Hi, 

I'm hoping to get help from someone on the support team

I am attempting to add a new bank account to my account but Upwork will not accept it because the first name on my profile does not match the first name on the bank account. This is because I go by my middle name and I want that reflected on my profile. I have already verified my identity by submitting my driver's license and taking a selfie and that was approved. I have a verified identification check mark on my profile as well. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to resolve this? 

Thank you in advance! 

Hi Audrey,

 

I have reached out to the team handling your case and I'm pleased to inform you that the name mismatch on your account has been cleared. Please also note that the team has taken action with your verified name to reflect to make sure that it reflects your second name. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Annie, 

I have the same problem. I want to add as a payment method my company's bank account and I have an authorization letter from my company, but I don't know where to send it. 
Please help me to complete this task.

 

Hi Sergei,

 

Thank you for your message. I do not see any Agency or Company profile on your Upwork account. Please note that your payment method must match the name registered on your Upwork account. 

 

Thank you,

Hi Pradeep, 

My Company (Foundation) does not have account on Upwork. I have a corporatized bank account from the Foundation and want to use it. Can attach the authorization letter, just show me where I can do it.

 

I have done this. It takes you to a bit and then to a place to leave a message in perpetuity 

My individual checking account, ending with **Edited for Community Guidelines**, gave the error: "The beneficiary name is mismatched." I can provide a document that proves the bank account is mine. Can you fix the status of the account?

Hello. I am experiencing this problem. The only difference is that in the bank, the initial of my middle name appears, while I have my full middle name in the Upwork settings. How can I get this fixed?

Hi Annie. 

I am having some issues with the "Upwork any hire" contract. The client paid me. For a week the milestone was in "pending" there was no date mentioned. 

Then yesterday Upwork put my contract with that client on pause (suspension). And when I checked my available balances it is showing me a negative amount saying that the client has returned the payment. What does it mean?

My upwork account name did not match the name in my bank account so that my direct to bank payment method has been deactivated. But I have edited my bank account details and matched it with same name as here in upwork. It is been over 48 hours now and payment method still could not be activated. Any help from the customer support to activate my payment method as soon as possible?
