Western Union payment options spreading throughout sub-Saharan Africa

We’re working hard to give more of you more payment options. As part of our continued efforts to expand globally, we’re excited to announce the launch of Western Union Quick Cash® as an AdSense payment method to 11 additional countries in sub-saharan Africa: Reunion (FR), Tanzania, Madagascar, Seychelles, Cote d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Zambia, Benin, Burkina Faso and Gambia.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this form of payment, Western Union Quick Cash payments are free and will reach you faster than checks. Payments follow our normal payment schedule and are available for pickup in your local currency at your local Western Union agent the day after they're issued.

A couple of things to note: We can send Western Union payments only to publishers that have an individual account at this time. Also, the payee name on your account must exactly match the government-issued ID card that you'll use when picking up your payments. For more information on how to sign up for and pick up Western Union payments, please visit our Help Center.

If you don’t yet have Western Union Quick Cash as a payment method in your country, we hear your feedback and appreciate your patience as we work to make this available. Keep checking in on the Inside AdSense blog, as we’ll post all future launches here! ok understand
