Western Union Quick Cash for Philippine AdSense Publishers

Listen to article

HUAWEI Watch Fit 5 Pro Review The biggest changes are coming to Android Auto Free internet 24/7 now at Pasig River stations and ferries The Sony PS5 price just jumped to PHP 40K this month What is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide?

Looks like the beta stage for the Western Union AdSense payout has been completed and rolled out to everyone. The Western Union Quick Cash is now available for Philippine AdSense Publishers.

You can now receive payments for your AdSense account the next day payouts are approved. That’s much faster than getting it via regular mail (25 days) and even via DHL Secured Express Delivery (5 days). Selected Philippine Publishers have been using this delivery method for months now, under beta testing stage.

Your Western Union Quick Cash payment will be made in US dollars. However, at most Western Union Agent locations, you may have the option to receive your payment in your local currency. Conversion rates will be calculated according to the rate used by the Western Union Agent on the day you pick up your payment.

Western Union

If you would like to receive your earnings by Western Union Quick Cash, please complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your account at www.google.com/adsense.
2. Visit the My Account tab.
3. Click the ‘edit’ link adjacent to the ‘Payment Details’ header.
4. Select the Western Union Quick Cash radio button.
5. Click ‘Continue’.
6. Click ‘Save Changes’ to save your payment type.

Please make sure that the name on your account exactly matches that on the government issued ID card that you will bring to pick up your Western Union Quick Cash payments. If you need to update your payee name in your account, please let us know and we will be happy to help you to do so.

This could finally be the answer to all those mysterious disappearances of AdSense cheques in the post office. Just hope the WU Exchange rates are better.

@jalani:

pano ko mapapalitan ung sakin? pwedeng ako mismo ang magpalit o kelangan ko sabihin sa kanila? kung gawin kong individual ung account ko… matatransfer b ung earnings ko from business account ko?

JALANI C. MONTILA · 18 years ago

hi.. if business ang account mo, d pwd sa western. need close ng adsense ang business account mo then sign up ka sa personal account.

ganyan din nangyari sa akin.

vhonne · 18 years ago

elow… may google adsense account ako pero wala akong WU option… sabi sa Google Adsense Help… wala daw ganung option pag registered ang account mo as business/es.

sa pagkakaalam ko nmn… individual account ang account ko… pano b malalaman kung business o individual ang account mo?

Macnerdz · 18 years ago

at least we have a safer alternative to avoid those horror stories where google checks disappears at the local post office.

pinoynr1 · 18 years ago

i have 3 friends earning $12.000+ a month each
as for me 15k

philippines is great man

zylla3 · 19 years ago

Wow…I’m getting excited finding all the links to Philippine websites. I guess, almost as excited when I first found Kirsty’s blog (linked from mine) where I realized the many ways of monitizing your website. I’m hoping to retire soon in the Philippines, and I’m glad to find some snippets of how this works from there. My husband has http://www.xzyllardrums.com and we’re just wondering how it would work from the Philippines. Just curious…is anyone there really earning more than $10,000 or even close to it? So far, in my recent bumming around the internet I found 2 legit $12,000/mo earners. It might take me another lifetime to get to this stage. Where was I then?

infoguide2 · 19 years ago

sakin Payment in Progress pa rin, first time ko ngayon sana yung WU. sakin naman normally every 1st of the month ko, nare-receive ang check. then after 3 days cleared na sya sa bangko. mukhang mas maganda pa yata yung sa cheke ha. hope to receive it soon.

kalabaw · 19 years ago

yah PIP pa rin hanggang ngayon. meron na ba dito nakakuha ng payment via WU? badtrip ang tagal!

Showbiz Intriga? Get It From Boy! · 19 years ago

Bakit wala pa ring payment from WU?!Normally with DHL,i would get my check on the 29th!pero with WU,it only says payment in progress with no details since the 25th,dati sa DHL,24th lagi payment sent!

ronald mojica · 19 years ago

adsph.com

You love google.com tapos Yahoo!!! hehehe…

galing nito anyways blocked din ako ng adsense pero ung proxy ko ung bumubuhay sa akin ngayun.. Intay ko lang ung PIN… matagal ba talaga un?

adsph.com · 19 years ago

i just change my payment option to WU Quick cash.
i love google for doing this. yahoo!!!
no need to deposit my checks on the bank and wait for 3days.

Gail · 19 years ago

Maganda nga sana, however adsense block my account. Question lang po, how come am still receiving email from google adsense, kahit na block nila account ko?

ronald · 19 years ago

hehehehe…. ayus talga to… grabe na to… tnxpo sa information…

jay · 19 years ago

true, not yet in saudi arabia. adsense earners in phil are now raving on this. weeeee!

Dexter · 19 years ago

Just for info.. It is not yet available in SAudi Arabia..

blogOloco · 19 years ago

@James – it would only do good for all the Filipinos in the Philippines. At least you have a choice.

whatsuplb · 19 years ago

This is great! Now, if only my blog can earn me the minimum payout amount…

ed of SEMlaguna.com · 19 years ago

all i can is YEHEY!!! bye bye DHL!!!

