Labels: International , Payments
We're excited to announce the launch of Western Union Quick Cash® payments in four countries in Africa! You can now select Western Union Quick Cash payments in:
- Algeria
- Ghana
- Kenya
- Uganda
A couple of things to note: We can send Western Union payments only to publishers that have an individual account at this time. Also, the payee name on your account must exactly match the government-issued ID card that you'll use when picking up your payments. For more information on how to sign up for and pick up Western Union payments, please visit our Help Center.

Hello
Great News,
I'm still wondering when Kuwait will be listed in Western Union Countries list by Google!
Here in Kuwait you can find a Western Union Center or Partner ever few Hundred Meters.
Financial Infrastructure is very good although, wish you make the process faster or consider Kuwait soon!
Thanks again for the update

Nice one but why not include NIGERIA? It is quite surprising not to see Nigeria listed. Or is there a special criteria used in selecting these four countries??
My check used to take close to four weeks before getting here and I will be so happy if Nigeria is considered.
Thanks.

Great! Quite commendable of you Google adsense Team. Congratulation to the present favored African countries. I strongly look forward for Adsense Team to extend this good and fast payment option to Nigeria.
Despite all seemingly odds, Nigeria got lots of legitimate, talented and hard working online publishers.
We will dearly appreciate this favor extended us in anticipation.
Thanks all the same.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone! We may offer Western Union to a wider set of publishers in the future, but don't have a date for when this may become available in specific countries. Stay tuned to the blog, and should Western Union launch in your country, you'll be the first to know!

That is great news! I am living in Thailand and here the payment has been getting a lot SLOWER over the last year or so. I can only receive payment via check and it used to get here before the 5th of the month - now it is around the 10th and nearly every time the check gets to my mailbox on Fridays (after 4 pm - and the bank closes at 4.30), if the Friday is on the say 6th of the month - then it comes the 6th, if the Friday is on the 11th - it arrives o0n the 11th!I assume this is the issuing bank (Citibank S.A.) and not Google that is the cause of this. Another thing is that up until last year, the time the check used to clear was like 5 days - now it is 10 days - so combine these factors - I am now not receiving the money in my account before the 20th of the month, where it used to be before the 10th up until last year.So a Western Union or wire solution in Thailand would be highly appreciated!

Wonderful!
I chose this new option for Algeria (Western Union Quick Cash) before I read about it online, it seems too good to be true, I just hope there will be no major drawbacks, with something like loosing 10% of total earnings or more for currency convertion fees...
Anyway, that's a fantastic news for me because I never could get a single penny out of my French blog : )
Thank you Google, no I can afford spending much more time on new website and blog projects! because it will pay webhosting and domain name, and a bit more ; )
I sincerely hope all other countries will be able to use an option that let them withdraw their earnings, I wish you all the best success!
Best regards from Algeria,

Truly, Nigeria has very large number of publishers, or could have the largest numbers of Google Adsense Publishers in Africa. Google will be most appreciated and celebrated for good and posterity by well meaning Nigerians online when included in the Western Union Payment. In fact, it will be like a saving grace to many of us.
We indeed love Google and Adsense program and will always remain grateful for this great opportunity.

This is great! I live in Nigeria and here the payment has been SLOW. You work for a month and gets the money finally in your account 26 days after payment is made due to the arrival of check, clearing in Bank and again the Bank charge 10 dollars out of the earnings also the courier fee is there too, GOOGLE PAYMENT TEAM PLEASE, INCLUDE NIGERIA IN THE WESTERN UNION QUICK CASH OR EFT SO THAT WE CAN GET PAID ON TIME LIKE OTHER PUBLISHERS who get paid 2 days after PAYMENT IS MADE. THANKS GOOGLE, YOU ARE THE BEST ADS COMPANY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

when it comes to considering Nigeria as a country that will be added in the list of countries that will have western union as a form of payment, this should not be debated. Nigeria has a vast amount of adsense publishers and they are very active. All banks in Nigeria have western union and money gramme, but the WU being very very very popular. We find it very difficult to clear our money(CHECK) because of bank delay. Consider Nigeria, we will be very happy. I suggested to Google having a kind of adsense prepaid debit card that works like payoneer card if possible. There is always room for improvement.

It's really great to note that Google is doing everything possible to ensure that publishers enjoy a stress free payment. I will also encourage that some other African countries be considered as everyone deserves a fair and equal treatment.
I trust that very soon more countries will be given the opportunity to enjoy the western union payment advantage.
