No Wire transfer after switch to the "new" admob

[Saša Šijak]

After switching to the new admob I was expecting to get the same service, but when I went to select payment option I am shown this :

 Check - Standard Delivery * 
 Check - Secured Express Delivery (€15.00 Processing Fee) learn more ** 

* Standard Delivery checks are sent by regular mail and should arrive within 2-3 weeks of the mailing date. 
** Secured Express Delivery checks are sent via courier and should arrive within 1 week.

Is this some kind of bad joke? Is this year 1980? In the previous Admob, I was able to choose between Wire transfer (which I choose and my payments regulary came without problems on the 16`th of the month) and Paypal, and now I can choose only Check?? 

When are you going to fix this? (I hope that it is just some bad glitch)

This is such a bad experience I can not event start to explain it...

Actually this is better than wire transfer. After updating to the new AdMob console around 2 months back, the option for payments got replaced from wire transfers to just the check standard delivery for me as shown below

Cheque - Standard Delivery *  * Standard Delivery cheques are sent via a local courier service and should arrive within 10-30 days of the cheque date.

And the payments are processed similar to Adsense. 
So I have received the check on 5th August for the revenue earned in June. This is 10 days earlier and I think better.
But for you it shows the mailing date. I don't know if the mailing date is different from the check date. If they are both same ( they maybe), you will receive the check by 10th but obviously if you are fine with check ( or you want wire transfers and Paypal as options?)

How can cheque be better then wire transfer? With wire transfer money just shows up on my bank account with out me doing anything, with cheque I have to find a bank which will accept google cheque, then wait X number of days for it to be processed, and pay for the service...

I don`t care if cheque is received 10 days earlier than wire transfer, I had my earnings every 16`th without doing anything, and now I can only use cheque. Really Google, how can u make one good service worse? And why? Not to mention that my earnings have dropped, and statistics is less real time, estimated earnings got up then down then up...

Also, connected problem, is it THAT hard to enable developer to sell apps in more countries?? You have like 15 countries as mechant enabled. This is really really poor, I can not even imagine or think of good reason why is it like that. So bad.

[Saša Šijak]

Not to mention that when I asked on google io 2 years ago when will you enable much more countries to sell apps on google play, and I got answer "soon" and "we are working hard on it". Yeah right.

Do you know that for your services you force me to select non existing country (Serbia and Monetenegro, non existant for years, that country split) because for Serbia you wont allow postal code that are correct to be entered?! (mine is 11000 for capital city Belgrade). I reporeted it several times, but months passed and no one fixed that. And you need 5mins of work to fix that, what a joke.

Better because the bank is not manipulating the currency prices(for profits) during dollar-to-our home currency conversion. The check is in the Home currency and the conversion is done when the check is issued. 
For every wire transfer, banks deducted some service tax and education cess. I hated that.

Cant say about the acceptance of checks in your country but in India, all banks accept Google checks.
The checks are processed in a single day, I got the payments in my account on 6th ( i,e just the next day).

There can be mixed opinion about this. 

[Dusan U]

Couldn't agree more. Instead of getting something good from update, everything is total disaster. And now I have to take care of checks. It's 21st century, and now I have to wait for regular mail to get check and wait God know how many days to get it processed. I just don't understand why they removed wire transfer and paylpal. Update is just TERRIBLE!!!

[Amit Kumar Saha]

Same situation here even worse. I rarely receive successfully any courier/mail randomly due to the worst postal service in my area and my relatives have stopped me sending courier long ago. Now I have to keep regular touch to my local post office, have to offer bribe to them to care of my check and  not mentioning  about issuing the check. 

** Being a big company does not offer the right to hassle.   

Very very disappointed, and regretting I upgraded (in real I did downgraded.) :( :( :(

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

To better integrate with other Google services, the new AdMob now uses the AdSense payment system which has been serving AdSense customers for about a decade. Any questions/concerns with the payment options should be directed to the AdSense product.

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks Eric for your response, but as I clearly mentioned I merely can receive any mail successfully in my local address, I don't know how I can trust on this mail system with my payment check. Western union is also available in my country (Bangladesh) and its not supported in admob for Bangladesh. I am getting paranoid at this thing. One thing I can do surely that I can bribe the postmaster here in my region for say XXXX amount per month to make sure that my check is kept safe for me. I think for 3rd world countries, Google with this system is introducing more corruption.

Thanks again.

Thanks & best regards

Its very frustrating. Some people here agreed with cheque, we have no complain on that, if you like to get payment by cheque its your choice. But why Google removed the Wire and Paypal, at least they should kept the Wire system. Apple is a big company and they have no problem to send income by Wire. MMedia, MdotM all supports Wire and Paypal. If Google has problem with Paypal at least it should supports wire.

I hope Google will think about it.

[Amel Jose]

Check ! in INDIA !! What a DISASTER...

every other ad-network out there can send money via wire transfer....why not google.

Because he is the goddamn Batman

[Eric Leichtenschlag]

I'm going to lock this thread since we don't support payment questions here and the new payment system is the same as AdSense and uses the same billing infrastructure as AdSense. Any questions about the AdSense payment system would be more appropriate on the AdSense product forums.

Thanks,
Eric
