Why Google use only checks?

    BTW: I know that google also uses WU and stuff... but my main question is why google uses only checks, but not direct transactions into debit cards... or stuff like that?
    This is a big problem for me and for many like me who live in small countries...
    In my country i have to wait about a month to get the check... and then a month more to get the money... and banks also take about 20$+ for cashing my checks...?
    Why TF is Google doing that?
    p.s. it uses credit cards for adwords, but not debit cards for adsense... w

    Bank checks are accepted world world where as other payment methods have limited acceptance.

    Too many options, too many work to do... google is selecting the best option - less work for the staff..

    I'm guessing that you can't use the direct deposit option? That is what I use - I get the money the moment it is deposited.

    Well the best would be if they could send you the money to your Paypal account.

    agree with you, if you see the lifestyle the google employees live you would know that they do not really want extra work, they rather chill out .

    maybe because it is cheaper to pay the printer and sending the cheques in an envelope than dealing with bank transactions.

    No, but it is advised to inform google and get their consent before proceeding.
