How to Add Wire Transfer Payment Method in Google AdSense?

Once upon a time Google paid their AdSense publishers only through bank check. The check was issued only under the name of the AdSense account holder. Later Google allowed publishers to receive the payment on anyone’s name through EFT or wire transfer. This makes easy for site owners to nominate their friend or relative to receive the money in their bank account. In this article we will checkout how to add EFT or wire transfer payment method in Google AdSense.

Setting Threshold and Payout Schedule

General AdSense payment threshold is $100 and Google will send the payment by 21st to 26th of every month. Though you can’t change the payment schedule, you should be able to set threshold higher than $100 and schedule your payment in future date not later than one year. You can change these settings under

 “Payments > Settings” section in your AdSense account.
