Getting paid (Google Adsense) New payments experience

New payments experience

We’ve made some changes to improve our payments system, and your account has been included to benefit from these changes. Here's a summary of the required actions, changes and added benefits of the new payments processes:

What's new?

Redesigned "Payments" and "Payment settings" pages:

• “Payment summary” is now called “Transaction history."
• “Payment method” is now called “Form of payment.”
• “Unpaid finalized earnings” is now called “Current balance.”
• Redesigned transaction history table shows you the latest activities at the top.
• New toolbar support allows you to filter, print, export, or download transaction information.

More flexibility with your payment settings:

• New extended timeline allows you to change your payment information until the 20th of any month.
• You can choose any payment threshold greater than the default payment threshold based on your reporting currency.
• You can also hold your payments until a specified date.

Improved navigation of the payments interface:

• Centralized locations to manage your “Payment settings” and “Payee profile.”
• Contextual help is displayed based on the pages that you navigate to.

We’ll continue to add improvements over the coming weeks and months.

Intro to AdSense payments

Wondering when your AdSense payment will arrive? Trying to figure out whether you'll be paid this month or next month? This guide explains our payment process.

Steps to getting paid

---

You must complete all the steps below before we'll issue your first AdSense payment.

1. Select your form of payment
Depending on your payment address, there may be several forms of payment available to you, including Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), EFT via Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), checks, and Western Union Quick Cash. To select a form of payment, visit your Payment settings page.
2. Provide your tax information (not required in all locations)
Depending on your location, we may be required to collect tax-related information. To provide tax information, visit the Payee profile page in your AdSense account. Click the edit link next to "Tax information". Our interface will guide you to the appropriate forms and requirements for your account.
3. Confirm payee name and address
Since Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), which we'll describe below, are sent to the mailing address in your account, it's important to confirm the accuracy of your payment address and payee name.
If you need to correct any information, follow the instructions in our Help Center.
4. Verify your address
When your earnings reach the address verification threshold, we'll mail a Personal Identification Number to the payee address in your AdSense account. You must enter this PIN into your AdSense account before we can issue any payments. Your PIN will be sent by standard post and may take up to 2-3 weeks to arrive.
5. Meet the payment threshold
If your current balance reaches the payment threshold by the end of the month, a 21-day payment processing period begins. After the processing period ends, we'll issue a payment.
For example, say the payment threshold for your account US$100. If your current balance reached $100 during January and you completed the 5 steps above, we would issue a payment at the end of February.
If your current balance hasn’t yet reached the payment threshold, your finalized earnings will roll over to the next month and your balance will accrue until the threshold is met.
Payments are sent within approximately 30 days of the end of the month.
