For US publishers Paypal would have been slower than having EFT. EFT deposits directly into your bank account without the need for an intermediary.
Probably only ppl are getting this BETA feature, which already asked the support for alternative paying methods... I am from germany (yep, it's on the list, ofc) and I can (and will ) use direct bank deposit, too! That's SO great...
yay, no more waiting 4 weeks for a US check to clear in an Aussie bank and getting completely screwed by the bank exchange rate
Fantastic news I've finally got my PIN off Google (it took over 3 weeks!) and wasn't looking forward to the same long haul getting a cheque. I've signed up for the Bank transfer method but still can't work out when Google will send the money? As I only just got my PIN does this mean that last months earnings will be sent next month? If so will they roll them together with this months earnings or send as two payments? Needless to say I emailed Google about this and the reply was so vague as to be worthless Cheers BP
With over 8 billion pages to take care of, be glad you even get a reply! Glad you can get the wire payment. I am just across the border and can't do it!
Great move from big G Guess payment option will improve further for those living in territories which are not included yet. Cheers
So, will this new EFT do away with the currency conversion fees that our UK bankers like to rob us of? Whatever - the cheques (checks) can even be sent in Sterling now - Yeehah
In wiretransfer, the sender need to pay the commission and not the receiver. Hence google will pay the commision and you will get your money in the bank.
This made my day, I will finally get my money in stearling and the banks won't charge lots for cashing a foreign check I added the new types of ads, they seam to fit in nicely with my site Great Day for Adsense publishers (in the 15 countries)
I am in Canada as well. I haven't even looked for the payment options. Cheque is fine by me. It arrives in a timely fashion and clears immediately...it's all good by me.
