Check up on it

After counting the days till your AdSense check arrives in the mail, you might plan to sprint straight to the bank. But before you try to achieve a land speed record getting to your local financial institution, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Bank on it?

Because bank policies vary throughout the world, we can't say whether a specific bank will be able to accept your AdSense checks. Since all AdSense checks are issued by Citibank, a correspondent relationship between your bank and Citibank is required to process our US Dollar checks. We recommend that you check with your bank to find out if this relationship exists.

Patience is a virtue.

Banks take varying amounts of time to clear checks. The exact length of time before funds will be available to you is a question best answered by your bank.

A penny saved...

Checks from AdSense are for deposit only; they are not able to be cashed.

Now that you have all the information, we wish you happy spending (or saving) your revenue!
