A new option appeared in some of the AdSense accounts, allowing the registered members who got it to receive their payments through the Western Union QuickCash service. At this time, the service is available only in a limited number of countries including China, Romania, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Philippines. In case you don't understand how important this function is, let me explain it to you. Usually, AdSense pays its users through Google-signed checks, which are automatically sent to them. The bad thing about this system is that the checks are often received after two or even three months, so the users are not able to cash in their payments quick and easy.

Using the Western Union Quick Cash system, the consumers will receive the money the day after the payment is initiated, so it is a lot faster than the traditional payment technology. The new function is available for the users from the countries mentioned above and it's displayed in the My Account menu in the Account Settings tab.

"Western Union Quick Cash is a payment method that allows you to receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. Payments will be available for pick up at your local Western Union Agent the day after they are sent according to our normal payment schedule," Google informs.

"Your Western Union Quick Cash payment will be made in US dollars. However, at most Western Union Agent locations, you may have the option to receive your payment in your local currency. Conversion rates will be calculated according to the rate used by the Western Union Agent on the day you pick up your payment."

In case you're wondering if there are special commissions for your money transfers, the answer is yes, Western Union Quick Cash charges $15 for the sums up to $3000, and $25 for the ones over $3000, as Cristian Mezei from Seopedia writes.
