Deadline to cash cheques
Where can I cash my cheque?
Because policies vary between banks, we're not able to determine if a specific bank is able to accept your AdSense cheques. All cheque payments are issued by Citibank. If you receive cheques in U.S. Dollars, please enquire at your bank regarding whether they have a correspondent relationship with Citibank. This relationship is required in order to process our U.S. Dollar cheques. Please note that Google AdSense cheques are for deposit only, and are not able to be cashed.
Additionally, please be aware that different banks often take different amounts of time to clear any cheque. We suggest contacting your bank directly for more information.
Delivery options
All cheques are sent via standard delivery. Publishers usually receive their cheques about two to four weeks after the posting date. However, it may take longer depending on the postal service in your location.
Standard delivery payments sent to the countries listed below will be sent by a local courier service. There will be no charge for posting payments in this manner and we anticipate that the payments will arrive within 10-30 days of the cheque date.
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Chile
- Colombia
- Ecuador
- Mexico
- Paraguay
- Uruguay
- Venezuela
AdSense publishers in selected countries in Latin America (listed above) will have standard delivery payments delivered via the local courier service Ocasa for no additional charge. Tracking numbers are not available for Ocasa cheque payments.
Deadline to cash cheques
If you haven’t received your cheque after 60 days, you can reissue a new cheque directly from your AdSense account. Visit your 'Transactions' page to see the original payment date and current status. If the check still hasn’t been cashed after 60 days, you’ll see a 'Re-issue payment' link appear next to your cheque’s status in your 'Transactions' page. Click on Re-issue payment and shortly after a new line item will appear showing that the cheque has been stopped and your refund is in progress.
You can only reissue a cheque from your account if more than 60 days has passed since it was issued.
If you do not deposit your cheque within 12 months after it was issued, your earnings will be credited back to your account and your payments will be put on hold.
Once your payments have been put on hold for an expired cheque, visit your payment settings and update your cheque delivery address. Whether or not you update your delivery address, you still need to click on the 're-enable' button on the cheque form of payment widget (or select a new form of payment). After you've edited and/or re-enabled your form of payment, your payment hold will be removed.
