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.

Hello,

I have a weird problem. My name on Certificate of Earnings has turkish specific characters. However when I fill withdrawal payment info, I cannot use turkish specific characters such as 'ş' or 'ı'. Therefore, my withdrawal option automatically put on hold by Upwork and I cannot find a way to fix it. Can you help me on this?

 

Thanks in advance

Even though it's not true, the error states "The beneficiary name is mismatched." the whole time. I don't know what else to do anymore. My name and the beneficiary name of the bank account is definitely the same.

Help is needed, please!

Thanks,

Simon

Hello,

 

I am trying to add my bank account as a payment method.

My full name on my bank account is Charlemaine Par, which is the same with my 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.

 

Then I noticed that the verified name on my certificate of earnings is Charlenmaine Par - shouldn't have an "n" in between e and m. 

 

Can you let me know how should I correct this? 

 

Thank you.

Dear Pradeep,

 

Unfortunately, I cannot write you a private message.

 

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Roman Dantsev, and I am reaching out to seek your assistance with an ongoing issue I am facing with Upwork.

 

I am a Russian citizen, and my only valid ID is my national passport, which has my name written in Cyrillic: Роман Данцев. On Upwork, my name is written in the Latin alphabet as Roman Dantsev, and my bank account beneficiary name is also written in Latin as Roman Dantsev. This transliteration practice is common, and I have never faced issues with my bank confirming my identity.

 

However, Upwork keeps declining my requests to connect my bank account due to a supposed mismatch between the name on my passport (Cyrillic), my Upwork profile (Latin), and my bank account (Latin). Despite my efforts to resolve this issue, my requests are continually rejected without any provided solution.

 

Here are the details for clarity:

Name in the Passport (Cyrillic): Роман Данцев
Name on Upwork (Latin): Roman Dantsev
Bank Account Beneficiary Name (Latin): Roman Dantsev
I have been trying to resolve this matter for quite some time, but unfortunately, I have not had any success. The issue remains unresolved, preventing me from operating my earned funds on Upwork.

 

As a responsible and active member of the Upwork community, I have built my reputation and earned my money on this platform. It is crucial for me to access my funds, and I am urgently seeking your intervention and assistance to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

 

I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter as outlined on the Upwork Support page.

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

Sincerely,
Roman Dantsev
