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.

Dear Upwork Support Team.

I am a beginner of Upwork.
When I first registered my account, I registered the wrong account name because it was my first time using Upwork.
Afterwards, I changed my name to the correct name when verifying my identity.
I added a withdrawal method to proceed with the current assignment and withdraw money, but I received a notification that the connection was blocked because the bank's beneficiary name was different.
This is because the recipient name is different from the incorrect name I initially registered with Upwork. However, currently Upwork's name and the bank's beneficiary name are the same.
I hope you solve this problem asap.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.

Best regards.

Dear Upwork Support Team,

 

I hope this message finds you well.

 

I am writing to seek your assistance regarding an issue I have encountered with my account. Initially, I mistakenly provided my nickname when setting up my Upwork account. Subsequently, I corrected this by changing my account name to my real name.

 

However, when I recently attempted to add a withdrawal card to my account, I received an error message indicating that the beneficiary name does not match my account name. Additionally, I noticed that the notification for adding a withdrawal method referenced my previous financial name.

 

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this matter so that I can successfully link my withdrawal card to my account. Thank you in advance for your support and prompt attention to this issue.

 

Best regards,

Chamil Godellawatte

I had issues like this too with verification.

My 10 year old picture WAS NOT ME...and I was holding a TV camera.

After 30 minutes on cghat and sending up 5 shots from my mage library - I was finally approved!

So your issue may be similar. Unfortunately it is a hastle due to the Interbational Monitary and Identification Rules

Be patient and try the live chat

I think the issue is related to name on the account and the payment method.

Well its in Support so lets see how long the "pro's" take to answer.

i do not like speculation as it tends to take people down a bunny trail.

Hi

Yesterday I recieved a mail from upwork saying "The name on your payment account has been manually reviewed and did not meet the criteria for acceptance because the name in your upwork account is different than the name on the payment account." 

 

Actually, I have my maiden name on my upwork account and I want to change it now. How can I do that? All the information on my payment account is completely correct and already verified. 

 

Please guide me what to do.

I have just changed my name in my Upwork Account. It matches with the name on my Payment account. It will take 48 hours to process my request. I hope it will be ok. If any further information is required, please let me know.

Dear Upwork Community,

 

I have encountered an issue with adding my bank account. Despite several days of waiting, I consistently receive the message: "The beneficiary name is mismatched." I have verified that the name on my bank account matches exactly with the name on my Upwork account.

 

Could someone please assist me in resolving this issue?

 

Thank you for your help.
