Concern

Process Path

Transferring Account Ownership (CL profile to another CL or Agency profile to another Agency)

 

If user looking to give ownership to another user:
  • Request User ID for both accounts in question
  • Make sure there are no suspensions on either account
  • Any suspensions must be resolved before request can be looked into
If no current suspensions: see **Request to Merge Accounts or Update Ownership of an Account

Bank Beneficiary Name Mismatch (User receives error: “Name on bank account ending in XXXX does not match your name”)

 

 

 

 

When UPM is flagged with Name Mismatch, this means the name on their bank withdrawal method doesn’t match the verified name on their Upwork account.

To check for Name Mismatch:
Location Selection & Verification (Note: Identity Ops is uninvolved in this process unless IDV is involved) Allows US CL’s to find FL’s in their own country when posting a job.

For troubleshooting/questions: see **Location Selection & Verification

Identity Verification (IDV) Follow-up/Issues

 

 

 

To ensure this was an Identity Ops IDV, pull user up in OBO:

Verified Name Change Request

 

 

Name changes goes into a review process that Identity Ops will review within 24 hours; most cases are completed sooner than that.

To check name change status: see **Verified Name Change
Restricted Countries & OFAC Sanctioned Countries
(User receives error: “Your access to Upwork has been blocked. We see you are accessing our site from a restricted location”)

See **OFAC / SDN Countries

 

 

Reports / Suspicions of Russia / Belarus accounts

All cases can go to the IDR team for review where they will likely suspend the customer with a “Project 322” suspension and have them go through the appeal process.

 

All cases can be assigned in ZD to ID_Doc_Review_TS425. If an escalated case that needs to be immediately reviewed, please see #ask-identity-verifications Slack channel.
