Other issues with checks
- Sign in to your AdSense account.
- Click Payments Payments info.
- On your "Transactions" page, locate the line item for your check and click the "Automatic payment" link.
A payment receipt opens showing the payment number, date, and amount.
Rest assured that no earnings have been lost during this process, and the credited amount will be issued via your current form of payment. Please refrain from depositing any old checks you might have received, as your bank may charge you fees for depositing a stopped/expired check.
Remember that check payments are no longer supported in countries where Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is available. This is because EFT payments are a faster, more efficient, and more environmentally-friendly form of payment.
Additionally, please be aware that different banks often take different amounts of time to clear checks. We suggest contacting your bank directly for more information.
