Last year, I told you about Google was testing AdSense payment by Western Union. Now, it is available to all AdSense publishers from selected countries in Asia, Europe, and South America. No more check waiting, expensive bank fees and long clearing times!

Google AdSense and Western Union

What is Western Union Quick Cash?

Western Union Quick Cash is a payment method that allows you to receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. Payments will be available for pick up at your local Western Union Agent the day after they are sent according to our normal payment schedule.

Meaning, you do not need to wait for AdSense checks in snail mail. No more bank fees and long clearing times for checks. Isn’t it great?! :)

The Western Union Quick Cash payment is in US dollars. You may receive your payment in your local currency according to the exchange rate used by the Western Union Agent of the day you pick up your payment.

Is AdSense Western Union Payment available to you?

Currently, AdSense payment by Western Union Quick Cash is available in the following countries:

  • China
  • Malaysia
  • Pakistan
  • Romania
  • Philippines
  • Argentina
  • Chile
  • Peru
  • Colombia

Google may add the payment method to publishers in other countries. If yours is not listed, please be patient.

How to update AdSense payment method to Western Union?

It is very easy to setup your AdSense account to receive payment by Western Union:

  1. Sign in your Google AdSense account
  2. Click My Account tab
  3. Click the edit link adjacent to the Payment Details header.
  4. Select Setup Western Union Quick Cash

    Setup Western Union Quick Cash

  5. Click Continue >> button
  6. Confirm your payee name is EXACTLY same as your government issued ID (e.g. Identity Card) by ticking the checkbox next to “I agree that I have a picture ID that matches the contact name above.”
  7. Click Save changes button. Done!

Please note that the maximum payout amount of Western Union Quick Cash is $2,800 USD. If your payment exceeds this amount, it will be switched to Secured Express Delivery ($24 USD processing fee).

By the way, no Western Union payments to business payee names.

How to receive AdSense money via Western Union

According to Ades, you will be given a 10 digits MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) at the end of the month (if your AdSense balance reaches $100.00).

To receive the money from your local Western Union agent, you need to bring the MTCN and your government issued ID, know how much money you are withdrawing and Google HQ address.

For Malaysians, Western Union services are available at most branches of CIMB Bank, POS Malaysia, and RHB Bank. Click here to find your local Western Union agents.

Is it FREE?

According to both Malaysian AdSense publishers who were beta testers of AdSense Payment by Western Union, it is free of charge. :)

Update: The new Western Union payment method has been announced at Google AdSense blog.

  • It's great that it's free. Now Malaysians can cash out their Adsense earnings! (^^)
  • Yay!! Definitely a good news for Malaysian Adsensers!! :D
  • Oh, Too bad for Indonesian still not listed in the country list. :(
    But it's a nice feature to make things better. Hope soon my country will be in the list. :D
    Thanks for your information.
  • Liew,Do we need to setup a western union account in local bank?
  • Alvin
    Adsense will not impose a service fee for using this feature but will Western Union charges a commission? I understand that WU commission is very high. If it is completely free all the way, then that would be great. Meaning we will actually receive in full what we've earned from Adsense without any deductions. There must be a cost involved in remitting these funds via WU, just that who is bearing it. We or Google?
  • hehe just look and see
  • Heh, I have to contact them to change the payee name. You know lah, I have my surname at the back in my payee name. I scared I can't withdraw because my IC shows surname in front, so I just quickly emailed them :D
  • I have changed the payment method to "Quick Cash"....:)
  • I'm still waiting for my PIN now, it's been 4 weeks over and it's not arrive yet. How long does it takes for you guys to recieve da pin?
  • I have subscribe to this service..now just need to wait till then end of the month to test
  • When PayPal allow Malaysian to withdraw money using debit/credit card, Google Adsense brought good news to us too...haha
    Thanks for the information Liew.
  • Read a similar post in Sabahan.com much earlier.
  • A good news for all but so what? I'm banned :(
  • I don't think the service will be free, am in australia now, am using the EFT service and they still charge me..
  • LcF
    EFT is not free. Western Union is free, at least for the moment.
  • Wow That is really great!!! Can I write an post about this base on your source???
  • Dear Liew,

    Have you try withdraw your adsense income via Western Union QuickCash?

    Regards,

    Jason Lee
  • Thanks for this update.

    I have opted for the Western Union mode of payment. Will see how much CIMB is going to charge.

    I think even if the bank charges, this is still a great option. At least it won't take a month to get the checks to clear.

    Prior to this, I chose Secured Express Delivery after not receiving two of my checks via snail mail. Google credited the lost check but it was frustrating.
  • LcF
    @Jason Lee: I will receive my next AdSense payment by Western Union :)
  • Darma
    Hye liew.i need to know that does we recieve a pin which i recieved the 1st time to activate before the 15th of the month.but this my 2nd month i never recieved any mail of the pin like last month when my 1st payment.is ther the pin is just for once.is the western union is ready to collect after the 1st day of the month of the payment
  • LcF

  • Does Pos Malaysia do WU QuickCash?
  • jeremy
    Wow!

  • I got my Google Payment via Western Union TODAY. :)
  • I also got my Adsense payment through Western Union at one of the BCB branch today. Wow ! it is so fast and efficient.

    Drawback, the exchange rate is a bit low.
  • how come my adsense account don't have the western union radio button?
  • LcF
    @Palmdoc: yes, POS Malaysia do WU QuickCash

    @Jason Lee: recently, MYR is strong, and USD is weak. therefore the exchange rate is lower than previous month.

    @joanne lee: are you adsense publishers from the listed countries in the post?
  • I'm adsense publishers from Malaysia. Is that one of the listed company in the post?
  • onyemachi

  • @joanne lee

    Western Union payment method is available only to individual account, not for business account.
  • Amy
    Are you required by Google AdSense to submit the tax information? If I do not submit the info, can I still get payment from Google? I'm Malaysian and staying in M'sia.
  • LcF
    @Amy: yes, you are required to submit tax information (even you are non-US residents) to receive AdSense payment.
