All the while before this, I was withdrawing my AdSense earning via cheque delivered to door step via snail mail, all the way from Mountain View USA to Malaysia. This method took me 3 weeks for cheque arrival, and 4 weeks for the cheque to be deposited into my CIMB Bank saving account. In other words, from the date when my AdSense earning was issued by Google, it took 7 weeks for me to get the payment.

Wah lao~~~ luckily I was never urgently in need for the AdSense earning, or else.. wait until siao haha

In early June, with advice from my friend, Loh, I’ve changed my AdSense payment method to Western Union.

And for the very first time, my AdSense earning finalized on 23rd June, is eligible for pick-up at any local Western Union agent, beginning from the day after payment date, hahahahah.

This morning I had an appointment in KLCC Petronas Twin Towers. So, I brought along the Money Transfer Control No. printed on the AdSense Payment Details page, filled up Western Union withdrawal form at CIMB Bank KLCC, presented my national identity card, and I got my payment in CASH from the authorized counter.

The lady who processed my Western Union withdrawal actually asked me about why are they so many people withdrawing Western Union cash issued by Google Inc. I think she must be curious, as in why are there so many people in Malaysia associated to Google, the gigantic company.

I actually receive higher amount from Western Union withdrawal, comparing to cheque. There’s no processing fee to be charged on withdrawing party. The exchange rate offered by CIMB Bank is very reasonable too – 3.2311, for today.

If you’re a AdSense publisher in Malaysia, and yet still receiving earning by cheque, I strongly recommend you to act immediately today, change your payment method to Western Union. It’s so hustle free, and so much faster.

I’m using my AdSense earning to pay student loan. Luckily I have this little extra income, else quite painful paying with my full-time-job salary :p
