My payment method is getting refused for "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 have changed the name to be the same as my upwork account name but it is still deactivated and it has been 4 days

From last 3-4 month i haven't used the upwork due to some personal reason, But now i am using it but i don't know why upwork is showing me that my name doesn't match with beneficery name, Interesting thing is that i haven't changes anything in my account, earlier my all withdrawl was done in that account without any issue, but now i don't know why it's happening, So i have raised my query in support (Ticket No - #39260925) but it's been more then 48 hours still i haven't recieved any response from upwork support.
How can i get quick response from upwork support team.

My direct to bank payment method has been deactivated since my upwork account name does not match the name in my bank account---this is because i have added a third name to my payment method that isnt in my upwork name.
But I have already edited my details to change my name to match the payment method. Any chance you could have my payment method activated already?
Thank you!

Hello! I have a problem with Paypal, I can’t withdraw money from upwork to Paypal, it says that the name does not match with Paypal, but I know and am 100% sure that my name is the same everywhere as in the passport, please help, thank you!
Mar 2, 2023 09:59:49 AM by Usama I
Hello Mykhailo N,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble withdrawing money from Upwork to Paypal. In this case, it's best to contact Upwork support directly as they can assist you with resolving this issue.
Regarding the name mismatch, it's important to make sure that the name on your Upwork account matches the name on your Paypal account exactly, including middle initials or names. If there are any differences, you may need to update your information on either platform to ensure that they match.
You can also check with Paypal support to ensure that your account is properly set up to receive payments from Upwork. They may be able to provide additional assistance or insights on this issue.
I hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to reach out to Upwork support for further assistance.
Best regards
Usama I.

Thank you Usuma! So I'am from Ukraine,I have middle initials, where i can change it on Upwork ? I just didnt found.
Mar 2, 2023 10:08:45 AM by Usama I
Thank you for writing back Mykhailo N,
If you need to update your name or middle initials on your Upwork account, you can do so by following these steps:
Please note that you may be required to provide supporting documentation, such as a passport or driver's license, to verify your identity when making changes to your name or middle initials.
It's important to ensure that your name on Upwork matches the name on your official identification documents, such as your passport, as this is required by Upwork's terms and conditions. Any mismatch can cause issues with withdrawing funds or receiving payments.
I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Usama I.

Hi Mykhailo,
It looks like you've deleted your PayPal payment method at the moment. Normally, it takes our team up to 48 hours to review name mismatches. That said, I feel it necessary to mention here that, in general, PayPal is not servicing customers in Ukraine for commercial payouts or mass payouts. Users in this region can send peer-to-peer payments or transfer funds from their PayPal wallet to an eligible credit card or debit card, but no Upwork payouts as these are commercial. You can contact PayPal directly for questions on any funds you currently hold with PayPal and consider adding an alternative payment method.
