Use my friend's bank account?

Hello,
I am a 17 year old boy . I live in UK, I have registered an Adsense Account. I have received code PIN, but I have a problem that I don't have bank account to receive my payment. Can I use my friend's bank Account as my FFT?
THanks

 

Why don't you just open your own bank account? It's pretty easy to do and at 17 you can do it in your own name.

 

arent you a bit too young to have adsense, you should be 18 to open a adsense account.

 

Yep... you need to be 18

I am suprised you dont have your own bank account at 17. It would be best to wait till you are 18 and go about all this the right way or you will only be posting a few months down the road saying "Google suck... they just cancelled my account".

 

If you don't open one yourself, use one of a close family member i.e. parent, older brother, sister. I would not trust a friend when it comes to money.

 

I don't know if I use my friend's account , I violate TOS or not? Google will cancel my account or not?

 

If youre under 18 you are violating googles TOS

 

But Google doesn't know I am under 18.

 

it only applies to USA.

 

or they only check it in the USA anyway, i'm with adsense for almost a year now, got my first payment already, and i'm 16, so don't worry about that.

 

I think it should be in your name. not sure.

 

ITs ok you can use your frnds account...They dont know its your frnd account

 

You can use any account you wish aslong as you are able to verify it by punching in the correct ammounts that appear on the statement which Google send to the account.

you can use someones paypal email also

 

You can use my bank account. Just pm me the details and I'll take^H^H^H^H help you.

 

Surely this is all hypothetical - at least as you are a UK citizen.

When you applied for your adsense account you had to put down the "payee" name and they dont let you change it (as far as I am aware anyway).

You will then only be able to pay the cheque into an account in the same name. Lonf gone are the days when you can pay a cheque in your name into someone elses bank account.

I also think you can only make an "online" payment into an account of the same name too.

Im not 100% sure of the latter point so maybe you had better check that but if you have requested payment by cheque you will not have any choice.

Just go and open your own bank account or even a building society that accepts cheque payments.

Finally, don't forget to notify the Inland Revenue that you are now "trading" and therefore have self employed earnings. You can earn up to £5,035 (from ALL sources added together) before you will actually get a tax bill and £5,044 before you need to pay National Insurance but even if you earn below that amount you must still notify the revenue.
