It's tiring at this stage. I used a new browser, and it's still bringing the same prompt. 

Do I have to delete the existing payment methods that have the old name arrangements?

Hello there,

 

I have recently joined Upwork, and as I was about to recieve my first payement, I got a notice that the beneficiary name is mismatching. I have accent characters in my legal surname, which upwork does not allow me to put in. Special accent character is the letter ž instead of z.

 

Thank you in advance,

I'm trying to add my bank account which has the same name as my profile name but for some reason the financial account name is still using my old name. Can you please update my financial account name because I'm unable to do so myself?

Hi Mohamed,

 

The name mismatch on your payment methods has already been cleared. You should now be able to withdraw your earnings to your chosen payment method.

Hello support. I need some assitance;

 

1) I had the same 'beneficiary name is mismatched' problem because my name is Oğuzhan Şahin with special Turkish letters 'ğ' and 'ş' and I wrote it to upwork as 'Oguzhan Sahin'. To solve this problem I changed my name to on the upwork as 'Oğuzhan Şahin' Because of that clients started calling me 'Ouzhan ahin' Please tell me your opinions about this.

 

2) I have waited for a long time after I took and finished 2 jobs last 2 weeks and coudnt get any money yet because it took so long for ID vertification and this mismatched issue. Now there is a new problem. It shows that I have withdrawl the money to my local account with the reference number 533684451 And the money didnt come yet. I am in a financial crisis right now due to all that time past and lack of fast response of support mail adress. I would like to change this transfer to another account like vise or payoneer but it prevent me to change it. I made the job long ago, even spend money for it but didnt get any cent of it. Please help me.

Hi all!

 

I am receiving the error "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account.  Please visit our FAQ page for additional information." since November 11th and I don't know how to fix it.

 

I am using my first and last name in Upwork, but I am trying to use my company name in the payment method.

My identity is verified, all my company tax information (W-9) is already uploaded, and everything appears to be ok except the payment method verification.

 

I already read this

  • You are using a company bank account — To complete verification you may need 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

but I don't know how to complete the verification. 

I cannot find a place to upload the required documents.

 

Could you please help me with this issue?

 

Thanks

Diego
