AdSense payments through WesternUnion is FREE, no service charge
Many people were asking if the WesternUnion payments will be free or if they will deduct any amount from the earnings. Google officially announced it today and said “it will be free”. It’s a great news too, because WU service charges are quite high. Up to 15% in some cases, so if you get $100, they could take $15. I guess Google will be absorbing that cost for some time.
Also this payment option is available to these countries only: Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, or Romania.
Tip: For those who have never used WesternUnion, when you go to bank, ask for WesternUnion and fill up the yellow form (to receive) and not the green one (to send). Sender will be, First Name: Google Inc. Last name: empty
P.S I have been getting my AdSense payments for the past one year through WesternUnion. I was one of the bloggers who was in the AdSense WU beta.
