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.
Before you sign up, please keep these important points in mind:
- As mentioned above, Western Union Quick Cash is only available in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, and Romania. We'll be sure to let you know if we're able to offer new payment options to additional publishers.
- This payment method is currently only available to individual payee names; we can’t offer it to businesses.
- You'll need to bring your government-issued ID to pick up your payment, so please make sure that your AdSense account payee name exactly matches that of your ID. Please contact us if you need to update the payee name in your account.
- Payments must be picked up within 35 days of issuance or they will expire. If this happens, a payment hold will be placed on your AdSense account and the payment will be credited back to your account.
- Payments will be made in US dollars, but depending on your local Western Union agent, they may be picked up in your local currency.

Here's my experience with Western Union:
I'd sent money to a recipient in Russia via Western Union.
Western Union phoned me 5 (yes FIVE) days later to inform me they could not deliver the money.
The reason they gave was that my recipient has a 'suspicious' name.
The reason they gave for the five day delay was that they had to conduct an 'investigation'.
They also said I had to provide an address for the recipient.
There was no space for recipients address on the form I had to fill out when I sent the money originally. The agent that took the money to be sent, including a substantial Western Union fee never asked me for an address, or informed me that such a problem might arise.
What irked me most was firstly the five day (yes, FIVE DAYS for something billed as an 'instant' service to tell you they decided not to put it through, but to run an 'investigation' instead) and secondly how their agents who phoned me and the supervisor I managed to talk to made it out to be normal and somehow MY fault for not providing the address. I repeat, there is no space for recipients address on 'send money' form, nor was I informed by the agent that such information even MIGHT be necessary. I would have happily provided the address.
As for a suspicious name, my recipient has one of the most common names in Russia, not that it should be in any way relevant.
So it seems the whole Western Union company is a scam. It appears this company considers itself to be in the business of conducting investigations, passing on customer information to governmental agencies (read the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Union#Blocked_transactions), and whatever they say in commercial about it being an 'instant' or even 'fast' service is very much questionable. Beware
Please add Guatemala as one of your options for the Western Union Quick Cash payment channel.
Everyone in Guatemala will be very grateful if you guys do that.
Hi,
I am very interested to setup my adsense payment with western union. I am in Pakistan and according to information western union is available in pakistan. But when i try to configure payment mode as western union quick cash, There is no option "Western Union Quick Cash radio button" available in my adsense account under payment detail section. Only two options available, Check normal, Check secure.
I reviewed my country name and it is showing properly as Pakistan in Adsense Profile and i receive check properly to my address but its taking too long time while receiving check, deposit check in bank and chash availability.
Now i need a way how i can setup western union as a mode of payment.
Waiting for help.
please add Algeria to your todo list, since,here, checks in dollar are very hard to get paid and western union works perfectly
I do hope soon... Google will include my country - INDONESIA in Western Union Quick Cash payment...
We are much depending on Citibank to cash our check. Other banks charge us very high bank fee.
Please add ALGERIA for the Western Union Quick Cash payment channel since it's very difficult to cash Adsense checks here, not to mention it takes too long.
There's a plenty of Western union agents in Algeria, we hope you'll take our request into consideration
I need to changed my country from Sweden to UK but it seems that there is no way to do that? any suggestions?
I hope google will include my country: VIETNAM to the list in Western Union Quick Cash payment as well!

Hi Please help. I want to receive my earnings through western union quick cash but I don't know how. I have searched adsense forum and the web for answers. As suggested by google, i had to edit my payment type from my adsense account but there's no option or button for me to change my payment type to wetsern union quick cash. I have been receiving my checks through secure delivery and with that my earnings have to be deducted by $24 which is already a pain for me, since I'm only earning less than a dollar a day. I believe I have signed up for adsense as Individual account not Bussiness account, but how come there's no option for me to receive payment through western union from my account settings? If I happen to signed up with adsense as Bussiness account, how do I close my account and sign up again as an Individual account so I can opt for a western uinon quick cash payment? Seems like there's no way to contact the adsense team to ask this issue. Please
help.
Hi,
I checked today my account and saw that a payment was issued on Jun 23rd, I went to a WU office and they couldn't find my payment. After I got back, I found that there is a 35 days limit to pick them up...
Is it possible to send a notification by mail when a payment is made?
It will be a lot easier for everybody!
Thanks and hopefully you will consider my inquiry.

Does Adsense plan to use Western Union for Ukraine?
Has anybody notice that nobody from Google is responding to your inquiries? What you can do is to wait for your country to have enough Adsense earnings so Google can initiate a special arrangement with Western Union and include it to their service. Having Western Union branches in your country does not mean that Google will be able to send your Adsense earnings via WU.
Google will not waste their time and money if your country has low publisher and/or advertiser income. Don't forget that Google is a business entity and the focal point of it all is income.
I have set up my adsense since last month but i do not have any payment even i already reach $150.
What should i do?

Hello! I'm from Argentina and I'm adsense member with this ID number: pub-1262365538348368.
It's a good news for me this new Western Union payment method, but I have a problem.
In my adsense account I can't see WU as a payment option. I only see checks (standard and quick), but WU is not available.
I read the Help Center, and I wrote to the Help Forum, but I don't know how to fix my problem.
What can I do?
Hello. I'm from Romania.
pub-4723358984459826
In My Account Tab on Payment Details I can't find Western Union button. It only appears Standard Checks and Express.
How to fix this problem?
Hello ExtremeDesignStudio. I have the same problem, and I posted it above your message. I was searching answers and writing on some blogs, and I think that the problem is on "business accounts". If you have an adsense business account instead of an individual one, the WU option is not available. BTW I don't know how to change this status from business account to individual. If you know how to fix this problem, write me! Regards, Buscalaw.
can adsense extend the western union option to jamaica (caribbean)?.......soon?......please?

I would like Adsense to expand its Western Union payment to Papua New Guinea. My earnings have already passed US$100 but I know that it will take forever if I receive a cheque, therefore, I have put my payments on hold, and hope that Adsense can expand its Western Union.
