a asked sampath bank and they told me that they do not purchase bills so anyways you will have to wait 3-4 weeks for the money
when i received before money check the processing time was 20-33 days maximum, simply because they first send it to their central office, then to city bank then it comes back.. thats what they told me. now with Western Union its easy!
Finally I choose sampath bank. I created an account and deposited it in Sampath bank. It's very funny to refuse my check a combank.

Adsense doesn't charge anything for check stopping. So if this happens to you again just login to your adsense account and follow the instructions in the help section to get your cheque stopped. The money will be credited to your adsense account and you will get paid during the next payment cycle. So you can make modifications to your name, address etc. if you want to before the next payout.
Yeah for any advise, ive had to put stop payment on 2 checks before cause bank issues showing my apartment complex name on the pay to order with my name, so you could also do this til you get it corrected with google.
here in Israel it takes around 2-3 weeks for the check to clear if i remember right but because i have an account for a very long time they wont wait for the check to clear and the funds are available in my account instantly
