So... isn't it about time that AdSense had an alternative option for publishers to receive payment through PayPal or other means of elctronic transfer?
Indeed, why hasn't it introduced this option so far?
JenStar have you heard anything? AdSenseAdvisor, any comments?
But even when they do finally get round to offering this service, how much would it cost Google to send these funds around the world?
I assume there will be varying bank charges depending not only on geographical location but also the type bank or account etc.
We have read here already that some of these banks are really criminals with the name bank somewhere to justify this, especially with some of the charges some people have to pay for a simple service of cashing a foreign cheque.
Would it cost Google more than it does now with the paper cheque?
Or would we have to pay for this service of direct payment depending on where you are and what bank your with?
Maybe when the option arrives in being able to have your Adsense earning being paid direct into a bank, i believe the options to which banks or financial institutes may be limited and you may need to join or be a member of that institute.

I am not familiar with direct deposit into international accounts. I do get direct deposits in Canada from the US, but I am not sure about other countries - are people able to get direct deposits from the US elsewhere?
Again, I have no business with them. I am just an affiliated who used to wait a few weeks for cheques, now I can get payments fast and get cash as I need it.

I've received UK direct deposit (they also offer US & Canada direct deposit) when I was using Commission Junction for advertising. The amounts were credited in US dollars so I assume they came from the States. They're the only one I've ever come across though.
AdSenseAdvisor, any comments?
At this time, I don't have any information about alternate payment methods, other than the "I know that they're working on it, but I don't have a date." :) It is one of the top requests from AdSense publishers, though, so I'll let you know when more info is available.
I'll gather the suggestions from this thread and pass it along to the AdSense team.
ASA.

ASA thats good to know some of the info/ideas here is being passed on and used.
I'm a NON-US publisher.
It take's me 3 months to cash $ from google
I'm still waiting for Octomber money :(
It must be optional.
Some people want checks, some pay-pal or bank transfer.
It's easy.
All you need is a USD bank account, the account number and the SWIFT code for your bank!
All the costs will be suported by the affliate.
I hope they can add a "fund transfer" feature, which enables AdSense publisher to transfer his funds to his AdWord account(if he has one). I will e very happy if I can buy a lot of AdWords for "free".
One European domain parking service I get paid by offers the choice of paypal (with a low minimum) or free wire transfer worldwide (with a larger minimum).
I'd be happy with a larger minimum on Google (or even paying a small fee) to save messing around with paper cheques. Paypal is not really that great an option, doesn't work in many countries.
The Google check is actually the only piece of paper mail my company needs to get at present, everybody else it deals with can cope with electronic billing and payments.
They would need another option besides that for people who are making 100's a day on adsense and spending 10's on adwords.
Not all PayPal users can withdraw their money. (AFAIK, only US, Taiwan and Korea can).
I'm in Canada, and I've withdrawn thousands of US dollars from my paypal account on numerous occasions. They just link it to a regular (Canadian) bank account.
I'm also in favour of electronic payment of some sort, whether it's paypal or direct transfer to a bank account doesn't matter to me.
I am willing to bet Google isn't even considering PayPal.. anyone who has experience with PayPal knows its more of a pain than a convienence.
No excuse to put more middle-men in line.. banks and big companies make enough as it is through delaying payments and adding fees.

I second that.
Do people realize that services like PayPal are NOT non-profit organizations?...
Direct transfer to my bank account is the easiest and safest way to get my money.
They are putting all sorts of restrictions on UK customers. I have given up reading their updates and have switched to bank transfers.
Cheaper, quicker and banks will speak to you. I do not know if anyone has had a problem with Paypal in the past but they do not answer you mail
[paypal.com...]
Anyway back to topic, but I am in Thailand and am very happy with the cheque. The only other option would be a transfer which is fine as well. Until then cheque's are great.

Add New Zealand and UK to this. I use all the time, and the money enter my New Zealand account in two days.
And don't forget the kind of fees PayPal charges for using their service. If your check is $2000, you will be hit with a PayPal fee of nearly $50, depending on the kind of account you have. Ouch.
Gives ultra steep discounts to large volumn customers.
Anyway - I think the topic is done? Lets move on.
