    No, any bank account that accepts a cheque is fine.

    I didn't even know there was a business adsense account.

    Either way if there is then you would not need a special bank account but you would need a business license(BIN NO#), RST, and GST number(depending on where you live)

    Nope. You can use your social. You can have checks deposited into a bank account or mailed to you.

    No you do not need a business account to get paid from Google.

    Business account is not important. If you read the guidelines properly, then too you will find the same.

    More to say it is your own business accountacy to maintain expenditure for your business and vice versa. If you have accountant, then he is the proper advisor for it.

    You can link your Ad-sense account with your bank account, only if you are from US. Otherwise it is not possible for this time.

    No , you do not need to have that kind of AC. Any Bank AC is OK.

    I also believe you can deposit your check to any bank account whose owner name matches with the name on the cheque :).

    if you have registered a company name in adsense as payee name and cheque is issued in your company name, then you would need a business account to cash in the checks. If you have received your check in personal name, you can only deposit it in personal account.

    The type of bank account does not matter. What matters is that the name on the checking account must match your payee name that is registered with Google. If you have registered a business payee name with Google, then you need an account in that business's name. Otherwise, your checking account name just needs to match your payee's name.
