Hi team, I tried adding my payment method (Paypal) so I can transfer my funds from Upwork to Paypal however it showed me an error message/notification: Your payment account name does not match your name on Upwork then I uploaded my ID in Upwork to show that it's me but I did not get a resolution yet. I also created a ticket for this matter since I need my money :(. I hope someone can help me with this matter.

Hello,
I have previously tried to withdraw to local bank with the name 'Justin Halim' (works on other platforms) but I have received an email stating that the payment has been rejected due to 'Invalid beneficiary name'.
Factually, the name on my bank account is only 'Justin' with no last name and since upwork does not allow only first names on your profile I have also recieved a Beneficiary Name is Mismatched error when trying to change my payment method beneficiary name to only 'Justin'.
Please help me resolve this issue,
Thanks,
Justin.

when I added a payment method (bank account), I got this error :
Jan 15, 2023 02:30:25 AM by Arslan R
The error message "Beneficiary name is mismatched" means that the name on the bank account you are trying to link to your Upwork account does not match the name on your Upwork account. To resolve this issue, you will need to update the name on your bank account or on your Upwork account so that they match. You can check your bank account to make sure the name is correct, and you can also check the account details on your Upwork profile, to make sure that you have used the correct legal name. If you are still unable to resolve the issue, it's also a good idea to check Upwork's help centre or contact Upwork's customer support team for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and provide additional information on the requirements for linking a bank account to your Upwork account.

At my payment methods it says that the beneficiary name is mismatched, I guess because my name only contain one word "Hanifa" on my bank account. However, I can not change my profile name in the upwork because it's need first and last name.

Best wishes,
Hanifa
