Malaysian AdSense Publishers are being offered payment options thru Western Union as reported in Ades blog here. Before this, payment options for publishers are limited to regular registered* mail which takes around 20 days, DHL** which is about 5 to 7 days but costs $24PHP 1,408INR 2,034EUR 23CNY 175 or electronic fund transfers***.
Adding Western Union money transfer might be a good alternative especially for countries where bank wire transfers are not supported could be a better idea. Besides, they have over 250,000 Western Union Agent locations in over 200 countries and territories.
However, we’ll have to look into the fees with this option:
From $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728 to $300PHP 17,606INR 25,425EUR 286CNY 2,183 : $16PHP 939INR 1,356EUR 15CNY 116 fee
For $500PHP 29,343INR 42,375EUR 476CNY 3,639 : $32PHP 1,878INR 2,712EUR 30CNY 233 fee
For $600PHP 35,211INR 50,850EUR 571CNY 4,367 : $50PHP 2,934INR 4,237EUR 48CNY 364 fee
For $750PHP 44,014INR 63,562EUR 714CNY 5,459 : $56PHP 3,286INR 4,746EUR 53CNY 408 fee
For $1,000PHP 58,686INR 84,750EUR 952CNY 7,278 : $68PHP 3,991INR 5,763EUR 65CNY 495 fee
Looking at the chart above, I guess the 2-day transfer thru Western Union might be good for Publishers earning from $100PHP 5,869INR 8,475EUR 95CNY 728 to $300PHP 17,606INR 25,425EUR 286CNY 2,183 a month. Upwards of $500PHP 29,343INR 42,375EUR 476CNY 3,639, the fees are a bit more expensive that the 5-day DHL delivery of $24PHP 1,408INR 2,034EUR 23CNY 175 would be a reasonable option.

I’m sure the vast majority of publishers are in the $100-$300 range, so they would benefit. This is why we need a Google Philippines country manager to work these kinds of things for us.
Aaron says:
I think Google is looking for one:

That Google opening has been there for too long, already.

Western Union might be charging too much, but I would rather pay $16 to have my money in 2 days instead of 2 months (1 month delivery and 1 month check clearing).
Mars Woo says:
Hey, I’m a Philippine publisher and I also received an invitation from Google to try Western Union this morning. Hmmmm. I think publishers should be wary of this because Western Union has a payout limit. I’m having second thoughts also because Western Union is very strict. You have to produce two valid IDs, fill up information sheets yadah yadah.
But one good thing to consider is that those who are invited to try the Western Union payout will not be charged for the service at this time. Hmmmm. Any thoughts?

I just logged in to my google adsense account just now and the tips told me that I can now recieve payments thru western union.. Man how happy can you be.. Fast and Secure and I think less cheaper than DHL.. last I heard they (WU) only charge $14 per transaction. Anyone have news regarding this? How much does google take from your earnings?
Alfie Miras says:
