EFT Prenotification

Dep Prenotification from Google Adsense

I checked my bank account this morning and I saw the following:

04/14/05 Comment: DEP PRENOTIFICATION FROM GOOGLE ADSENSE

All those who have enrolled in EFT, I would strongly suggest and see if you see something similar to above with your bank.

I assume You are from US.

Nothing to see on my bank account at Bank Austria Creditanstalt in Austria Europe

[jquick]

Yes, I am in the U.S. using a U.S. Credit Union. I am checking it through its online services.

I have a US account too. I didn't see this on my online statement. They may be working through the alphabet, confirming that there are accounts.

I have the same note on my account. Also a U.S. Credit Union.

and of course nothing at BAWAG, the Austrian bank that they finally believed me, that I was inputting the right account number even though it still triggered their filters .. can't wait to see what happens (to my money :()

Checked online and there is nothing in my US bank. Hopefully I'll still get the automatic payment.

I think it all depends on what information your bank allows you to see.

I have two accounts at different banks and understand that one account will allow me to see transactions immediately after they happen, and the other only shows me transactions after they clear. It just depends.

Not to worry, it is only the 15th of the month for goodness sake :)

What clearvision said.
I have never gotten any kind of pre-notification about any automated deposit or withdrawal on my B of A account. It will be interesting to see how this relates to the timing of the actual deposit. It will be nice to have these pre-deposit notices to go by here on WW.

Hey David, did you just input your sort code and bank account number into your adsense account, or did you also include the bank's name - Natwest?

I was wondering how google would know which bank to deposit the earnings in, but I'm guessing the sort code takes care of that?

Yesterday I found my EFT selection automatically reset to CHECK. I asked AdSense support and they answered me that EFT is still in beta and that it won't be used (at least here in Italy) if over a certain amount of money. They are doing this because they say that over certain amounts the bank might do additional tests and verifications, causing the whole process to fail.
The BIG downside for me is that the fallback is a check in LOCAL CURRENCY (Euro, for me), instead of USD.
The only upside is that they are going to send the check to me via UPS with no additional cost for me.
I spent months to open a new bank account where to deposit USD while having a good (and easy) interface to change them to Euro. This kind of automatic fallback (Euro check instead of USD check) is something I do not like, but... I guess I can do little (nothing? :-)) to avoid it.

Hey David, did you just input your sort code and bank account number into your adsense account, or did you also include the bank's name - Natwest?

I honestly can't remember! I was too excited at the prospect of EFT at the time I signed up.

I would say that I *think* I just entered the sort code and account number as the form didn't strike me as unusual. If the form had asked for more bank details that account number/sort code, then that *would* have struck me as unusual and I might just have remembered.

All will come out in the wash towards the end of the month.......
