Western Union Payment Method for AdSense

Google Adsense offering a new payment method for some countries. Publishers who located in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, or Romania, may change the payment method to Western Union Quick Cash. Western Union is a new form of payment that lets publisher receive the AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. According to Google AdSense normal payment schedule, payments for publishers will be available for pickup at the local Western Union agent the day after they are issued.

AdSense payments with Western Union is totally free. With this new payment method, publishers will no longer need to wait for a check to arrive in the postal mail. This new payment method can also cut down on bank fees and long clearing times associated with depositing checks.
However, I wonder why Google didn’t make this payment method for worldwide. If they really care about their publisher, they should make it available worldwide.

To exchange the payment method, publisher should keep these important points in mind:

  • Western Union Quick Cash is only available in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, and Romania as mentioned above.
  • Unfortunately, Google doesn’t support this payment method for business account. This new payment method is currently only available to individual payee names.
  • To pick up the payment, publisher will need to bring the government-issued ID that will be used to validate the payee name in adsense with the ID.
  • The payments must be picked up within 35 days of issuance or they will expire. If this case happened, a payment hold will be placed on AdSense account and the payment will be credited back to publisher’s account.
  • All payments will be made in US dollars, but they may be picked up in your local currency, depending on local Western Union agent that being used by publishers

    So, to begin receiving AdSense payments by Western Union Quick Cash, publishers just follow these instructions. What are you waiting for?

    Is it sure that Western Union Payment is totally free? Maybe AdSense won't be deducting any fees but would you know if/when publisher's claim it at a Western Union station, fees won't be collected before releasing the money...?

    Have any one able to get AdSense payout through Western Union? Please share...

    Thanks,

    Interesting take on Adsense. I've been working with Adsense for about 6 months and have been both frustrated and happy with my outcome so far. I've bought a ton of ebooks to help me through the process. Some good and some bad. I've review many of my blog.
