Atlast Western Union Available as Payment Option and I just shifted to WU. I remember fews months ago I email to google about to include WU as payment option as checks taking much time, and they replied that they will look this and thanks for your suggestion. I am not sure that they follow my suggestion but its ok for me that my desired payment option is available now. its a big relief for me as my checks were taking 45+ days for clearing.
Honestly I am so happy with this new roll out - No More Checks - No More Waits - No More Bank Processes You get your Adsense money in form of CASH right after the day it is issued in your adsense account You can switch to WU using the Payment Details option in your Adsense account
I just checked and it is only available in the following countries : * China (Mainland) * Malaysia * Pakistan * Romania * Philippines * Argentina * Chile * Peru * Colombia I hope it will be available for all countries ..

what about the WU fee? does google deduct the WU fee from our account ? $1000 remittance cost how much fee?
I received my check via DHL, it takes $25 and my bank also takes $5 dollar, now i will receive money via Western Union, i dont know how much western union deduct and when i select western union option, i dont know about this option? I agree that I have a picture ID that matches the contact name above.
the bad news however is that WU has a limit of 2000 US$ - hence I am wondering how G is processing payment for full amounts exceeding the WU limits. ( I am waiting currently on a formal clarification by G adsense support on that subject ). since G does NOT specify WU fees - it is apparent that normal WU fees would apply.
^ I read on another forum that the WU option is FREE. so yeah, there will be no fees. IMO, these countries are the ones who gets their cheques lost often. I am from the Philippines, and losing something on the mail is very popular here or atleast it's happening very often. Same goes in Argentina (AFAIK). I have a friend from Argentina who is also with adsense, she gets morethan 1,000 unique visits per day (highest was 10k/day before, unique.) I'm not sure if she was able to receive a single cheque from google, but the last time we talked about it, she said she haven't receive any from google. but still she's posting the ads on her site. so i dunno, maybe she put it on hold and is just waiting for another option or something..
"the bad news however is that WU has a limit of 2000 US$" Where did you find that info ? I get regularly WU transfers for about $3k in average each time and know person who received $5k with no problems.
