Google Adsense Automatic payment declined by Western Union- What to do

admin

What to do when your Google Adsense Automatic payment declined by Western Union?

I am an Adsense publisher and have been on the Adsense program for over 4 years. I have been receiving earnings payments for over one year by Western Union Quick Cash with no problems. My payee name and other details have not changed during the past year.

I logged into my Adsense payment console today and saw the following message in the payment line:

"Automatic payment declined: Western Union for (€xxx.xx). No reason provided by your financial institution"

This morning I received an email from Adsense team informing me:

"The payment we sent for your Google AdSense earnings on Jun 21, 2013 was unsuccessful.

Please verify that your payment settings are correct and contact your payment provider to ensure any issues are resolved. You must resolve this issue in order to be paid.

To view and update your payment settings, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your AdSense account at https://www.google.com/adsense.

Click on "Payments" under Home tab, and then "Payment settings".

Update your form of payment information.

Please note that if you are paid by check or by Western Union, you will need to click the 're-enable' button to re-enable your form of payment.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team"

Solution: According to Google Adsesnse you don't have to do anything and wait for them to re-issue payment with Western Union.

"We're expanding the number of Western Union payments that we're sending through our new payments system this month, primarily to publishers in the Asia-Pacific region. A small number (~5%) of the payments we sent to publishers in the following countries were incorrectly declined by Western Union and need to be re-issued. No action is required on your part. We are working with Western Union to complete the configuration changes and will automatically reissue the payments. We expect to complete this in the next 24 hours.
