Hello everyone, I see a lot of new people on the Digital Point forums who are always asking when their payment from Google AdSense will arrive. Its simple really think of it almost like a delayed payment. EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) Say you have EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) setup with Google AdSense, its near the end of the month and your AdSense account is $100.00 or more. Google says to wait 1 month before you should expect the EFT to show up in your bank account. I have seen payments using EFT show up one month later around 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and even late as the 28th of the following month with the possibility of even being slightly later for EFT. Google AdSense Standard Cheque Receiving a Google cheque while slightly slower then EFT and causing a couple more steps is still a very good way of receiving payment. If you opt'd to receive a cheque expect payment within one month and two to three weeks. So if your Google AdSense earnings reach $100 by the end of this month, expect a cheque to be issues to you one month and two to three weeks later. This is obviously a longer wait then EFT but some people either choose not to or do not have the EFT options available to them which is perfectly fine. Conclusion For people who do not have a bank account to setup EFT payments you can get a free checking & savings account at Washington Mutual Inc. with free cheques for life. Use this to setup EFT payments if you would like to receive your payments on the EFT time scale which is 2-3 weeks faster then standard cheque. EFT is usually the best method of payment for most people as its secure where you don't have to worry about checks, gets deposited directly into your bank account and is just a really efficient way to deal with your Google AdSense earnings. Please note that this was written with the two most used payment options Google AdSense offers, there is another way which includes Western Union but AdsenseAdvisor a Google representative says: Payment by Western Union Quick Cash is currently available in the following countries * China (Mainland) * Malaysia * Pakistan * Romania * Philippines * Argentina * Chile * Peru * Colombia I hope this helps out atleast one new person who joins the Digital Point forums. These forums have helped me so much when it comes to understanding not only AdSense, but also a whole sleuth of quality information I would have taken years to learn on my own. Thanks Digital Point!
