The beneficiary name is mismatched

[laura14128]

Hello there,

at my payment methods it says that the beneficiary name is mismatched, I guess because my surnames in my bank account have accent marks and in my Upwork profile I can not put them.

Any chance you could have my payment method activated already?

Thank you!

What should I do?
Thanks,

Hi, 

Please help me.

I have been living in UK and provided uk location on my upwork account. But my nationality is Pakistani. Also I have a bank account in Pakistan but i dont get option of direct transfer for any other bank than UK or US. So i provided my husbands bank details for which it says beneficiary name does not match with account name. What should i do in this case. 

An urgent support is required. 

Thank you!

[ArjayM]

Hi Rimsha,

To set up payment to your bank or payment account, you must be listed as an account holder or authorized signer on that account, or demonstrate that you are authorized by the business to do so. The listed name on the account must match your verified name on Upwork. I hope this clarifies.

I am having issues verifying my ID and I am pretty sure it's because my ID has a different address. I changed addresses recently and I have just requested a new driver's license from the DMV. I have proof of the new pending driver's license. Is there any way I can send that proof to someone from linked in so my ID is verified?

I'm sorry for the delay. The name mismatch on your account has already been cleared, and you can now use your payment method to withdraw your earnings on Upwork.

Hello, I've setup a payment method. Then I received this message.

Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.

After couple of minutes I received a mail saying that verification failed and the names are mismatched.

The mail.
