I guess I was late to post up an entry on Adsense’s new payment method – Western Union since this blog is relatively new. However, this payment method is only available in the following countries:-

1. Argentina
2. Chile
3. China (Mainland)
4. Colombia
5. Malaysia – yeah!
6. Pakistan
7. Peru
8. Philippines
9. Romania

Google – The payment will be available for pickup at the local Western Union agent the day after they are issued.

That is super duper fast if compares to payment via check with take around 40 – 50 days.

Is there a fee involved? According to Adsense Blog …

It’s free to receive your AdSense payments by Western Union; you’ll no longer need to wait for a check to arrive in the mail. this choice can also cut down on bank fees and long clearing times associated with depositing checks.

I save around RM12 on bank fees as I usually deposit the check into my HSBC account.

Where can I receive the Adsense payment through Western Union?

1. For Malaysians, RHB, CIMB and Pos Malaysia
