I am living in Sri Lanka. I deposited my first Adsense cheque on 17th September, but I am still waiting for funds to clear. Normally my other foreign (USD) cheques cleared within one month. How long it takes for you outside USA? Please reply. Thanks.
Chamil I used to live in SL so could you please tell me what type of bank account you deposited your cheque in? Was it a rupee account or a USD account? Also did the bank ask questions or harass you in anyway when you went to deposit the cheque or did they just accept it without question? Also how long did it take for the cheque to reach you if you used postal delivery? I live in Pakistan now and over here it takes between 15 days to a month for a cheque to clear. About 2-5 weeks for the cheque to arrive via postal mail.
Hi abdussamad, It took three weeks to arrive my cheque from Google. In Sri Lanka we can deposit USD cheques to our Rupee accounts (Current or Savings Account) Bank gave me a simple form to fill (I had to fill sender's Name & Address) then accepted it.
Here in Macau, It takes about 2-3 days to receive the check sent by DHL, and 7-8 days to clear the check using (ICBC BANK) , I used to wait for more than 1 and half month using other banks. Now I found the right bank. So The period to clear a check is depends on your bank's efficiency
In India, 4 to 7 days clear my google adsense cheque... My bank also give me money in advance on depositing check (Rs.15,000 limit)
Chamil, Cheque clearance speed depending on banks, for an ex: if you deposit sampath bank ( SL bank) then you will see this credit amount in your account within 27 days. or if you choose nay gov banks such as BOC,peoples bank ( SL banks) then clearance will take atleast 35-37 days. next time try sampath or commercial bank.
