Hello dear moderators

I have recently added a new payment method but it says it's mismatched even if it's literally the same name on my profile.

There was no other message asking me to wait. It just says its mismatched.

Please can I get help with this issue?

Thank you kindly.

Hello moderators.

Please could someone review the name mismatch on my beneficiary bank account? Its been two days.

I will like for it to be cleared up so I can proceed with my transactions.

Thank you!

I recently added a withdrawal account number, but the prompt says, "Name Mismatch" even though the order of the name is correct.

How do I fix this? My name on my account is the same as my bank account, but because you don't accept ü and ş letters, I can't get paid. My name is Büşra but on Upwork, I have to be Busra. 

Also, it canceled but took withdrawal money anyway. But I didn't get paid.

Hi Busra,

Please allow 48 hours for the name mismatch on your account to be reviewed.

Hello, My name is "Harun Yüksel" but I can not add "ü" while adding a payment method. I wrote it as "Yuksel" but this time I got the "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account." message. I want to add my name correctly to the payment method because, if I write it as "Yuksel" maybe the transaction will not be successful because of a name mismatch. Thanks

[#14]

Hi Harun,

I checked and it doesn't look like there is a name mismatch on your recently added payment method. Please allow the 3 security days to pass and your payment method should become active then.

[#15]

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes now the mismatch has been removed but as you can see from the below screenshot I can not enter my surname correctly. The system does not allow me to write the character "ü", so I am worried about the transaction because my surname is "Yüksel" but in the transaction request it will be seen ad "Yuksel" maybe this will prevent the transaction to be successful. Secondly, I want to ask that, the account I added is a dollar account so I want to be paid with dollars I don't want the exchange to TRY but the account currency is seen as Turkish Lira (TRY) in the payment details, how can I change it to USD. You can see both issues in the screenshot below.  Please could you also check this? Thank you.

Hi Harun,

Rest assured, since the name mismatch has been cleared, it shouldn't cause any issues in the future. Please know that, if you want to receive USD on a foreign account, you need to use the Wire Transfer payment method instead.

Thank you.

Hi, Upwork Payment Team

I need your help, my payment direct to local bank account keep getting rejected because of invalid beneficiary name. I've tried 2 times today, 1 time yesterday. What should I do now? I tried everything but it didn't work.

[#19]

Hi Giang,

I checked but don't see any payment methods on your account with a name mismatch. The one that is not active right now, should become active after the standard 3-day security period.

[#20]

Thank you, Andrea.

I think that my account number is the problem. I'll try to withdraw the money after 3 days from now on. If it still has trouble, please help me. 

[#21]

Hello,

I'm sure there have been numerous posts on this and other users have experienced the same issue, but this message has come up on my dashboard:

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

Please can someone advise on how to fix this ASAP? I read the article on what to do and it didn't explain the steps I should take to resolve the issue.

Thanks

Neil

Hi Neil,

The name mismatch on your account has been cleared.

[#23]

Thanks Andrea! Am I right in thinking that I can withdraw money once my balance reaches $100?

Hi Neil,

As long as the available funds cover the withdrawal fee, you can withdraw any amount manually!

I added my bank account, but I am getting a name mismatch error.  I also changed the name on my profile, but the error still continues.  Can someone please help to resolve this?