Showbiz Intriga? Get It From Boy! · 19 years ago

From what Iâ€™ve heard it seems that Western Union takes $15 for any payment below $3000, and $25 for payments that are greater than $3000.

ok na rin, kung sa $24 from DHL saka matagal magdeliver, tanga pa mga delivery personnel. Imagine, since january na sila nagdedeliver sakin, monthly, everytime, laging naliligaw papunta samin, accessible naman papunta samin. di man lang magtanong sa kalye or the neighbors mga taga DHL.

Saka i don’t agree with google’s terms na kung kelan pinadala yung check, yung araw na yun din yung exchange rate, something like that…at least with WU, you have the option to WHEN to exchange it for the pesosesoses!

otoy · 19 years ago

reall.. free tlaga ang pag receive ng funds sa WU? but are they going to get some percentage of our earnings ba? or medyo slight mababa ang dollar exchange rate? i just switched from secured delivery to WU.

Jeffrey · 19 years ago

Yes, Paypal can now receive payments. I just tested it!

Goodbye Xoom, i didn’t like you anyway for canceling my money payments!

Abe, it’s time to blog about this for tomorrow’s issue.

JC John SESE Cuneta · 19 years ago

88 Days before Christmas. 8 do make miracles!
First, Western Union for Google AdSense payments, now, PayPal Receive & Withdraw.

JC John SESE Cuneta · 19 years ago

Confirmed. PayPal now allows us to receive payments, and Withdraw!!

James · 19 years ago

Guys, this is off-topic but let me be the first to tell you the good news:

PAYPAL PHILIPPINES can now RECEIVE payments!

Wohoo!

http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com/2007/09/28/paypal-philippines-can-now-receive-payments/

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 19 years ago

From experience, receiving funds from Western Union are free. This is because the sender pays all the charges. In this case, I’d assume Google had a nice agreement with WU for some discounted remittances. Big win for WU, IMO.

ernesto · 19 years ago

is it free???

jay · 19 years ago

i was actually surprised with this, just when i got my pin, i found this info on my adsense account.

before getting the money, better ask some money exchanger of what’s their rate of USD vs PHP. then go to WU, if their rate is higher than the money changer, withdraw it in PHP. if not, withdraw it in USD, then rush to the money exchanger.

Miguel · 19 years ago

Yes, the Pinoy Google Economy indeed. I wonder how much foreign money we have flowing into the country thanks to Google!

JC John SESE Cuneta · 19 years ago

Pinoy Google Economy – haha… nice :D

Same here, I’ll keep it in USD, online income is just a secondary source of income for me. My Day Job is still my primary.

Using it to save for the business I will start :)

Miguel · 19 years ago

This is great news – helps the Pinoy Google Economy.

For my personal use, I agree with Noemi – I’ll stick to USD deposits. Earning online is just side income for me, employment is still my main source of income. :)

SELaplana · 19 years ago

i will not use this at this time. just to wait for the reaction of some adsense publishers….

boddah · 19 years ago

free?! that’s good! sayang din yung $24 payment for the secured delivery checks eh.. hehe

Ederic · 19 years ago

Libre nga kaya ito? Sana nga. :)

Joni · 19 years ago

Coolness! I like this option! Thanks, Abe. :)

feebles · 19 years ago

Hi Guys,

I just want to ask if i can deposit my check at any banks here in the phils?

Coz i’ve just received my cheque from revenuepilot…..and i don’t know where to claim it.

Thanks!

Kiven · 19 years ago

hmmm maybe if the rates are better as BPI’s 3 day clearing is good enough for me.

Eugene · 19 years ago

This is really nice. And not a moment too soon if you know what I mean. :-)

noemi · 19 years ago

I still prefer the secure delivery over the Western Union. Deposit is safer and encourages savings.

entrepreneur ideas · 19 years ago

I think this is best option for now besides faster delivery compared to secured check delivery and you can have your earnings in dollars which you can convert to peso anytime if the peso vs. dollar conversion is good.

Did someone mention free service fee? now that’s even better!

boy · 19 years ago

why would you be so angry! do you earn 10k US? wow at that!

how do you do it?

siguro naman ang exchange rate ng Western Union is competetive naman sa mga banks, or am i right?

can anyone research on this? what’s the exchange rate of western union for the philippines.

unique · 19 years ago

The maximum payment we can send for an individual payment is the following (US$10,000). If your payment exceeds this amount, it will be switched to Secured Check delivery.

Tough luck! :(

anton · 19 years ago

wow!! finally! no need to wait for the 15 day clearing period of HSBC!!!

JC John SESE Cuneta · 19 years ago

w00t! finally!!

sylv3rblade · 19 years ago

WTF?!?! Free?!?!
NICE!

James · 19 years ago

True, the only question here now is whether Western Union’s exchange rates are better than the Secured delivery checks. But given the 1-day payout, it surely is an improvement over the secured checks.

And yes, WU payouts are free:
