Google Adsense – Automatic Payment Pending: Western Union for $x,xxx

Google Adsense often sends out payment for the previous month between the 21st and the 26th and I often receive a message saying my payment is available on the 21st every month. However, I didn’t get their email on the 21st this month and when I logged in to my Adsense account, I saw this update in the transaction history:

Google Adsense – Automatic Payment Pending: Western Union for $x,xxx

I choose Western Union as my form of payment and of course, I couldn’t pick up the payment on the 21st as usual. If you see the same message in your account, you shouldn’t be worried since this is just a delay when Adsense is processing the payments. This is totally expected since the November 21st is on Wednesday and it is very close to Thanksgiving and Black Friday. In my case, I had to wait just one more day and the payment was available on November 22nd.

However, I see that many people were less fortunate and had to wait longer. You should contact Google Adsense’s support team only when you don’t receive the payout after the 26th.
