I have recieved a cheque from google! after recieveing i went to bank, i gived the cheque to the bank manager,, he tell me that we will send this cheque back to google to be apporved from there, so is this right way to get the Cheque Cashed? or any other way is good for Cashing the cheque!
i m here in Pakistan!
In other words, after you deposit the check, it has to be returned to Google's bank through normal channels. Google's bank will then look to see that Google has enough money in its account to cover the amount of the check, and you'll be paid.
please reply
On the other hand if u want to cash it, then its better if u leave it with the manager.
i suggest u goto a Multi national bank such as Citibank if it exists in Pakistan; state banks are likely to take much more time.
-- Buy the check from you if you have an account with them and its in good standing.
-- Get you to open an account and send the check through the international systems for clearing.
The third option is to go to a money changer. There are several that will buy the check from you. I know there are a couple here in HK who will buy the check from you and write you a local currency check 10 days later.
i just open an Account in United Bank Limited, and now the cheque has been sent! They told me that please allow us 30 days to be send the cheque and get the "Active Cheque" from Google! i will wait for 30 days :(......... alwayz when i recieve cheque from google! and now i cant get the cheque from that Bank, because tommorow is Sunday :( and they have send the cheque to Peshawar, after Recieveing in peshawar then they will send it to New York, (USA).....
Its a very long Procedure!
Me too!
It must be cheaper for them and would certainly help out many publishers such as IamWebmaster.
They have already said they will be offering more methods of payment for publishers, although I highly doubt they would be sending it through PayPal. I suspect direct deposit will be one way, and perhaps using AdSense payment to fund an AdWords account would be another. We should hopefully see something by the beginning of the new year.

Makes us full partners Google, instead of a DRIP, how about a Google Earnings Reinvestment Program for publishers. Once you go public, you can let the the publishers get paid in shares once a month.
I am not saying do it now, but you know all of those investment bankers that are drooling after your business. Throw them that idea and ask them if they will manage that program for say five years as an incentive to get the deal. Overhead costs would be low compared to the fees that they will rack on. And while you might not be able to go with the auction IPO that you have thought about, this would also be in the words of Martha Stewart: good thing
>surprised that Google cant pay the money directly into the bank for you
Me too!
We all are surprised. We all are IT workers, some have been born after MS-DOS and PC, and is hard to believe that the most advanced search engine with the most sophisticated advertising program is sending paper cheques by mail across the Atlantic.
... or Google only has an income every time an advertiser receive a mail purchase order?
Besides, Google isn't that large of a company and setting up direct deposit with different banks within and outside the US probably takes quite awhile. Who offers this type of service for every bank?

Companies like Worldpay (I bet they have a smaller number of users than google publishers) do send the funds via EFT, so its not rocket science. We have had to set our WorldPay limits to pretty high values to keep the transfer charges low in terms of percentages.
Given that Google's banker for Adsense payouts is Citibank, I would not be too surprised if they strike a deal to allow relatively cheaper transfers if the publishers opened an account with Citi in their local countries. But.. that would require some forward thinking on the bank's part.
Finally, if I recall correctly, Citi has controlling interest in a P2P payment system which competes with Paypal. They could use that too if they had some imagination... :) (assuming it still exists).
Citi told me that since my business A/c was very low amount for them, I would have no branch access at all. I simply could not bear the thought of being put on wait endlessly to the call center people without any options!
The fact that the check spends about 6 weeks in transit for me, plus the 30 payment goal, multiplied by 100,000 or more si a lot of money made on OUR backs for Google and the banks. Guess what, if it wsas cash instead of a check suddenly EVERYTHING would be REAL fast at the banks to retrieve the money from it's impossibly cashness back into the bosom of the banking systems.
Just grates on my to think how many slimy bankers are wipeing their wallets on my hard work :(

Excuse my ignorance but using a service like paypal or direct wire transfer is going to be charged. how much wud these charges be? my bank charges me .25% of the total cheque amount or a minimum of 3$ whichever is higher to get the amount in my account. it takes 3 weeks. i know wire transfer will be much faster but if its more expensive then i dont think much for it, at least postal cheques dont make us liable for added expenditure.
guess G shld just give an option to the webmasters, but as some1 said lots of banks dont have branches in all countries so its difficult for wire transfers. In fact paypal itself allows withdrawal of money only to bank accounts in certain countries.
(Think it may have even been here on Sat 1st Nov as it was a Public Holiday in Germany so no post that day.)
Arrived today in Louisiana, USA! My first check. Sooo sweet!
