we could transfer the earned money (before that, the names of the page and the name of the card did not match), but when we went through all the verification, we were told that no it is possible to do so and we can go to the page only under the name of the previous owner and he needs to contact upwork support on his own behalf. He wrote, but we have not received an answer for more than a week, none! We are very disappointed and the issue still needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
If Danylo Sesentsov had access to his account, he would write to you personally, but he doesn't, and no one responds to numerous inquiries via mail, so imagine how much time and nerves we have already spent on this issue and how much we have lost.

Hi Oksana,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the action taken on the agency owner's account. I see that the relevant team handling their request has already reached out to the account owner today. Unfortunately, I am unable to share further details of other user's account with you for security purposes. Please request the agency owner to continue communicating with the team via the open support ticket so that they can better assist to restore the agency account.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Receiving the same error except I have been using the same payment method for years and it just pops up now. I even connected my Paypal that states the same name inputted on my Upwork account and the same error shows. My profile has been verified and had been doing business here offering services for a long time and this kind of out of the blue BS is a major turn off. Fix it ASAP

Hello Arjay, again I'm having an issue with Upwork not letting me withdraw because of a common name variation issue. Previously I withdrew PayPal as a method(I was using it) and now I chose to add my PayPal account again (the exact same account I used before..) and it's again the same beneficiary name issue (Im using the international version of my surname on Upwrok, the difference is the last letter). Please help asap

Hello,
I have the same problem with my payment methods (paypal) it says that the beneficiary name is mismatched, My name is the same for both. I waited for 24 hours to get the name reviewed and upwork answered with fail. Already have a support ticket but no one answered.
Any chance to get it fixed?
Jul 27, 2022 12:31:58 AM by Aiza P
Hi, I have wait for 48 hours for your team to review and I thought you will contact me for instructions on what to do. Instead, I found out that you deleted my added account. I have no other way to get payment since the previous bank is already gone, and the bank will not issue a name similar to my previous, before marrying, because my ID now shows my married surname. Please advise on what to do. Also your get support chat is somewhat a robot that is trying to help but unfortunately can't.
Thank you!
