December payment shouldn't come until Jan 28-30, and I have the EFT payment option enabled. I imagine if you still receive checks it should take much longer.
If you're using EFT, all payments go like this: December: Made over $100 January: That money made in december clears FIRST 5 Days of February: Your money is deposited into your bank account
It said on my adsense that they'll process the payment for me on the 30th. I guess I'll receive it first week of February via western union
I guess this depends on the bank that you use. I get my payments via EFT and within 12-24 hours after Payment in Progress starts, I will see the money in my First Internet Bank account which I can then access via a Visa Check Card. I have never had to wait until the first week of the next month to get paid. Payment has already been issued to my account (same say as PIP - January 25th) but I suspect it will take until Monday for the bank to process that transaction and make the funds available being this payment fell on the edge of a weekend and was not processed before the bank closed its doors on Friday.
