How To Change Payee Name And Payment Method in Google Adsense Account
Last month, I was reading on the announcement from Google Adsense Blog on new payment method via Western Union. It’s a quick cash payment option allows you receive your payment immediate the day after the payment date. I was very excited to read this after received good news about PayPal allowed withdrawal via Visa cards for 26 Asia Pacific countries in end of September 07.
If you are used to receive check payment and want to change to Western Union Quick Cash, you need to do the following 2 steps in order to make it works for you:
- Make sure your payee name is correct according to your IC/Photo ID name,
- Change payment option to “Western Union Quick Cash”.
You may find it not easy to get the steps in google help although it is well written. I have compiled the steps by steps to let you change your payment option easily.
1) Login your Adsense account and follow the step below to check your current payment settings: Adsense account > My Account > Account Settings > Payee information > Edit
2) You need to check your Payee name record is correct according to your IC / Photo ID record, then you can proceed to step 7 to change the payment option. If not, you need to click on contact us link to change the record.
3) Select “Want To Change My Payee Name” option and click on the "Continue" button.
4) Enter the correct name into “Desired Payee Name” column.
5) Next, you got to do some verification before can submit your request. Follow the instruction 1-6 to enter your first registered impression day and number of impression.
6) Wait for 48 hours or longer before the new record updated.
7) Now, login your account again, select “Setup Western Union Quick Cash” then press “Continue”.
That’s all you need to do, wait until end of the month (normally on 25th day of the month), login to your adsense account to check the payment status. If Google approve your payment, then you just need to walk in to your nearest Western Union Agent to cash out your payment. Remember to bring your withdrawal information as below:
In Malaysia, you can go to CIMB Bank or POS Malaysia. I use CIMB bank for withdrawal as it is free! You can refer to the guide on how to fill in the form below.
I am not sure charging rate about POS Malaysia. If you have used POS Malaysia for withdrawal, please let me know.

Hi steven, I think I might have a problem. My payee name doesn't seem to match because the surname and last name is in reverse. I tried to change the name because seems that now, they no longer allow email options. I need to close the account before opening a new one. How should I go about doing this because if I close the account, does that mean I will lose all the money? Please help.

Steven, in fact my Google Adsense had been disabled years ago due to click fraud, I'd sent Google for reinstate account but not success. I'm using my bro's gf name for another Google Adsense account and I just got the first cheque from Adsense. I would like to change the payee name to myself for next cheque, but my name was banned years ago.
In this case, if I request for changing payee name to myself (name had been banned), will Google banned my current Adsense account as well? I know I should ask Adsense team about this, but I would like to listen your opinion.
Thank you!
Regards,
Lee

@Jang Jin, actually after a while it doesn't matter coz the bank clerk will know that was the oversea format. Sometimes I was ask to put in the signature to confirm that since it wasn't match my IC. I suggest don't change.
@Lee, it is impossible to change back your name. In fact, they don't allow you to do so. Even you manage to change your name, they will ban your account too.
