Hi Jordan,

Thanks for reaching out. We've escalated this to the relevant team and can confirm that your beneficiary name has been successfully verified. You should be able to start using your payment method.

Over 2 weeks ago I added my bank account for getting paid and it is a business name while my profile is under my name.  No one has reached out to me from UpWork to verify the information and the "Chat with Upwork" option to be honest is a complete joke as it just spins you around in circles.  The support number I found online is completely automated so I'm not sure what to do next.

Hello Upwork community

I recently created an agency, and when I added the bank account, I encountered the same issue I had with my freelancer profile: a beneficiary name mismatch. However, I submitted a request from my personal account to customer support a year ago, and it was resolved then.

My name on Upwork is Farukh Faurkh. However, my bank account lists my name as Farukh. I believe this discrepancy is causing the mismatch.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Best regards,

Farukh

Hi Upwork,

I just added a new payment method and got flagged for a name mismatch. But my name matches my bank details. Can anyone help, please?

[#8]

It's resolved now, thank you, Upwork team!

Or we can still use different name for profile and payment method? (I try use my studio name for profile) Thank you

Dear Upwork Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to urgently address a critical issue I am encountering with my Upwork account. I am experiencing a discrepancy between my Upwork profile name and my bank name, which is preventing me from making a withdrawal to my local bank account.

It's important to note that the name on my Upwork profile accurately reflects my legal name, which matches the name associated with my bank account. However, despite this alignment, I am unable to proceed with the withdrawal due to the system indicating a mismatch.

This issue is causing significant inconvenience and hindering my ability to access my funds in a timely manner. As such, I kindly request your immediate assistance in resolving this matter on your end. Please verify the information provided on my Upwork account and ensure that it corresponds accurately with my bank details to facilitate a smooth withdrawal process.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will prioritize resolving it expediently. Should you require any further information or clarification from my end, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

Sincerely,

Ajibade Emmanuel

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.

Please find my account detail with my name.

Hi Syed,

Thank you for reaching out. I've escalated your post to the relevant team, and you should've received an email with more information on how to verify the beneficiary name so you can start using your payment method.

Hello!

It says there is a name mismatch for a bank account I added to my profile several days ago. 

My bank account includes my first, middle and last name. My upwork profile only includes my first and last name.

I would prefer to not add my middle name to my upwork account at the moment. Will I still be able to get this payment method verified and how do I go about that? 

Thanks!

[#15]

Hi Lea,

As confirmed by our verification team, your name mismatch has already been approved. You may log into your account to check. 

[#16]

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for your reply! I can see that the first bank account I added and the name mismatch there has been approved. 

However, I added a second account to which the name mismatch has yet to be approved after several days, and is the one I am inquiring about. Is there a way to check on that one as well?

Thank you!

Lea

[#17]

Hi Lea,

I followed up with the team and the other payment method you were referring to should be approved now as well. 

[#18]

I don't know how to post on her. I can not get paid. Every time I add my Bank account or PayPal I get an erro that tel me the name does not match, The name is exactly the same. This is literally horrible. They deal with money movement yet there is literally not 1 human support agent to speak with. Their AUTOMATED BOTS are useless. If My method to not get paid is not accepted because the stupid BOTS don't know how to read I will have no choice but to file a complaint with the Local DA. I should be allowed to collect the money that was sent to be paid to me for completing a project.

3. Type in a question or topic and click “Send.” The chatbot will provide relevant articles related to your question.

I would also like to confirm that I have requested the assistance of our verification team. They have confirmed that the name mismatch in your account has been approved. You may log into your account to check.

I'm getting this error whenever I try to add my PayPal or my bank account as a payment method. I've checked many times and my name is 100% correct on both upwork and payment methods. It's the same and accurate as in my NIC.

Hi Nimuthu,

Thanks for reaching out. We've escalated this to the relevant team and can confirm that your beneficiary name has been successfully verified. One of your payment methods will now undergo security verification and become active by 03/25/2024.

Hello!

I have been trying to add my withdrawal method for a direct deposit and it keeps mentioning that the beneficiary name is mismatch, even though it is clearly the same on all accounts.

The payment method also has been undergoing the verification process for about a week now, so I wanted to bring this up now and see what I am missing.

Thank You, 

Caleb

Hi Caleb,

I'd like to update you that the verification team has confirmed that the name mismatch in your account has been cleared. You may log into your account to check.

Dear supporte team

I see that my payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary's name and the payment method do not match, but I do not understand what you mean since the name of the beneficiary of the bank account and my identification document is the same. Could you please specify what you are referring to? Thank you and best regards.

[#25]

I've also faced the same issues since I started using Upwork I have been able to withdraw my earnings.
