The beneficiary name is mismatched

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!

Payment method claims mismatched in my page, even though it is exactly the same as in my Paypal (I even changed my paypal one to match it). What's going wrong here? Even weirder, a moment ago, I noticed I had accidentally placed my name Gonzalez twice, so I asked to fix it. I checked and it didn't say it was mismatched. Now that it's corrected, it says mismatched again.

Hi Guillermo,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like your name mismatch is already approved. Could you please confirm if you need further assistance? If you are still seeing a name mismatch notification on your end please share a screenshot so that we can check and assist you accordingly.

I have a paypal account that has been linked to my account since I started on upwork. Everything was fine and I used it to withdraw my money before but now when I try to withdraw money Upwork refuse and give me this message. I checked my name on both accounts and It does match as before nothing changed. I don't know why I get this message now and I can't withdraw my money.

I need help and a solution for this problem asap please.

Hi,

 

Re: The beneficiary name is mismatched 

 

I have got the first job in Upwork since I was registered. After getting the project, I have seen that some verification was being asked by Upwork. One of them was actually not verification but providing the bank account that you would like to withdraw your earnings to.

 

At that time as soon as I see that the "Upwotk Account Name should be the same as my whole name" sentence, I changed my name.

 

Since my first name contains a special character of "ü" I did not write it and just used my second name "Furkan".

 

I did not know I should have taken "writing my account name" that seriously when I first heard and signed up tu Upwork.

 

After seeing this warning I tried to change my name as "Hüseyin Furkan" but it poped-out a message like "this request may take 2 days to return you".

 

It is OK to know that I will wait 2 days and the problem will be resolved but it would not be that satisfactory if my real whole name is not changed to "Hüseyin Furkan Şahin" at the end of this waiting period.

 

Therefore, I am trying to write and get in touch with an executive or an Upwork Support Team Member to resolve the issue.

 

My ID verifications are completed by the way.

 

One more thing I would like the mention is that as I indicated above my full name "Hüseyin Furkan Şahin" contains two special characters of our language "ü" , "ş". When I am filling the relevant blanks on Upwork, while some of the textboxes allow me to write my name with these special characters, some of them does not. This makes me confused with how I should enter my name. Because, What I understand from Upwork's request is "please write your real name or write your name as it is in your ID" .

 

I would like to write my full name the same as How it looks in my National ID but some of the textboxes did not accept those letters and I changed the letters by removing the dots from them.

 

I know I wrote a lot but I hope someone will understand what I am suffering from and will reply to my message with a "No worries, this is not even a problem, it will have been resolved by the time indicated you by Upwork" 🙂

 

Thanks a lot for your concerns in advance.

 

Warm regards,

Hi Furkan,

 

Thank you for your message. I am pleased to inform you that your payment method has been accepted and will be active in 3 days.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hello,

 

My payment method has been deactivated for like a few weeks, saying it is because the beneficiary name on my payment method does not match the name on my Upwork account. But They do have the same name. I don't know what is the problem.

 

Please, help me activate my payment method.

Hi,

 

I have the same issue too. At my payment methods it says that the beneficiary name is mismatched. I guess it might be because of that in my bank account my name is written in Turkish, letters with accent marks. My last name is Öntürk, however, payment session does not allow me to write with accent, so I have to write Onturk. I added my payment method in 1 August. It's been more than a week.

Hi Ecem,

 

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. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello,
I have tried once to add my local bank to payment methods but It got a mismatch name issue, so I changed the account name and did ID verification again. And also I edited the bank request and submitted it again. And it has been 7 days but it still says the payment method verification in progress. But I feel that there is an issue with it.

Please help me, with what I can do to make it verified.

Thanks,
