I have started PE in Ukraine and want to set up Wire Transfer.
My upwork name is Andrii Hulin.
While setting up wire transfer to get paid, i've followed instructions (1, 2, 3)and filled out "Name of Account" as : PE Andrii Hulin. PE prefix is required to not have troubles with tax service.
Then i got this warning "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 were asked to verify my identity - i attached passport and Bank Statement from my PE account.
ID Passport was OK.
But Bank Statement from PE account somehow is not enough to verify that i'm a PE.
So i wanna ask what exactly should i send to support, if direct bank statement from PE account is not enough?
Is there are any examples from Ukrainian freelancers who have faced this issue, because i have not found any on internet?
Or is this just a misunderstanding

Hello!
Recently, I've had very similar problem, but it was resolved by tech. support.
Name of on FOP account should be exactly as you stated: "PE Andrii Hulin"
I've not been asked for proof that I'm a PE, possibly because of my long story on Upwork.
Can suggest you to send a ticket to Upwork support team not with balance sheet, but with official registration document (**Edited for Community Guidelines**):

Hi! It has been over 48 hours since my payment method verification is in progress since my beneficiary name is mismatched. This is because I had only use my second name when I created this account, but I already change it to my full name which is also the beneficiary name of my direct local bank. Can you activated my payment method by any chance? Thank you so much!

Hi
I need help with this glitch urgently.

Kindly help me fix

I have the same problem, added the account last weekend and says it is a difference, while I can see that both my registered UpWork name and the one on the account are the same.
That was supposed to be solved by Upwork in 48hs or should get connected in 72hs if additional information was required (according to help) but nothig happened.
I opened a ticket on Thursday but also no news yet and I cannot even see the ticket since it asks for user/password!!!
Sincerely, Upwork services and support has been going down over time!
Can anyone confirm how long did it take to get the issue solved on their own experience?

I have waited last more than 48hours.
Kindly approve my bank account details.
It's my own bank account.
I can provide any documents.
Apr 3, 2023 09:23:12 PM by Avery O
Hi Zainab,
If you can provide documents, it would be best to send them through your open ticket so that the team handling your account concern can review them against the information on your Upwork account.
Support tickets are addressed by the order they were received, and updating a ticket will automatically send your ticket back to the queue. As such, I would recommend refraining from replying to the ticket unless you have further questions that haven't been asked or would like to volunteer new information. Once the team gets to your ticket in their queue, they will respond through the same thread.

today Upwork notify me that "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account." In spite of they are the same.
