The beneficiary name is mismatched

Hello, today, I am trying to add paypal as an additional payment method.

My full name on paypal account is Cong Dinh, which is the same on upwork account.

 

But upwork says:

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.

 

But I noticed that the verified name on contracts and invoices is Ding Cong. Is this the reason?

If so, this should not be a big deal!

 

Can you help me add paypal quickly?

 

Best regards.

Hi all,

 

Our account support team actively reviews verified name mismatches. Please allow up to 4 business days for the team to review the name mismatch on your account. If our team finds an issue with your payment method, we will reach out to you directly with instructions on how to correct it.

 

In case you're adding a company account, the team will reach out to complete verification. You'll be asked to provide personal identification as well as one of the following:

 

  • An original bank statement showing the company name, as well as your name
  • A business license showing your name and the company name
  • Articles of Incorporation showing the company name with you as an authorized agent/owner

You can learn more about this in this help article.

 

If it’s been more than 4 business days and you still see the name mismatch notification on your account, you can contact support by: 

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hi Pradeep! I recently got notification on my Upwork profile that "Some services are on temporarily hold, needs to verify identity again". When I go to verify my identity it is showing name "Muhammad Hamza" but my name is "Muhammad Usman" also on my profile. And when I go to the Identity Verification page on my profile it shows Verified. So, please help me either it is a glitch or what?

Hello!


My upwork username is the same as my paypal username and the email is the same. But the upwork page says that my username doesn't match and later shows that my paypal payment method is not active. How can I fix this please?

Hi PradeepH,

I'm facing the same issue, I added my Paypal account, which is the same name in my Upwork and I received an email saying, "The name "Sundos Alrofaie" on your payment account ended in 0000 has been manually reviewed by our staff and did not meet the criteria for compliance.", I appreciate your support.
