AdSense Payment via Western Union, Received!

Filed in: Adsense Tips, Make Money Online — November 6th, 2007

I just went to the CIMB Bank last week to receive my 1st AdSense payment by Western Union. It is trouble free, fast, and free!

How to know if you received an AdSense payment?

I thought we will receive email notification when the AdSense payment via Western Union has been issued, but I was wrong. There is no notification from Google about your payment.

In order to know if there is any payment waiting for you, you need to log on your AdSense account. Goto “My Account” tab, then click “Payment History” in submenu.

Under “Earnings and Payments Summary“, look for the description “Payment issued“. Got it? Congratulations! You have money waiting for you! Payment normally issued at 25th each month.Click on the “details” link to get the payment details. It has all the information you need to receive your AdSense money from Western Union agent. I suggest you print the page out.

Receive Western Union money from CIMB Bank

I brought the payment details and IC to the CIMB Bank branch in the town. I asked for the “Western Union form to receive money” form. It has a yellow color header (Green header form is to send money).

I took a few minutes to understand the form and filled in the form carefully. There was a special counter for Western Union business. No need to take a queue number.

Beside the government issued ID (IC in my case), I was told that I should give a photostate copy of the ID as well. I didn’t know that. Anyway, the staff made a photostate copy for me, free.

Also, I was asked about the purpose of the money. I answered “commission received for online advertisement”. You can answer the same if you have been asked.

Anyway, the whole process took around 5 minutes, and I am back with a stack of notes.

Oh yes, there is no additional charge to receive AdSense money by Western Union.

My two cents

Frankly, I am amazed how easy and fast to receive AdSense money via Western Union. You can get the money immediately the next day the payment has been issued. And, the whole process takes only a few minutes then you receive the money in cash!

No more long waiting for AdSense cheque and slow cheque clearing time. No more additional bank charge for cheque clearing. Plus, you can decide which day to withdraw your AdSense USD payment to save on currency conversion.

By using Western Union, I save some bucks for every AdSense payment because CIMB Bank charges me additional USD15 for US cheque larger than USD1000.

In about ten day’s time, more or less, we would be getting our payments via MU.

Despite the fact that it is easy to implement Adsense it is not long attractive to its non-US customers because the U.S. dollar is falling, reportedly Google AdSense cares less about small to mid-sized publishers as they used to, etc.

There are claims that if “a European company will come along and provide the same service as Google AdSense, and charge in Euros, it would sweep up all non-U.S. websites in one go, without any doubt.”

Correction: In about ten days’ time, more or less, we would be getting our payments via WU.

“it is not long attractive” should be “it is no longer attractive”.

Sorry.

Mr Liew,

When the payment is issued by Google, is there a time frame within which the payment must be collected.

Hi! Thanks for the very informative blog on receiving money via western union.

I'm very new to this. Need to ask you one question. In adsense when enter payee name eg yourself

First name : CF
Surname : Liew

so it will come out as CF Liew

But Msian NRIC will be Liew CF. Will it cause a problem when its time to claim the money from the Bank?

No, it is fine to have first name last name in different position.

Don't you get a receipt from the bank showing the exchange rate and
charges?
