The beneficiary name is mismatched

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!

Hi! I made attempt to receive payment through bank transfer. But I received notification that my payment has been rejected due to invalid beneficiary name. My payment method also has been disabled.
I've changed my name account to match my bank account, but I don't received any notification of being under reviewed. Is my payment method already activated or should I wait for 48 hours to get it activated?

Hi Fidela,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about your fund withdrawal. I see that your revised payment method is already active now.

 

Thank you,
