Although Google Adsense's Western Union payment has been prepared for a long time, there are still many deficiencies in the support of related packages, so publishers will have many questions. Here are explanations of most popular issues. However, this information will be continuously updated based on adjustments by Google Adsense.
Cost issue.
Western Union remittances are paid by the sender, and the recipient does not need to pay fees when accepting the remittance. All related fees on the Internet are Huifang's fee instructions. Google Adsense Western Union fees are the same as DHL Secure Express fees, which are directly deducted from the publisher's income.
Business Account.
Western Union remittance is mainly for personal services. Western Union remittance of Google Adsense does not support corporate accounts. Corporate accounts can only choose ordinary mail and secure express delivery.
Payment amount.
The Western Union payment limit is US$10,000. Western Union cannot be used for payments exceeding US$10,000. At the same time, Google Adsense will not help publishers split their income and pay it in batches. In addition, income exceeding US$10,000 will need to go through more procedures from now on, such as foreign exchange income declaration and source certification, which is related to the country's foreign exchange control.
PIN code.
Western Union does not affect the PIN process. The PIN is used to confirm the user's identity, not the payment process. Even in the United States, which uses electronic transfers, a PIN code is required. Similarly, newly registered publishers still need a PIN code and phone confirmation after earning more than $50.
Handle outlets.
Larger post offices and Agricultural Bank of China can accept Western Union remittances. You can consult the Agricultural Bank of China and post office near you. At the same time, because Western Union remittance is an external business, it is usually not processed on weekends.
Collection city.
There are no city restrictions for Western Union remittances. Publishers can receive remittances from Google Adsense in any city. They need to provide ID cards and Google Adsense related payment information.
Collection Notice.
There is currently no payment notification from Western Union. The next day after Google Adsense displays the payment status as "Paid", the publisher can go to the nearest Western Union outlet to collect the payment with a valid ID and Google Adsense payment information.
Currency form.
Google Adsense pays U.S. dollars through Western Union, so what we receive at Western Union is U.S. dollars in cash. Publishers can withdraw U.S. dollars in cash or exchange them for RMB on the spot when processing, or they can open an account at the Agricultural Bank of China and make deposits in cash. . Tip: There will be an exchange rate loss when converting to cash.
Remittance execution.
This month's payment has already started, so the publisher can no longer use Western Union remittance this month. If normal, the publisher can use Western Union remittance at the end of October. If you are not confident enough about collecting checks, you can cancel this month's checks and consolidate them to next month using Western Union.
Personal tax return.
Western Union is a payment method and has nothing to do with paying taxes. Publishers still report their Google Adsense income tax on their own so far. Google, the post office and the Agricultural Bank of China will not withhold and remit it. If an agency forcibly withholds it, please call 110.
Editor's note: Reposters, we are grateful if you can repost good content to this site in a timely manner and share it with more people! But please do not repost other people's articles just for the sake of those pitiful clicks, and indicate the fake source. !
In China, Google AdSense has always only provided US dollar check payment methods, which has caused a lot of trouble to webmasters, because it takes a long time from the time the check is sent to the final delivery. Although there was earlier news that Google AdSense will launch a bank transfer payment method in China this year, paying directly in RMB, there is still no trace of it. On the contrary, after several months of small-scale testing, Western Union Express has finally officially become the second payment method of Google AdSense in China.
